Turn Signals

I’m at this fork in the road.  Maybe not a fork exactly, but one of those flashing red light intersections where you can drone out to the blinking eye of Sauron up there, wondering which direction to go. If you keep going straight, then you stay on the path you’re pointing at now.  I can’t [...]

It’s Stranger on the Bus

I’m sitting here working late getting ready to work even longer and fighting boredom.  I could get into some serious trouble on these internets and am trying to break some bad habits, which isn’t totally easy to do!  I’m kind of stressing out a little; therefore I turn to you, my silent blog-friend.  You never [...]

Wisdom of Conan the Barbarian

“Crom! I’ve never prayed to you before. I have no tongue for it. No one, not even you, will remember if we were good men or bad.  Why we fought, or why we died. No. All that matters is that two stood against many. That’s what’s important. Valor pleases you, Crom, so grant me one [...]

Drunks and Organized Regilions

There’s a blog I read somewhat regularly, even if I am not a frequent commenter on it, and recently it discussed Organized Religion.  I happen to be of the mindset that religion needs to be organized – because I am the most unorganized mofo you’ll ever meet – and my religion is the only thing [...]

Double Speak

I was reading this article on Bill Clinton making a statement about the current campaign for the Democratic Party’s nomination, and how his statement was possibly misinterpreted. Is it just me, or are you tired of politicians also? I would have a lot more respect and support for one of these guys (or gals) if [...]

Irrelevant Irreverence

Is the title of this blog a double negative?  Does it really mean relevant reverence?  Whatever.  I am going to take a light-hearted look at my Sunday at church.  You are welcome to leave if you are afraid I will try and convert you to my Holier than thou religion. Today is Sunday and I [...]

Manufacturer’s Rebate

Life is easy and numb sometimes, if you let your body grow cold in these little pools of deceitful tranquility.  You make mistakes and bad decisions, but they appear to drop to the bottom of your pool.  You take so much for granted, and start to question who is in control – if anyone.  And [...]

Carrion Luggage

I asked my kids earlier today about the platypus.  The question was: “Does the platypus have a belly button?”  They both immediately thought it was a trick question and that they had to think long and hard about it.  Sara finally would not respond, and Megan retorted with the fact she knew the question – [...]

Six of One + Half a Dozen of the Other = 12

Today (Tuesday) was my 12th year anniversary!  It was not full of fancy dining, flowers, greeting cards or crazy sex though.  It’s been 12 years – what are you thinking!  K spent her morning at church actually with her group of ladies that she meets every Tuesday, and like I stated in the last blog, [...]
