Freedom and Justice for All...

PERCEPTION SHIFT I heard a poet talk of homelands, of immigrant findings, of America what it is what it means how it differs from what he imagined. I thought about my old belief that I was altogether American by birth, by ancestry, by association; until one day I found myself to be a world citizen -... Sign in to see full entry.

PREDATORY LOVE

There’s a certain recipe for love that’s put out by the movie makers, where boy sees girl, boy wants girl, but girl is happily on her own and doesn’t flip her hair or swish her skirt and gives him the cool shoulder. Now he can’t have that. His competitive instinct is turned on, and he is determined... Sign in to see full entry.

INNER CHILD

It might have been a guy named John Grey who was all over PBS and other networks a few years back, explaining his theory about the inner child.

TUESDAY AT THE CENTER

I got up early – not really my idea but I was awake so what the heck.

WHAT'S THE JOKE?

My taste in TV programming has changed – perhaps narrowed. No longer enjoy weird mysteries, things like the X-Files which are a filmed just a bit out of focus at times, with lots of shadows and faces obscured, voices a bit blurred at times. Nope.

SO, YA WANNA KNOW WHAT I THINK...

Mark Z, or rather his cyber-team, asked me this a.m. to take a short survey about whether or not Facebook cares. Considering the fact he let those Cambridge Analytica chaps access and manipulate some 87 million FB subscribers by means of an attitude survey, it seems a bit ironic that Markie Boy...

WOW! THE UNIVERSE SEEMS TO BE LISTENING

If you read this blog yesterday then you know I was complaining about having to come up with interesting topics for our writes on Thursdays.

Tired of ‘splaining the “how-to” where you nod and seem to get it, but when you read aloud afterward you obviously didn’t. What part of “details matter” don’t you understand?
