Can people change? Do they? I believe they can. I also believe that the vast majority don’t, at least not without serious motivation and effort. Once upon a time I was known as The Test Dummy. It’s not that I had no fear, but rather that fear never stopped me from pushing my limits. I […]

What role does economy play in a society? These are two seemingly simple questions, but it just may be that the answers could well determine the path that humanity as a whole will ultimately follow. Essentially there are two choices for both questions. Control or […]
The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. -Lao Tzu I have probably used this quote before, especially because it is a simple yet profound truth. But I also have recently realized that it is not completely accurate. No journey really begins with the first step. Rather it begins with the decision to take […]
[popup url=”http://wp.me/P3H47j-2kz” height=”500″ width=”1200″ scrollbars=”yes” alt=”popup”]Its true, I swear!! Click here for the proof![/popup] I am going to try this again. I know it is really a vain effort. For one few really read my blogs, and those who NEED to see this would probably ignore it even if they did read it … after all thinking for […]
What exactly IS adventure? A dictionary definition is “an unusual and exciting, typically hazardous, experience or activity”, but does that really give us the full meaning? Adventure falls into the same category as other, life changing yet often sought after mysteries, such as love, happiness, and hope. Each of these concepts is ultimately defined by the […]

I am the first to “Macgyver” something to make sure I achieve my goals, whether it be to fix something that is broken, or jury-rig something for lack of any other methods that will work. This is the value […]

Struggling with my sense of purpose. Struggling with living in a society I am losing more and more respect for; struggling to find where to put my foot next as I walk along my path in life. My recent wanderings have taught me much […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Life is ultimately about change. This is no great revelation … a simple statement of observable fact. So why do I start my post with a statement of the obvious? Ultimately, because I need to start SOMEWHERE, and that is what worked for me. Yep, folks, I am once again on a ramble. Hope others […]
“Not yet Brown Dog! It’s too early! Go back to bed!” This is my equivalent to hitting the snooze button on an alarm clock. Every morning Brown Dog enthusiastically and urgently prances about, essentially saying “Gottagogottagogotaago!!,” while her mean and unfeeling companion hasn’t the energy to crawl out of bed yet. This has become part […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Why is it not acceptable to blame easy access to guns for gun violence, but it IS acceptable to blame women for the rape of women? Why is it frequently the same people having those conflicting thoughts? Why do (again often the same) people find blaming lack of prayer in schools is a valid explanation, but […]
