”Ooooooh STARING contest! I thought it was a blinking contest and I was losing.” Patrick Yes I watch Sponge Bob! As I have already mentioned, I have a fascination with animation. I have now come to realize it is partly because of the taoistic nature of animation. Animation is the essence of living in the moment. But it goes […]
For as long as I can remember I have been fascinated by animation. Even now as an “adult” my favorite movies and TV shows to watch are of the animated variety. I have often wondered why this is. Not that I was too concerned about it. But it does present a bit of social difficulty when a […]
I took a walk today. I thought I knew where I was going, but about half way there I realized that I did not really know why I wanted to go there. So I took a left. Walked a few dozen feet and took a left again. I have been on this road before, but […]
If you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say anything at all! I would love to say my mother taught me that, but the truth of the matter is I am not sure she and that idea ever actually sat in the same room together. Yet somewhere along the way I actually learned this concept. I […]
One of the beauties of the internet is it allows us to really connect with people from all over the world. One of the curses of the internet is it allows us to really connect with people from all over the world. I said this a little while back to a new friend I met […]
I love apples. I am eating one right now. I am allergic to apples. Did I mention I am eating one right now? This seems to be a common theme in my life. I am the eternal “took the one less traveled by” man. Not sure if this is good or bad, but it is […]
Back in my yute (hey I like Cousin Vinny!) I often found myself collecting things. The things I collected were usually a reflection of my inherently irreverent (say that one time slowly) nature. I collected T-shirts. Of course they had to be humorous to say the least. Never insulting. That’s not my style. But often sarcastic. I collected […]
After simmering in my own stew for the last couple of day (oooh what an appetizing image that must create), I have lots of thoughts that need sorting. Writing is one of my fundamental ways of doing just that. I find that my best writing just happens. I am the mere conduit for words that wish to be read. They are […]
My mind is troubled today. Troubled in the way of a placid lake on a windy day. There are waves on my serenity. Apparently I think differently than most people. I tend to think in patterns, when most are focused on details. Because of this, I have a holistic view of reality. I believe everything is interconnected on some […]
There is an art to being able to recognize the power of even the simplest of objects. While I am by no means a master of this art, I work hard at practicing it every moment. Life is given flavor by fully appreciating it. Take something as simple as leaves. Depending on where you live, something you see every […]
