LIfe is all about options. The choices we make, the reasons we come up with to justify our actions, and the consequences we ultimately must pay for them. There is a balance to the universe and it is even more simplistic than the concept of yin and yang and the balance it perpetuates. Right andContinue reading “Options”

Random Thoughts on a Thursday
I spend much of my day at my computer looking out my window. Every day, around 2 or 3pm, the little kids from school in the neighborhood start whooping it up outside, you know, playing. Now I’m not the grumpy guy who yells at the kids; not at all. I’m actually quite the opposite. OneContinue reading “Random Thoughts on a Thursday”
Moving Forward
I made time to block out more of my novel, If Only, and in order to do a serviceable job on the subject of a world where females are the dominant gender, I have to start by breaking down the differences between us. Firstly, I had to address the very issue of gender identification. HowContinue reading “Moving Forward”
I KNOW Why Me?
I am my best ally and my own worst enemy. I elevated myself to levels of euphoria and visited the depths of the abyss. From the year 1974 to 1987, if given any two choices, I would indubitably choose the option that was the worse for me. Consistently. Knowingly. When I entered the higher echelonsContinue reading “I KNOW Why Me?”
This story got me Banned from Facebook!
I think of myself as a pretty reasonable person, but yesterday I was notified that a recent story I posted on Facebook had resulted in several bad comments and just like that, Maddogg’s fb voice was silenced. My response to the “support” team was: “It’s a story. Fiction.” Evidently, my succinct response resulted in myContinue reading “This story got me Banned from Facebook!”
An End to the Madness
The worst-ever season in their Premier League history. Overpaid underperformers, over-the-hill players still making lineups based on past reputations, and third-rate talent is the result. Mismanagement. Is there just one coach to the players that can show them how to create offensive rhythm and hence more scoring opportunities? Have you seen the Manchester United offense?Continue reading “An End to the Madness”
Fair Fight
I was hooked watching some inane vid clip showing someone, I assumed to be Southeast Asian, and he was pouring what looked like kerosene on a net and then he lowered the net gently into the river. Immediately, he jerked his net upwards, and the damn thing was full of fish of varying sizes. WhatContinue reading “Fair Fight”
Get Real
When we left our lovely home in Phoenix to be closer to Karen’s family, I was looking for my own little Mayberry to move to. I wanted the whole mom and pop thing, the small town feel, and when we were searching for our new home, we came upon the “main street” of this smallContinue reading “Get Real”
Just a Hug
Sometimes the human touch, the connection made between two members of the species, is the answer. I have spoken of a mysterious young girl that lived across the street from my condo in North Las Vegas in the early eighties. I suspected she was in an abusive situation, but I had no concrete evidence. OneContinue reading “Just a Hug”
Never Ever Ever Apologize!
Unless you screw something up and you have to. Israel isn’t apologizing for anything After all, it wasn’t their citizens hang gliding down on a group of all those innocent, honest Hamas people we hear so much about, shooting automatic rifles indiscriminately. And the definition of insanity? History has provided you with the 6-day War,Continue reading “Never Ever Ever Apologize!”
