The Unhappiest Place On Earth.

I have had my fill of Disney. And this is a real shame, since I have been a Disney Kid since Walt Disney first introduced me to his Wonderful World of Color back in the 1960s. It was the only way for me to be able to visit Disneyland, and later on, Disney World, for...

It’s A Bird! It’s A Plane! It’s Super Stupid!

I don’t go to the movies anymore. And there’s a reason for that. Somewhere, somehow, DC and Marvel have taken over movie theaters and I have no interest in any of their movies. Don’t believe me? Here’s a list: 2015: Avengers: Age of...

A Great Time To Be Alive.

As I watched CNN last night, I was reminded of a speech Ronald Reagan once gave. Here’s a little excerpt: In my life’s journey over these past eight decades, I have seen the human race through a period of unparalleled tumult and triumph. I have seen the...

Shut Up Radio.

I have always had the basic rule in life that I would never date nor marry a media person. It’s not that I despise them. In fact, several of my friends work in radio and television. They are wonderful friends, but I don’t have to live with them....

Umbrellas Are For The Birds (And Nannies).

It was raining in Seattle yesterday. Not that unusual, given that this is the rainy season. This particular rain event, as they are called, will soon move on to the midwest, undoubtedly spinning up into a tumult that spawns tornadoes and other such horrors never seen...

The Dumbination Of America.

There are times when I get bored of all the exciting things I am doing and just want to vegetate in front of the old boob tube. Sure, I could be finishing my book, working on my first Steam Punk gun or learning new songs, but the old noggin likes to have a break from...

That’s A Lot Of Rules.

by | Dec 31, 2012 | Culture

I was watching a great show on TV a few days ago, one that covered the Bible from the perspective of the Jews, Christians and Muslims. There was a lot of stuff I never knew, such as the fact that Moses not only has a starring role in the Jewish and Christian faiths,...

Well, Son Of A Gun.

Ever one to be on the pulse of society, I came upon an interesting tidbit in Zite. If you don’t have the app Zite, you should. It’s like having your own magazine, containing only the topics you’re interested in. My own Zite “digizine” on...

Oh, The Weather Outside Is Frightful?

Oh, the wilds of fall are upon us, and winter is not far behind. Just as I remembered it, fall is a delightful time of the year here. You can’t help but get excited about the coming of the holidays as the weather tells you in very clear terms that yes,...

Rational Rationale.

by | Nov 13, 2012 | Culture

I am not a very rational person. I don’t know if it was in my DNA or if I just was left alone for too long growing up. I have always thought out of the box. I have never been extremely logical, having to drop out of Logic 101 in college because none of the...
