  • Just Fleas on a Dog?

    Life eats life.  The smallest of organisms are feasted upon larger organisms who, in turn, are eaten by even larger organisms.  Likewise, the smallest of organisms feast off of the larger organisms.  We can eat animals like deer, but the ticks feast on the deer (and sometimes us).  We humans are not always the top…

  • Good Help…?

    Why is it so hard to find good help?  Seriously!  I’m willing to pay more than a fair wage, but most people who apply, do not want to really work.  They just want paid for doing nothing.  If I am paying top dollar, I expect a high caliber worker.  Don’t call me the morning of…

  • I Love a Good Argument

    I love arguing.  I do not argue in malice.  It is more of a debate.  I have taken up stances I do not agree with just to debate and have some fun, to keep people on their toes.  The key to arguing is not trying to convince the other person they are wrong.  That rarely happens. …

  • Not So Worthless…

    Generally, I think sports are pretty worthless.  Unless you’re really, really good (freak of nature good), you won’t make any money at it.  It is a complete waste of time watching (although I am guilty of that).  My son plays football, and it is now football season.  I’m not fond of wasting tons of gas…

  • I Do Not Care About Your Opinions…

    I really do not care about your opinions.  That does not mean I do not respect your input or the fact you have an opinion.  In fact, I am grateful you can think for yourself, assuming that is what you are doing.  What I do not want is to hear your opinions in an endless…

  • Hurry Up and Wait

    I hate hurrying just to wait.  It seems like everything is like that.  Hurry through traffic just to wait in line at the BMV.  Hurry through school just to wait trying to find a job.  Hurry to buy a car because I really want (or need) it and wait hours while someone fills out three large…

  • Doing Too Much… ???

    Sometimes, I wonder if I am doing too much.  Although the second book is written, editing needs done, the cover needs designed, Copyrights officially submitted, and about a half dozen other things before I call it done.  I also have a full time job that is a little more than full time.  I am raising…

  • Defenseless

    Why are people so willing to be defenseless?  I always take the approach of being aware of my surroundings.  I watch the way people move.  I look for actions or looks that are out of the ordinary for typical life.  I also (almost always) carry a weapon of some sort on me.  It could be…

  • 17-23 and Magnetic Poles

    Chapters 17-23 are written.  I’ve been on a writing spree lately.  I’m not sure why, but I am a bit anxious to get the book done.  The beginning of the process is filled with excitement and happiness.  By the time this last quarter or so comes around, my fingers hurt, and I really wish the…

  • Happy Birthday America!

    Instead of writing some thought-provoking blurb, I will just wish everyone a Happy 4th here in America.  Regardless of how everyone’s 4th went, this is still the greatest country in the world, and we are still the freest.  I’ll hold up my glass of Apple Pie and wish everyone a safe holiday weekend.
