I was reading this article about the future of humanity. I got to thinking that immortality, or at least the flavor we’re most likely to see in the near future, is probably not a good idea. Until we can eliminate some of the common ills of being human, we probably should put the brakes on … Read more
I wonder if I could live/work in New York City. It seems like a very good place for creative types, but i wonder a great deal about whether or not I wouldn’t end up in prison for killing some random cocksucker who tries to mug me. Is that bad?
I have never really understood the whole blame it on the parents deal. I mean, people who blame their parents for whatever problems they have as adults. I’d be interested in a serious conversation with someone who habitually blames their inadequacies on their parents. Anyone whom I’ve ever asked, or begun such a conversation with, … Read more
Stupid play calling in the final minute of the SD vs Baltimore game. I can’t believe they called a dive (running play) on 4th down, needing 2 yards for a first, with only 41 seconds on the clock. Especially when your QB threw for almost 400 yards. Weak sauce!

We don’t actually have HBO, or any broadcast television, but we do have the internet… and netflix, so we make … Read more
Facebook is a rather interesting social application for a number of reasons, but to me the most interesting is how people interact and what options are available when something changes the dynamic of the “friendship.” I haven’t really pursued many people for friendship. In most cases, people have contacted me and “befriended” me in this … Read more
I have had a number of discussions lately about crying. One recently on a blog, but others with various people over the last few months on the phone or in person. I have yet to find anyone who absolutely agrees with my position. Often they might agree on one level, but not to the degree … Read more
I love football, but I hate being a charger fan. It is quite possibly the worst type of relationship a grown adult can get into. You could make a case for any number of relationships being worse, but truly, the unrequited love affair that is a charger fan for the last 50 years maybe be … Read more
