A HIGHLY UNORIGINAL IDEA Who am I? Who are we? Am I who I was yesterday? For that matter, was I who I was yesterday, yesterday? Are you a monster? Am I a monster? What is a monster anyway? What is important? Is anything important actually important? Am I mad? Are “they” mad? Are we all mad? […]
I am about to step into no man’s land. The intent of this post is not to offend, but to question; to start thought; to point out the power and weakness that is words. I am going to look at a pretty well-known bit o’ words. One thing to note before I start. I am […]
Haven’t heard from friend Pete in a while, but as always when she speaks up she hits the nail on the head. I like her point, as well as the rather hilarious (and well written) letter she has pointed out. For the lack of anything useful to say myself today, I reposted this.
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]I seem to have lost the energy for daily posts again. I am petering out. Still struggling with the whole “Why bother?” dilemma. Why do I blog? Why do I rant; wax poetic/pathetic; ramble on in words and photos? What do I hope to achieve? What does anyone hope to achieve? All of a sudden […]
Everyone wants their lives to make a difference. We all want to be remembered; to make our mark. The challenge is how to do it. Ultimately everything we do is with this in mind. Every once in a while, though, the opportunity to do just that is handed to us. Just recently I was asked […]

This is an idea I have had floating around for some time now, and today being F day in the A to Z challenge, it is time to share it! Cultures, like individual people, have well-defined characters. And also like people, these characters are often best displayed in the activities we most take for granted. […]
My “C” post a day late … Humans can be scary. They have great capacity for selfishness. They seem to relish power … especially power over those they perceive as weaker than themselves. This is no great revelation, and I am probably not even saying something that you don’t know very well yourself. All one has to […]
Spring is in the air, which invariable causes two opposing reactions in Dichotomous Mister Steve. On the one hand, my lust for life is ignited, and I feel the thrill of possibility in every breath I take. Yet at the same time, this often seems to heighten the shadows I live in, and I also get a […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Music is power. Music can reach the very soul, when mere words fall flat. Even the least musically inclined person can be moved by music. This is why movies have sound tracks. This is why the simple concept of a person’s right to play a song is one of the core bases of the idea […]
