So I was talking to Ken, a long-time reader of Taxicab Depressions the other night, who asked me how the book is coming… and I said that I’m currently working on a piece entitled, “There Are No Hyenas In North America”. That might strike you as a cryptic title, and you might be asking yourself, […]

So this douchenozzle stumbles upon my blog and posts a comment on The Pig Trap, only to find that the owner of this site has the audacity to moderate the comments posted on it, and then makes a second comment, where he says with great butthurt and much indignation, Awaiting moderation? That’s pathetic! What are […]
It is 5:25 on a Thursday morning, and I should be heading to bed, but I am on beer number four, I think… maybe number five… I lost count… and I am sitting here crying… Sweet Jesus, whatever you are doing, stop right now, and go look at Crap Taxidermy… I’m not sure which will […]
I did not want to give Ferguson and Fat Albert Garner in Staten Island a single molecule of oxygen, but we had some protesters a few weekends ago in my town, obstructing traffic and marching through the streets, chanting “Black lives matter” and “I can’t breathe” and “Hands up-don’t shoot”, and it really is aggravating.

Market Research: What Do You Like About Taxicab Depressions?
Posted: 8th March 2015 by Taxi Hack in UncategorizedTags: The Book
As I try to slap this book together, I am finding the most challenging aspect so far is trying to envision some sort of over-arching vision, a way to organize this stuff in a way that doesn’t get tedious for the reader. The blog format I have here works pretty good for what I have […]
A Few Thoughts On Current Events
Posted: 2nd March 2015 by Taxi Hack in UncategorizedTags: Politics
If you have read my post The Pig Trap, you know of my absolute bewilderment at the current state of our country. Our government is utterly lawless, just making shit up as they go along, creating regulations and executive edicts to bypass the Congress and the Constitution, committing crimes in the furtherance of those goals, […]
My Date With An Uber Driver
Posted: 17th February 2015 by Taxi Hack in UncategorizedTags: The Job, WTF?
I don’t remember how I found this… maybe I clicked a link in a comment on an article about Uber, and I found this YouTube video. Watch it all, and then read the post immediately after this one, “Batshit Crazy”. Still think I am making this shit up? Then think about this: these people can […]
Occasionally, I get people that have read my blog who think I am making this shit up. They say, “C’mon… people don’t really behave like this, do they? Are people really this crazy fucked up? You are at least exaggerating a little, right?” No, I’m not. I don’t have the imagination to dream this shit […]
Vignette: You Know Who You Look Like?
Posted: 21st December 2014 by Taxi Hack in UncategorizedTags: Vignettes
In theatrical script writing, sketch stories, and poetry, a vignette is a short impressionistic scene that focuses on one moment or gives a trenchant impression about a character, an idea, or a setting, and sometimes an object. -Wikipedia This one might be a little lame, but we liked it in the moment… A group of […]
Taxicab Depressions: The Book
Posted: 16th December 2014 by Taxi Hack in UncategorizedTags: The Book, The Job
Sometimes when people ask me if I like driving a taxi, I respond, “I’d rather pound my nuts flat with a wooden mallet.” That may be a bit of hyperbole, but not much. This really is a nightmare gig, at least for me. It’s not the hours or the driving or the traffic, it’s the […]
