There is a difference between being a nomad and a simple drifter. Nomads may not stay put in one place very long, and may have a wide range of movement, but they move with purpose. They are following the resources that are needed to meet their needs … whatever those resources, and needs, may be. […]
I have determined that I am the writer’s equivalent of bipolar. I am not sure that psychologically I qualify (though I am also not sure I do NOT not), but my writing habits sure do. I seem to either have a plethora of positive to share, or a storm cloud of negative. And since I […]
We live in a society that worships image. This is an ultimate side effect of a profit driven culture. With an over abundance of choices in all aspects of our life, the only way to make MY product stand out over YOURS is to somehow make it APPEAR better. Since humanity in general is also […]
I may have mentioned once or twice that I am an antiestablishmentarianist. If I have not actually mentioned it, it probably shows. That is actually one of the few ists / isms I have ANY respect for. And not just because the word simply has character! For those who have not encountered this philosophy, or maybe […]
Today’s prompt for the Week of Words Challenge is called Two-fer Tuesday. The challenge is to describe the most amazing deal we have ever gotten in the form of an ad. Me not being much of a materialist, this is a pretty tough challenge for me … partly because I try my best to avoid […]
I was gabbing with Mark the other day and we mentioned getting more people following us and throwing their hard-earned cash at charities in our name. Mark suggested that more nudity was needed on the blog to get our numbers up. It made sense to me, so I decided to offer this picture to help […]
It is my personal belief that Hallmark is actually a branch of the Illuminati in its never-ending quest for world domination and manipulating history. I don’t have a lot of proof, but there are signs. Think about it. All these little holidays that really don’t mean much of anything. And the technology is constantly advancing. Cards that allow one to record their […]
I haven’t done any gratuitous plugging (other than maybe for myself) in a while. I feel so un-American now. But this is easily rectified, so here I go. Of course my plugs still qualify as invisible in the grand scheme of things, but for some people two new readers is still a bonus. For instance I would […]
I am sure I don’t really need to tell anybody this, but humans are just plain silly. It always amuses me how celebrity is the number one focus of most of humanity, and we generate all sorts of excuses why it is not only ok, but actually required to know every little dirty secret of […]
As I might have mentioned once or thrice, this blog is about finding the funny … even in some not so funny situations. I would like to think that my posts actually demonstrate this, and maybe even generate an occasional chortle or a guffaw if not a downright laugh, but I don’t want to assume. […]
