I saw a story about the things you need to be doing to improve your short and long term memory and I guess my own personal recipe differs somewhat. The first thing they offer is chunking, or basically attaching significance to small groups of information to use as building blocks. The first thing I offerContinue reading “The Way I See It”

Once Again I Was Right
Too much, too soon. America, in it’s zeal to stand up on a soap box, beat its chest, and proclaim: “We are inclusive, open-minded, and the United States of America embraces everyone and everything under the sun,” blah, blah, blah… Really? With identity such a hot topic, I hear hate speech every day it seems.Continue reading “Once Again I Was Right”
What Did You Expect?
That goofball Kevin McCarthy, the ersatz Speaker of the House, is fucking up again. After the biggest joke of EIGHT different elections to get elected, he is being laughed at by his political peers and evidently, has as much grasp of legislation as do my two Cocker Spaniels Bruiser and Murphy. They are dogs (don’tContinue reading “What Did You Expect?”
OOPS!
Mr. I-am-sending-a rocket-into-space-just-because-I-can Elon Musk once again looked like a horse’s ass when his much-ballyhooed marvel of technology blew up minutes after being launched out into the mist. His Starship, er, Sinkship is being fished out of the Atlantic Ocean. People are wondering “why isn’t NASA doing these space forays? Why is a private companyContinue reading “OOPS!”
More of Mark’s Musings
So that dumbass crook Clarence Thomas still has his nice house, millions of grafted dollars, and he sits on the Highest Court in the Land. Give me a fucking break. Lying, cheating, money-grubbing worm of a man and he sits on the Highest Court in the Land. What the hell is wrong with this country?Continue reading “More of Mark’s Musings”
Post #800!
I woke up this morning with the worst throat cold ever, but I couldn’t blow off practice, so I showed up anyway. Just my (our) luck. I have been madly, vainly, searching for a drummer to hook up with us and complete the band. So not one, or two, but three potential drummer-bandmates have askedContinue reading “Post #800!”
You Can’t Make This Stuff Up
A former president of the United States being charged and indicted for a series of crimes he was found guilty for. It might just be me, but I can’t help but feel that his candidacy for president is lacking the mad approval ratings and popular groundswell he enjoyed in 2016. That, and the fact thereContinue reading “You Can’t Make This Stuff Up”
Fool Me Once
You know the rest of the saying… It’s about learning from your mistakes, and the time, if ever, that it takes to turn a mistake into a learning lesson. The truth of the matter is that some people never learn. Call it a learning disability in the most clinical sense, but the undeniable fact ofContinue reading “Fool Me Once”
Act Like You’ve Been There
I’m really getting tired of the Blue news and how the different newscasters carry that same smug nod-nod-wink-wink salacious bullshit attitude as if they had anything to do with anything. Instead of mobilizing to accomplish something of merit, they are content to keep fanning the flames of revolution. The thing is, there aren’t enough peopleContinue reading “Act Like You’ve Been There”
Pot Shots
Everyone is down on anything that they don’t agree with, or don’t understand. I miss the days where people were not such attention-craving assholes. You don’t have to look very far to find the source. Social media. I don’t give two shits what you had for lunch, so don’t take a picture of it. IContinue reading “Pot Shots”
