I think I have made it abundantly clear where I stand on politics. I don’t. I don’t give a damn about anything so fervently that it dictates my course of action, unless you count protecting your family. When I unavoidably see a few stories, they seem to be focused on what a shitty job Jo-JoContinue reading “Afterthoughts”

Stray Thoughts
A rather beautiful sunny day in southern Ohio, albeit cold and the bountiful trees reduced to an eerie forest of gray skeletons. I see my home state of California is now under an official Tsunami Advisory. When you combine a disaster of epic proportions with the most populous state in the United States, well, itContinue reading “Stray Thoughts”
Sayonara 2021
As promised, my review of the world haps in 2021 will resume with the month of May. I remember the news in June centered domestically on the condos in Surfside, Florida that collapsed. The human loss was 98 people. Horrible. And let’s not forget the shootings in Colorado Springs and Chicago and don’t forget SanContinue reading “Sayonara 2021”
Disagreement
At what point did disagreement cease to exist without threats, ill will, and violence entering the picture? I must have missed something. This topic for tonight’s blog (I really like to post at 12:01 am EST for consistency’s sake) came about because I was at a Christmas party and I will estimate the total guestContinue reading “Disagreement”
Letting Go
I don’t care what anybody says, the door was big enough for Rose to balance herself and let Jack get on, saving his life, but ruining a great movie, n’est-ce pas? What happened to “I won’t let go Jack?” Letting go can reference acceptance of a loss or just letting it all hang out. HowContinue reading “Letting Go”
Maddogg’s Musings
Just taking a quick peek at planet Earth on this fine 15th of December. It doesn’t exactly give me a case of the warm fuzzies to see Chinese President Xi Jinping starting to open a positive line of communication with Soviet President Vladimir Putin. Just makes me nervous. Call me crazy. Back in the dayContinue reading “Maddogg’s Musings”
Insects
I don’t care for them. Yes I know that insects serve a very important role in the evolution of our planet, but I still don’t like them. Biting and stinging insects are the worst. I had nightmares when I was a kid from the movie Day of the Locusts. The crunching sounds made by peopleContinue reading “Insects”
What’s Going On
I see a man and his son were arrested for suspicion of starting the Caldor Fire in northern California earlier this year. Without even knowing any of the facts, my knee-jerk reaction is to vilify the suspects and wish them a spot in the middle of the fire they started with no way out. ButContinue reading “What’s Going On”
Cannibalism
Here’s a real Up with Life moment. The painters started today and they are good. Fast, clean, and efficient. I sat in the living room and turned on the telly to kill some time. I put on the headphones and treated myself to the documentary Cannibal Island. Based on one of the most horrifying crimesContinue reading “Cannibalism”
Law and Disorder
I am one who does not use this blog to influence anyone or air my own political beliefs. There is enough divisiveness in this country already. I like to have fun with this medium and share some cool stories and observances. I purposely stay away from making this a political forum. I can’t help butContinue reading “Law and Disorder”
