Perfectionists. I am one. Sometimes. Often confused with obsessive-compulsive behavior, there are several schools of thought that address it. One is the idealist, the person who actually believes perfection is possible. The other school posits that perfection is not possible. Of the two, the former is way more palatable to me because at bare minimum,Continue reading “Getting it Just Right”

Life Goes On
Or does it? I’m thumbing through the digital news and nowhere near the headlines, tucked under a “New and Used Cars” advertisement way down the page, was a story that matter-of-factly reported that Ukraine is bracing for a nuclear attack. WTF? Am I the only person on the planet that sees this as a preludeContinue reading “Life Goes On”
The Latest
What the hell is it with everyone taking plane videos of rude or unruly passengers when they are travelling? Watch the movie. Nap. If someone is being a real asshole and threatening to disrupt my itinerary, then you have my blessing to throw them out of the plane when it climbs to 10,000 feet. SoContinue reading “The Latest”
Wacky World
A British teacher had an affair with his student, married her, and had two children with her. So what was his punishment for what in America might be considered felony charges? Well, he faced no jail time. He paid no fines. His name was removed from the Teaching Registry. Ouch. Hard cheese. His ass wouldContinue reading “Wacky World”
Oh Brother!
Are you fucking kidding me? Psilocybin mushrooms temporarily cure depression. No shit. It took what, a half a century and probably millions, if not hundreds of millions of dollars, and the best your scientific minds could come up with is that mushrooms temporarily cure depression? All you would have had to do, to spare yourselfContinue reading “Oh Brother!”
Playing Out
It is truly one of the most fun things in all the world, so I packed up my guitar and headed north to Dayton to the Dublin Pub. Very cool place and I knew the host, a local player who is a very cool dude and great player. It turns out I knew three orContinue reading “Playing Out”
News Makers
Used to be the news stations would report the news. Then came the insidious VNR’s and the news was now not what it is, but what the news stations want you to think it is. Colored by whatever political affiliations and agendas, news is now identified as “red” or “blue.” Either way, a load ofContinue reading “News Makers”
Selling Life
By now, the secret’s out. T-cells. It appears to be the single greatest medical discovery in decades, and I just saw the story that made its way to Sunday Morning on CBS. What really stood out to me in the story was the parents’ fierce determination to try anything and everything possible to save theirContinue reading “Selling Life”
Easy Does It
Some douchebag breaks into Nancy Pelosi’s San Francisco home and attacks her husband Paul in her absence. The dumbass was looking and shouting for, Nancy Pelosi. He’d better be careful what he asks for. My girl Nancy is liable to beat his ass. She already called out Donald Trump saying she wanted “to punch himContinue reading “Easy Does It”
Words You Can’t Take Back
Any promise you make. “I do.” Basically, anything that comes out of your yap is a representation of sorts, of your make-up, your center. You. Politicians live and die by words they say. Nothing is hidden. When a politician is exposed, they are forever branded as the lying assholes that we always knew they wereContinue reading “Words You Can’t Take Back”
