Meet Kevin Julie as he approaches the last year of the 20th century. It is January 1999, and Kevin is almost 30 years old. He is happy go lucky, but very lazy. Kevin plays at his job as a personnel manager for a global company, relying heavily on his assistant, Mary, who sees him through some hilarious moments. In All Blogged Up, Kevin's story begins as he is going through a barren spell of sexless frustration. On a never-ending quest to get laid, his humour, guile and pure luck keep him from getting into big trouble, as he plans for the biggest party of the millennium. Kevin spends months building a party guest list that grows larger by the week. He keeps a blog page throughout the year for his Peeps, the people he believes follow his blog, and will all join him for the best party ever on December 31, 1999. Those who make up Kevin's crazy world include his cat and dog, his best friend, Alexis, her partner, Jane, his mother, who wants Kevin to get married, and Jack, his mountain-size friend. Kevin shares his ups and downs with his Internet audience, as All Blogged Up, his diary, documents his loves and his life, making light of his failures, and the most of his successes.

"There is so much going on in this book. One minute I'm laughing; the next minute I'm crying and then I'm steaming mad at some fucktard I don't even know. When's the follow-up coming out?!" - T. Caraway, Age 22, Chicago, IL @ "Kilgore really makes me want to think twice about quitting my job at the record store and heading to LA like I have always dreamed, yet she makes it seem like so much fun! And I can't date her cuz she'll write about all the stupid things I do." - J. Garner, Age 25, Tokepa, KS @ "Just tell me now, is there anything in your book that would make me have to apologize to anyone or pick and move in the middle of the night?" - P. Buenger, Pasadena, Texas (Robin's Mother) @ "You used cuss words in your book?! Well, that's not very cultured...There went your shot on Oprah!" - M.

Americans using oil for transportation and energy infrastructures tithe foreign terrorists indirectly, drive the U.S. national debt deeper with foreign loans to pay for inefficient, uncreative macroeconomic policy that prioritizes support for global corporatism at the neglect of national renewal. In 2005 ten of the twelve richest corporations (by revenues) were fossil fuel or auto corporations. The political impact they have on U.S. policy is extreme. These essays written in 2005 and 2006 consider U.S. politics, corporatism, federal deficits, outsourcing of jobs, decay of national infrastructure comparative economic advantage, Middle East policy, illegal alien immigrant labor policy etc. Alternate home energy production for electric fuel is necessary to terminate increasing political domination of U.S. federal policy by global corporations.
