Someone asked me the other day who I admired most. I've been thinking about it for over a week now and I've come up with the answer. The person I most admire is (insert drum roll here) da dat dat dat da da da--myself. And the quality I most admire in myself is my modesty. Okay I'm kidding about the... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm a terrible flirt. But I'm going to keep practicing until I get better. I find nearly every woman I meet to be beautiful and charming and I can find all kinds of ways to let them know. "That's a nice outfit. At least I think it is. It's hard to tell because everything looks nice on you" (On... Sign in to see full entry.

Sometimes in an election there's an issue that's not important in itself but a candidate's position on the issue can provide an insight into his thinking that gives the voter a clue about how he makes decisions in general and how he would govern.

I wrote a few weeks ago about cancelling my cell phone service with AT&T wireless. Yesterday, I got the final($499) bill and had loads of fun with it.

Those of us who live in the United States are supposed to be proud of it. "Proud to be an American" goes the phrase. If you're not proud to be an American, you're an unpatriotic rat who ought to be kicked out of the country. I'm not proud to be an American. It just happens to be the country I was...

Is it just me or are there a lot of ads for drugs on TV these days? No not those kind of drugs. Medication. Not only are there a lot of ads on TV for different medications but most of them are for prescription medicines. I don't get it. Apparently I'm supposed to go to my doctor and tell her what to...
