  • The Bell Curve

    Life seems to drastically change for me quicker than woman changes her mind on what she wants to watch on TV. That’s not always such a bad thing. Today, I realized how different I am than most people. Most of learned about “The Bell Curve” in high school math and science. It’s discussed in many…

  • Arrogance is Lethal

    I loathe arrogance. If you want me to discard you like a piece of rotted trash, be arrogant. I want nothing to do with people who think they are better than anyone else. Yes, I go that far. I know that I am highly intelligent, and that isn’t because I think of myself that way;…

  • The Collapse of Civilization

    Does a civilization know it is about to collapse, or is it a surprise event? I’m guessing it can be either/or; maybe it’s both. Did the Roman Empire know it was collapsing? I honestly do not know how long the collapse took. When was the last collapse sudden? Could it have been an asteroid strike…

  • Freedom

    As a new year arrives, most of us reflect on the past year and hope this coming year will be better than the last. We like to think we have the power to free ourselves from our past. In some respects we do, but what exactly is freedom? Freedom means different things to different people.…

  • One Final Fuck You From 2023

    Am I ever happy to see a year end. Not that I like getting older, my ass hurts from the pounding 2022 and 2023 gave me. I get a wonderful gift in the mail. As with all garments, I wash them before wearing them. I just don’t trust manufacturers anymore. I throw everything in the…

  • Fucking Fucked

    To quote a Muse song by the same name, “We are fucking fucked.” For the past five years, I’ve thought this next year couldn’t get any worse. I’ve been wrong every single fucking year. 2020 can’t be any worse than 2019… Wrong! 2023 is our year! Wrong! I thought 2016 was bad when I got…

  • Starting a Business Surrounded by Chaos

    Starting a business is easy. Doing it successfully? Now, that’s difficult. It’s difficult enough to create a successful business during the best of economic and personal times. Doing it in the middle of a questionable (at best) economy and in the middle of a chaotic personal time seems almost impossible, but that is what I…

  • Trying to Figure it Out

    When I was in my thirties, people told me I should write a book. They never really said why or about what. They just listened to a story from my past and would sit there in disbelief. I did write a book; I wrote three. Ten years ago, I thought I had everything figured out.…

  • Multiple Streaming and my Brain

    People might think it is odd, but sometimes, I don’t know what I’m thinking. I have a flow of thoughts in which many thoughts flow at the same time. Sometimes, I go back and forth between thoughts when a third thought comes into play. It’s like watching TV with two or three picture-in-picture boxes. If…

  • Boundaries

    Boundaries are such a simple concept, yet so difficult to implement. I am envious of those who have boundaries and stick to them. I’m just now realizing that I do not have any boundaries, per say. I think I do, but I clearly don’t. People seem to help themselves to my time, somehow convincing me…
