It was only the first official Premier League football match away at Portman Road under the Amorim reign as manager. The Reds were very lucky to escape Southampton with a 1-1 draw, despite scoring in the first two minutes of play. Not until the final ten minutes of play did United revive a dead offenseContinue reading “Great (and not so great) Expectations”

Love/Hate
I love it when I see film reels of people untangling little penguins all the way up to whales from fishermen’s netting. I am a fish lover, but I will stop cold turkey if it will get you dumbasses to quit using the ocean like your personal garbage dump. I hate that. I love itContinue reading “Love/Hate”
It’s Getting Close
Pretty soon, bye-bye political ads. At the least the half-truths and downright lies being espoused by both parties’ candidates. Then we can go about putting our fingers in our ears and sing “la!la!la!” as we listen to their half-truths and downright lies when they take office and ask us to believe them one more time.Continue reading “It’s Getting Close”
Options
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”
What’s the Worst That Could Happen?
After seventy years on this planet, I’m pretty much settled in as a worse-case scenario guy. I want the bad news first. Every four or eight years we resume this “Kill the piggie!” dance, aka our presidential election. What once was a civil transfer of power from one regime pledging to improve our country toContinue reading “What’s the Worst That Could Happen?”
Know When to Say When
No one can ever put a dent in my loyalty to the Manchester United Red Devils, but who, if anyone, will be the one to say, “enough is enough.?” I have watched the team play two matches and they looked like crap in both contests. I have never been a fan of manager Erik TenContinue reading “Know When to Say When”
I Don’t Care…
about our dying democracy; I care for future generations. I don’t give a damn about our crumbling bicameral system; it’s not working. And don’t get me started about the self-centered dumbasses that populate our judicial branch. If you think it’s bad now…… I have maybe a decade left (if I’m lucky), so their favorite dictatorContinue reading “I Don’t Care…”
Can You Just Imagine?
One of the benefits of being a bit off-kilter (a polite way of saying nuttier than Cooter Brown) is that there is a non-stop reel of craziness that runs 24/7 through my gourd. If you doubt my craziness, I just wrote nuttier than Cooter Brown. Truly bad cinema. People that know me have come toContinue reading “Can You Just Imagine?”
1000 Posts…When Will it End?
I don’t care if they are fake. No, not those, get your mind out of the gutter. I am talking about the feel-good stories people post on Facebook. You know the ones I’m talking about: the little injured bird that gets befriended by an iguana, for example. The iguana heals his little feathered newfound friendContinue reading “1000 Posts…When Will it End?”
Freedom of Speech
The first amendment and all that. I have been banned from Facebook because of a story I previously published here on this blog. It was excerpted from my book EMOTIONS: Not your Mama’s ABC’s! Talk about small-minded. I tried to explain to the “Appeal Board” that my words were a creative work of fiction, butContinue reading “Freedom of Speech”
