What Once Was - Ain't No More

Rather than beat around the bush and try to lead into this in a semi-logical manner, I'll get right to the point. The past is gone – vanished, disappeared in a cloud of dust and a hearty "Hi, Ho Silver!" It is history, not real, mental vapor, and gone, ... Read >

Eureka! I've Found It!

OK, so it wasn't quite that big of a deal. But I did find the "T" that mysteriously escaped from the word "not" in one of my articles a few months ago. Yep, I found it all right. Right at the end of what was intended to be the word "though". Of course... Read >

Our Life – Our Choice…

OK, maybe that's a bit of an overgeneralization but it applies most of the time. Basically, what I am saying is that we are what we are because that's what we've decided to be. We live where we live, do what we do and think what we think because that's ... Read >

I'm My Own Grandpa!

OK, maybe not but I'm a lot like him in many respects. Yeah and the same goes for my Grandma and my Mom and Dad, too! I'm a lot like all of 'em. Naturally, genetics does play a substantial role in all of this but I'm talking about all of the other stuf... Read >

How Stupid Can People Be?

"I can't believe she did that!" "What the hell is he thinking?" "Any idiot would have better sense than that!" "Are they all taking dumb pills?" "What's the matter with these people?" "Why am I working with a bunch of morons?" "He doesn't have the s... Read >

Really Scary Stuff…

With the probable exception of some basic instincts – or motivation toward self-preservation – we've just flat learned to be afraid of about all the rest of the stuff we're afraid of. I know, the word "about" is a cop-out but I'm using it because I'm not... Read >

Mirrors…

Mirrors, mirrors all around Why don't I hear the joyful sound Of myself clapping as I stroll by? Is it you or is it I? Aarghhh! My sincere apologies to the real poets of the world! The things I do to amuse myself… Mirrors lie. All those piece... Read >

It's Good to be Goofy

To paraphrase a saying my mother liked to use occasionally, "The whole world is goofy – except you and me. And sometimes I'm not too sure about you!" Rest assured that no matter who we are or what we do, there is at least a handful of people somewhere... Read >

The "G" Word

Life's an Illusion

Busy, Busy, Busy…

…busy, busy, busy, bus… OK, slap me with a wet diaper! Enough of that silliness. Most you know what I'm talking about though, right? That's us! Busy. Doing what? Stuff. What kinds of stuff? All kinds of stuff. Like what? You name it. Give me an example. C... Read >
