I don’t usually comment on blogs I find on blogexplosion, but I couldn’t help myself. I posted this on a blog I found. I’m not a fan of rap music… I think most of it is crap from a musical perspective. As social commentary, it doesn’t do much either… but then again, neither does country. … Read more
One of the things you find quite often as you read other peoples blogs, is a demented view of one’s self. I’m talking mostly of people (women really) who claim to be something they clearly are not. I know that half the allure of having a blog is that the medium is as anonymous as … Read more
Someone once said, “there no dumb questions!” That is about as inaccurate a statement as can be made. Of course there are dumb questions and even dumber times to ask those dumb questions. For instance, as much as this is a tragedy, it was also avoidable. There isn’t anything a human being can possess that … Read more
I gained a great deal of weight after my move here and found myself with very little motivation to exercise regularly. Of course, once I started to see myself in the mirror, I knew it was time to do something. I’ve lost a few pounds in the last few months and I didn’t really do … Read more
Lest you get the impression that I’ve gotten all soft on you, the last post was just something I started writing and, after a few minutes wondering if I should or shouldn’t, posted.

I think my rebuttal to the latest … Read more
Just wondering exactly why people tend to blame others for their inadequacies. I mean, I understand that doing so is easier than finding a problem in yourself and taking action to correct it. That I understand. It is the blatant disregard for personal responsibility that gets me. I just watched Super Size Me, the film … Read more
A friend of mine just broke up with her boyfriend of 2.5 years. Amazingly, I’ve been quite supportive and not my usual tough love kinda self. If you’ve read any of my advice posts in the past you’ll wonder if I’m channelling Mother Teresa. The truth is, I can sympathize with her because I was … Read more
There must be some kind of weird virus that is released when a couple has a child. Seriously. Normally sane people suddenly lose their mind when under the influence of parenthood. For instance, you’re an able bodied man. Strong. Virile (obviously). Yet, the moment your child starts to throw a tantrum you suddenly become a … Read more
I had a dream a few nights ago. One in which the country was saved from another four years of really poor management. Unfortunately, they really bad managers were given new jobs. Jobs in which they were fundamentally responsible for the education of our nation’s youth. They created a television show that subliminally changed a … Read more
