NCAA Promo

Does it seem odd to anyone else that the song chosen for a promo in last night’s NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship Game was sung by The Chainsmokers and Coldplay?  I wasn’t good enough to play college ball but I know enough to understand that both “chainsmoking” and “cold play” are antithetical to the […]

Facebook Survival

It seems Facebook has become has become a fog of white noise, unsubstantiated opinions, and useless information – dare I say, mis-information.  I’ve unconciously developed some survival mechanisms to cut through. You might find these policies helpful to your daily navigation through this cesspool. Whenever you see a post that […]

Steve Bannon

Is it just me or does Steve Bannon, President Trump’s Chief Political Advisor, look like he just came down off of a four day whiskey bender? I think so. But, I thought maybe I was alone in my opinion until an acquaintance of mine (a professional comic) wrote a funny […]

Drywall

Drywall hanging is a tedious, messy, and largely unrewarding process. Until it’s done. Completion is thoroughly satisfying. But every step of the way up to the point of completion will be a war of willpower. It will test your resolve. The half-finished walls will keep staring at you defying you […]

Fart Fib

Did you ever find yourself in an uncomfortable situation where you were in a semi-crowded area but knew you had to, how shall we say, release some pressure?  You get a slight twinge down below the equator but think you can safely bleed off the top 30 or 40% without […]

Migration

Ok, I’m in the process of migrating my blog from Tumblr to WordPress.  It hasn’t been as smooth and swimming as I’d hoped.  All this DNS and widget stuff has really gotten my hamster wheel spinning.  And the wheel is squeaking a lot and is annoying a lot of people.  Please […]

Squirrels Forget

Sometimes I ponder things.  The order of the universe and such.  It became strikingly evident to me that it’s a good thing all beings on earth don’t have the same habits nor share the same intelligence level.  I think it’s part of the divine plan. For instance, no one would […]

Star Wars

I went and saw Star Wars The Force Awakens tonight.  It was good – really damned satisfying to watch.  Entertaining I’d even say.  I do have a few thoughts after watching however.  These are mere nitpicks about a really good movie, but were things that came to my awareness as […]

Dogs

To a dog, almost everything is happening now.  Go outside now.  Eat something now.  Sniff something now.  Bark now.  Chase something now.  Hump something now.  They have a rudimentary, shadowy sense of the past, but they live almost completely in the now.  Dogs have absolutely no concept of the future. […]

Airplane Bathroom

Never are you more on stage than when you stand up to go take a leak on an airplane.  To begin, you’re strolling toward the cockpit in front of 150 or so other passengers.  This automatically gets people’s attention because you’re quietly announcing that you’ve either got to shake the […]
