mike's common sense

I am troubled by the hostility I encounter everyday. It does not bother me that people are vehement about their beliefs, but rather the way they communicate them to others. The politicians, the editorials, the news channels, the evangelists, even the writers here on blogit, don't know how to get... Sign in to see full entry.

You may not know this, (because I never told you) but, I used to be a disc jockey. I am also a rock and roll historian. I am not bragging when I say a have a BIG record collection. I have been wanting to write a post on early rock and roll for sometime. This time let's talk about "feel good" songs... Sign in to see full entry.

I've been around for awhile, I've seen the ups, and the downs. But I don't know if I have ever seen things so crazy. The economy is in the crapper, there is an election looming of epic proportions, etc. and nobody knows what to do. There really seems like there is nothing the common person can...

Well, I have been a member of the blogit family for a little over two months now. and it's kinda nice. You all have been very warm to me. This post is to bring up some past posts, that I feel you would like, but missed. When I first came on blogit, most of my posts were only read by 4 or 5 of... Sign in to see full entry.

This is the third installment of a three part series. If you have not checked out this post in a while, please start with part one. After encountering Marty for the last time, I was shaken. I had never seen an aura before, let alone seeing one from down a long hall, with hundreds of people in the... Sign in to see full entry.

This is the first part of a trilogy of true stories, take them as you will. Back in the mid-sixties a guy named Kreskin, was very popular. He would go on all the popular talk shows, and do feats of ESP. My dad said he was a quack, but I was much more open minded about it than he. I was in fact... Sign in to see full entry.

As I have mentioned before, I am not a political person by nature. I basically distrust them all. If you really want to know my political views, see "Eeney, meeney, miney, moe." But since I do write a "humor" post, the candidates are lots of fun to pick on. Since we really only have two candidates... Sign in to see full entry.

I am a pretty laid back kind of guy. I try to maintain an even keel on a day to day basis. But right now, I am contemplating calling the suicide hot line. I need help! You see, my wife just brought home dog number six yesterday. Some friend of hers couldn't keep the dog when they decided to move... Sign in to see full entry.
