I just read this article over on Inside pulse and thought I’d link it here because it does a really great job of touching on a couple of things that I think about a lot. One of them is the idea that everybody’s life has its own musical soundtrack whether we realize it or not, …

You Wanna Go Where Everybody Knows Your…Initials?
Until today, I thought that I had either experienced or heard about every kind of telemarketing stupidity there was. But as it turns out, I was wrong, very very wrong. Let me set the scene for you. I’m sitting at the computer, trying to get a little work done, when suddenly the phone rings. I …

Hi
Hey everybody. Just popping in to let you know that I’m still alive. Sorry about the lack of posting over the last few days, but there’s only 1 of us around right now and I haven’t been very interesting this week. Nothing funny or thought provoking has happened to me over the last few days …
Green Day
Last night I went and saw Green Day in concert, and wow, that’s all I can say. They put on an absolutely fantastic show. The set was a really well put together mix of new and old and even though a couple of albums weren’t as well represented as others, I have no complaints. Everything …
Sticks and Stones…
You know the old saying, “Sticks and stones can break my bones, but names, or words, will never hurt me?” If that’s true, then why is there all this political correctness bullshit?

Irony Rules
So how is everybody? Good? No? Yes? Whatever, let’s just get on with this. I wish I could figure out what the hell is up with the weather these days. Last week it was amazingly Summerish, then over the weekend there was snow on the ground and yesterday was just cold and crappy, but today …
What Does Freedom-Fighter Mean to You?
No, this isn’t even remotely close to deep or political. The deepest it goes is, wow people are out of it in my town. There’s this weird coffee store near me. It’s kind of a cool place. There’s a grinder working all the time, and they get blends of coffee that are supposedly made in …
Confusion Square?
Well, the people in the city where I live sure know how to make things interesting. For some unknown reason that no one can agree on, they’ve decided to rip apart the main hub of downtown. Some say it’s to fix sewer pipes, some say it’s to put in phone lines, some just stare mystified …
