A list of resolutions I don't think anyone can . . . or will . . . keep!

BUT TRYING IS HALF THE BATTLE! Let’s keep the laughter going, shall we? Here’s an unusual list of New Year’s resolutions that may or may not be on any Blog-it member’s list, but they’re fun to consider nonetheless... * I resolve to not tell the same story at every gathering! I won’t bore my boss... Sign in to see full entry.

Doing my best to keep the Monday morning showboat afloat . . .

OF COURSE THEY’RE EXTREMELY HUMOROUS! THAT’S THE POINT! Put that laugh track away! These “funnies” are genuine... Some people aren’t necessarily “in denial.” They’re just very selective about the reality they accept. Remember: dogs have an owner; cats have a staff! Atheism is definitely a...

Sometimes it's as though the values of pure cinematography are just lacking

GIVE ME THE OLD ‘BLACK & WHITES’ ANYTIME! A very good friend of mine is a huge comic book aficionado, and has been ever since he was probably 8 or 9. He is also a bit of a movie buff. As such, he is one that will automatically purchase any comic book-related movie as soon as it is released on DVD.... Sign in to see full entry.

It's time for a little Christmas hiatus, complete with cookies & egg nog!

WHATEVER OR HOWEVER YOU CELEBRATE, JUST REMEMBER TO KEEP THE LOVE FLOWING! Well, Christmas is upon us once again, and this time of year means different things to different people. Some people will be going all-out, celebrating the birth of Christ, displaying nativity scenes on their lawns or on... Sign in to see full entry.

Oh those depressing Mondays! Here's a few 'charmers' to get you going again

I KNOW... THEY’RE GETTING WEIRDER AND WEIRDER! Time to apply a feather to that funny bone! These’ll tickle your fancy ( I hope )... Never trust an atom. They make up everything. The best way you have to protect your bagels is to put lox on them! Hey, what if all those crop circles are just... Sign in to see full entry.

There are times when it seems as though someone did this on purpose . . .

DID THEY MEAN TO CONFUSE EVERYONE? Here’s a perplexity that I can’t help but wonder how many others may have to contend with... The street my wife and I live on is called Fairmount Rd. The next street over, running parallel, is called Fairview Rd. Needless to say, at least once or twice a month,... Sign in to see full entry.

There are many ways to die, but how should each way be designated?

TAKING SOMEONE’S QUIETUS JUST A LITTLE TOO LIGHTLY Once again, I came across a newspaper article that stopped me dead in my tracks, and really got me thinking. This one spoke volumes of the seemingly callous way some people treat the demise of others. In its entirety... Man gets stuck in donation... Sign in to see full entry.

You wanna a reason to smile? I'll give ya a reason to smile!

IN FACT, I’LL GIVE YOU A REASON TO LAUGH OUT LOUD! Ho, hum. Just another Monday. Time for some chuckles... I recently lost my job. Well, I didn’t actually lose it. I still know where it is. It’s just that, when I go there, someone else is doing it! Sometimes, when one of my hairs fall out, I can’t... Sign in to see full entry.

What's in a name? It doesn't really matter if you can't remember it!

SOMETIMES THERE’S JUST TOO MANY! As some of you may recall, I have a rather large family: three brothers and two sisters ( all married ) fifteen nieces and nephews, and six great-nieces and nephews. Yes, keeping track of all those birthdays is quite a challenge! But apparently, remembering... Sign in to see full entry.

You know it's game over when you hear about gun violence in Iceland!

PROBABLY THE LAST BASTION OF CIVILITY IS NOW ON THE SKIDS... LIKE JUST SEEMINGLY EVERYWHERE ELSE! Although we try to keep the bulk of our posts as light-hearted and easy going as possible, sometimes reality comes crashing in, and we need to be reminded of just what kind of world we’re living in...

About this Blog

Like the famous Roman stand-up philosopher Comicus once exclaimed: “I coalesce the vapor of human experience into a viable and logical comprehension.” In other words, I see, hear and read about a lot of peculiar things, try to make some sense of them, and then pass them on to you, hopefully in a whimsical but common sense way. Strap yourselves in . . . this ride can sometimes be a little bumpy! From the author of "The Hindering" and "Welcome To America-Society In Decline"
