I can't complain but sometimes I still do

What is the dilly, you?

Because I know a lot of clueless white people read my blog, here is a story explaining the confusing (for Caucasians) success of cross-dressing Christian playwright/actor Tyler Perry. I've never seen one of Perry's plays or movies, because they look so awful that I don't dare. But this story did make me curious enough to put "Diary of a Mad Black Woman" at the top of my Netflix queue. I'm almost positive that it will be terrible, but I'm hoping for brilliantly terrible.

I can't complain but sometimes I still do

: Name: Steve Hyden; Location: Appleton, Wisconsin

My name is Steve and I'm a newspaper reporter and writer living in northeast Wisconsin, which is just below the armpit created by the bulk of the state and the peninsula. I don't live in the actual armpit, which is Green Bay, which is a place where fat people sit on their porches and watch traffic go by when the Packers aren't in season. I live in Appleton, a place where slightly less fat people do slightly more interesting things, like watch NASCAR, which is traffic with better camera work. I like living here 79 percent of the time. I fancy myself a deep thinker, an iconoclast, a man who can enjoy both high and low culture. Think Chuck Klosterman with a dose of Jack Nicholson from "Five Easy Pieces." However, I suspect I am not nearly as cool as I think I am. I may in fact be a dork. For example, look at how I described myself a few sentences earlier. What can I say? I'm the guy who started listening to the Clash when he was 13 not because he was reacting against the repressive Republican regime he had lived under most of his life, but because John Cusack wore a Clash T-shirt in "Say Anything..."
