The Power of Love

The age old battle for man to figure out is, do I try to acquire power, or do I follow the path of love? A quick look through our past, shows that a vast majority of people are in the business of getting power. The pitiful few that have sought love, are the martyrs that we all are so familiar with....

Big Butts

I come from German ancestry, almost all of my forbearers, are German. I am a third generation, American. However because of excessive in-breeding by my Grandparents, I am almost all German by descent. Not too bad really, I was always a very good athlete, but there was one stigma I never could shake,...

I've Got Work To Do

After reading my last entry, I'm sure many folks are thinking that I am a cruel person. How could I do something like that to my own brother? In my own defense, I must say, that I did pull some cruel practical jokes on Albert, (the Easter egg eating contest just one of these) but not one of them was... Sign in to see full entry.

My Brother Albert and the Easter Egg Eating Contest

I grew up in a family of five kids. Albert, was the oldest, followed closely (ten months), by me. The fact that we were so close of age is probably what led to his downfall. Albert was really a pretty good brother, especially as big brothers go. However he had committed a sin for which I could never... Sign in to see full entry.

Musings

The most beautiful sunsets, occur after the ugliest of storms. Your best friends, are your longest friends. Life doesn't suck after 50. Sometimes you gotta admit, you got just what you deserve. You know you have to work on being patient when you run into too many red lights. Being humble is not the... Sign in to see full entry.

Let's Talk About Welfare

Public assistance, or welfare, came into being in our country back in the 1940's. It was a very necessary step at the time because there simply weren't enough jobs available for the population of black men. Whites owned almost all factories, and business, and there were no equal employment laws.... Sign in to see full entry.

The Cone of Death!

I really like living in South Florida. It has a lot to be said about it. I love it sunny and nice everyday. The summers, however can be a little hard to take, the sun is brutal, the humidity is stifling, and South Florida is a magnet for hurricanes. Every year, you live knowing, another Andrew could...

We Hope You Have a Miserable Flight With Us Today

As I have mentioned before, I work for one of the major airlines here in Miami. The good news is I get to fly for free,(provided there is an unused seat available) the bad news is I get treated just like everybody else(crappy). It seems that the airlines today are trying to get us to forget that you... Sign in to see full entry.
