Inherently Different

i, robot… you, still a loser

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

new york state of mind

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?

blame game

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

4th & 2

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!

bee mine

The red queen was accosted by a wayward bee and now has sausage fingers. In her honor, we had jambalaya with sausage for dinner.

darkness falls

As you can see, I changed my blog design again. I was trying to create something for Halloween, but couldn’t find a spooky enough image to use as my base. After giving up on spooky, I was fiddling around with an image of a full moon as seen through the woods and thought it might … Read more

bloody good show

My gf loves the show True Blood on HBO… ok, really she just likes vampires (and mostly vampires named bella or bruce? or whatever that gay guy from harry potter is named in the books). We don’t actually have HBO, or any broadcast television, but we do have the internet… and netflix, so we make … Read more

elitist

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

no crybabies

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

blue and gold

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
