I know I’m coming very late to this party, but I have to say that I just don’t get why anyone gives a crap about people who are famous just for being famous. It used to be that you became famous for accomplishing something, or discovering something or even just surviving something. And I don’t… Continue reading October 16, 2013

I believe that we, as individuals, are mostly responsible for determining if we have a good day or a bad day. How we choose to face the day and how we choose to react to what the day throws at us makes up ninety percent of deciding good day or bad day. There are certain… Continue reading October 12, 2013

One thing that I have noticed about me lately that is different than what I’m used to is that, for the first time that I can remember, I’m not concerned with the “end-game” of my actions. That isn’t to say that I don’t care what the consequences are or how they affect my life or… Continue reading October 9, 2013

In an effort to hopefully increase the number of people who read my blog, I am going to make sure I post every Wednesday and Saturday. The Wednesday blog will be more of a thematically connected one (as if it were one long essay that I was breaking up into 1,000 word sections) and the… Continue reading October 5, 2013

Like most people, I’ve always been a big believer in the motto “Actions speak louder than words.” I think the reason that this is basically accepted as a truth is because it speaks to conscious vs. subconscious nature of behavior. Maybe an even better comparison is to the two classifications of muscles: voluntary vs. involuntary.… Continue reading October 2, 2013

I’m a big fan of The Far Side cartoons, certainly one of my favorites that have been out there. I remember when I was in high school I had a Far Side day-a-page calendar and on October 26 (my birthday) there was a drawing of a short order cook throwing a couple of guys out… Continue reading September 28, 2013

I know that many of you are breathlessly awaiting my next chapter into validation, acceptance, self identity and the internet (at least that’s how I’m referring to it this week) but I saw an ad in the local paper today and it made me want to write about something different. (To show that nothing ever… Continue reading September 25th, 2013

My friend Carl made an interesting about my last post. He referred to what he called social currency and compared the internet to being like the modern day water cooler or bar-the place we go to talk about life. I certainly think that is true on several levels and to a certain extent, but to… Continue reading Spetmeber 21, 2013

I wish I was a less shallow person. I don’t think that shallow might be the best word to describe what I’m talking about exactly, but the lazy writer in me says that, as a writer, I can re-purpose a word that I think might be close enough to what I’m going for. The trying-to-be-more-engaged… Continue reading September 18, 2013

I was reading an article last week that someone or ones, a group of scientists I’m sure, came up with a clock that is 100 times more accurate than the previous most accurate clock. This got me thinking about time (which got me thinking about this song for today’s soundtrack) Time, or more accurately the… Continue reading Saturday, August 31, 2013
