This awkward incident happened on my walk into work today. A girl was riding her bike one direction, and another young lady was walking the opposite direction. Both headed for each other. The girl walking realizes this will end badly, so she stops walking to give the girl on the bike time to adjust course […]

It’s funny how my mom would say, “You kids didn’t come with an instruction manual.” By the time I had children, there were so many instruction manuals, you could use one to disprove another. I like to say that we’ve moved from the Information Age to the Misinformation Age on account that there is so

That’s a fairly broad and sweeping judgment, of course, but I contend, even based on my personally limited sample set, that it is true!! Let’s take some examples… I have a phone that can measure how far I walk, it can monitor my eyes and scroll the screen when my eyes hit the bottom of

I think Rotten Tomatoes has a pretty good synopsis: “The Counselor raises expectations with its talented cast and creative crew — then subverts them with a wordy and clumsy suspense thriller…” but just going off their review won’t give me the catharsis of venting about my experience with this film. First Off: Thriller? There was not

Many folks have heard this phrase… “he’s so poor, he can’t even afford a pot to piss in.” We use it as a figure of speech, but for 1 billion people on this planet, right now, in the year 2013, it’s a reality. Literally, according to the United Nations, “1 billion people, 15% of the

Our Planet is so gosh-dangly fragmentalized. Unless I want to become a robot (not saying I don’t but let’s ride on the pretense that being a robot is not on the to-do list), pursuing 1 clear cut goal is really obnoxiously difficult. Why is that?… I am yet again so glad you have asked. It
Ah, yes. Steven Covey. A name that is near and dear to many of us in theory, and to fewer of us in practice. Proof positive that a horse can be lead to better habits, but will often instead, choose to drink. Here I am again, then. Round 3,755, maybe. I lost count in the

FB2 Electric Boogaloo Odd… there have been several other posts I’ve contemplated, but I finally get around to typing something and it is about Facebook again. Again? Isn’t there something beyond Facebook? Hmm, ironically, that is why this post came about. Social Network Blues I pulled out of several networks. Let’s face it, maintaining a

OK, really this post is probably redundant, but since they are a faceless organization that plays every trick in the book to avoid allowing people to contact them directly, this just makes me feel betterer. HOW TO REACH FACEBOOK? OK, so here are some options – I haven’t tried them yet, but figured I would

Sometimes, while standing in my bathroom waiting to potentially throw-up, my mind wanders down the weirdest paths. Maybe I should have a Slim Jim and a bag of baby carrots for lunch more often? Not my most brilliant nutritional pairing… ah… that’s how I got here. I was thinking about bad pairings. Luckily the Slim
