So, without further ado... YOU KNOW... Sign in to see full entry.

It's a new year!

WHO’S UP FOR SOME RESOLUTIONS? Well, it’s that time of year again. Time for some of the masses to make those vows, those pledges, those resolutions we like to call them, to change or correct certain aspects of their personal lives, usually for the better. The lists typically include such... Sign in to see full entry.

A wonderful yuletide

NO POST-CHRISTMAS BLAHS FOR ME! I hope everyone’s holiday weekend was as nice as mine. Although my wife and I have no children, we were still able to enjoy Christmas on a myriad of levels. My wife’s family is extremely small ( one sister, a niece and a nephew ), where as mine is HUGE ( three... Sign in to see full entry.

Obviously, Christmas isn’t for everyone

YET ANOTHER RIDICULOUS CONFLICT Like just about any topic or issue, there are usually at least two sides. For years now, there has been an on-going argument/debate concerning the separation between church and state. Regardless of the fact that America was supposedly founded on religious freedoms and...

A controversial topic?

THE CONCEPTS OF HEAVEN & HELL - A THEORY It’s been said that the two worst topics of conversation to be engaged in with almost anybody, anywhere, any time, are usually politics and religion. There will always be a myriad of opinions and beliefs concerning both categories, and it’s nearly impossible... Sign in to see full entry.

Time to make your list

WHO ARE YOUR “TOP TEN” BANDS? Since I’ve already posted a blog or two that made various references to music, I thought I would pose one of those left-field “ if you were stuck on a desert island ” type questions concerning your musical choices. If you could have every recording ever made ( that... Sign in to see full entry.

Ready for a rough winter?

PAY ATTENTION TO THE CRITTERS! Several years ago I was watching a documentary on WW II ( I know... there are hundreds! ) During this particular program, a former Japanese soldier was asked how he and his comrades survived for so long in the jungles of southern Asia, with no provisions other than...

Another finale?

PHRASES THAT SHOULD NO LONGER BE POPULAR - PART 6 Okay, okay... I believe this will finally exhaust my “debunked” phrases list. I just had too many to simply discard. Thank you for indulging me.

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"
