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

For a while now, I’ve been convinced that my right ear is deformed. Wait. I forgot I wanted to have a soundtrack. It just so happened to be the last song I heard on my walk this morning, so it doesn’t necessarily mean anything, but it doesn’t help that I have a weak thing for… Continue reading Saturday, August 24th, 2013
How long is intermission?
I like the movie “Bull Durham” a lot. I was going to say that at the beginning of the second paragraph, and I probably still will, but I feel if I didn’t say it also at the beginning of the first paragraph, you might not make it to the second paragraph, especially if you are… Continue reading How long is intermission?
stars and thoughts
I went six plus weeks without visiting my own website. I can’t go six days without visiting a bar, but I can pass up on what I profess to be important to me for over six weeks and seemingly be okay with it. I have lots of reasons why I haven’t been here, all of… Continue reading stars and thoughts
The skin and the bones
Like most people, I harbor a fantasy about winning the lottery. Unlike most people, I find myself daydreaming about elaborate scenarios of just what I would do not only if I won but how it would be different depending on how much I won. Let’s face it, a $1o million fantasy is probably a lot… Continue reading The skin and the bones
Don’t let the messenger shoot you
I spend a lot of time on Facebook, sometimes so much so that I would classify it as “too much”. I could try to explain it away as simply trying to stay in touch with the cultural zeitgeist (man, I love that word. So happy I got to use it. It’s part of my holy… Continue reading Don’t let the messenger shoot you
Be the singer not the song
When I was on my vacation I went to a Jimmy Buffett concert (surprise, surprise, I know.) As always the concert was great. Jones Beach is a beautiful venue, and not only did I get to see a lot of my friends that I miss, I went to the show with one of my best… Continue reading Be the singer not the song
Virtuous
Ever since it was delivered, my computer has been trying to teach me patience. The space bar does not always seem to work, especially if you happen to catch it on the edge and not press firmly in the middle, and I don’t always seem to hold the shift button down long enough when capitalizing.… Continue reading Virtuous
Everyday beauty
My brother lives in a small town. I’ve noticed that there are a couple different types of small towns out there. There is the small town that’s right next to three or four other small towns and one of those towns is right next to a bigger town and on the other side of the… Continue reading Everyday beauty
