Gone But Not Forgotten…

I hope you didn’t forget me, but I have been swamped putting together and pulling off a charity benefit adoption event and concert for the local Humane Society. It was not a piece of cake. Unforseen circumstances, as in a death in the family and the absolute worst thing a committed performer can do: no-call,Continue reading “Gone But Not Forgotten…”

How Bad? Puhleeze

How bad do you think you have it in this country? Bad enough to climb on to the rudder of an oceangoing vessel to points unknown? Two Nigerians did just that to escape the poverty and injustices in their homeland. So shut the fuck up and appreciate what you have. With the Domestic Despot staunchlyContinue reading “How Bad? Puhleeze”

Why Bother?

Why do we go the extra mile, above and beyond, and exceed expectations? Overemphasis on winning, or in my own case, hatred of losing? Now I am discounting the J. Pierpont Finches of the business world. You know them. The guys (or gals) that can’t find their ass with both hands, do mediocre work (atContinue reading “Why Bother?”

Good Boy

If you don’t think that my state is white, even the dogs don’t like blacks. Ask the truck driver that was pulled over who ended up as a meal for the K-9 police officer. If you got a chance to watch the video, I could not make out the audio very good, but it lookedContinue reading “Good Boy”

Happenings

They are putting up a two-billion dollar amusement park amid all the hustle and bustle of northeast Oklahoma, just off Route 66. Over by that old steer skull. Talk about setting yourself up for failure. Imagine jumping on a plane, exotic locales and lush tropical gardens dancing through your head as you lay back toContinue reading “Happenings”

Odds and Ends

In 2019 a guy in Texas shoots and kills twenty-three people at a Walmart. Four years later, justice, and I use that term very loosely, is meted out. For the domestic terorrist act which was also enhanced by the hate crime designation, the person, and I use THAT term very loosely, was given ninety, countContinue reading “Odds and Ends”

Don’t Ya Just Hate it When…

People use their “platform” to shove their beliefs, be they from the religious, business, or political arena, IN YOUR FACE? Ben and Jerry shut the fuck up about politics. You are ice cream makers. Why do people feel cheated if you merely listen to whatever horseshit viewpoint they have? What? You don’t AGREE with me?Continue reading “Don’t Ya Just Hate it When…”

Alright ‘Fess Up!

Whose is it? Who left their blow on the tabletop in the White House? I know you can eliminate me from the list of potential suspects. I will and have lost my glasses, my driver’s licese, my passport, my car keys, my house keys, my wallet, you name it, I’ve lost it. I even lostContinue reading “Alright ‘Fess Up!”

Just Don’t

Sage advice indeed. When you see a small animal in the wild in need of help, you naturally want to pick them up and hold them in a sign of affection. Just don’t. You have taken them away from their natural family and ensured they will never again be able to live free like theyContinue reading “Just Don’t”

Independence Day

Not just a classic fun adventure movie, but our national holiday commemorating all the things this country once did and believed in, oh yeah, and an extra day off from work. I grew up part of my life on military bases, so patriotism was effortless exercise and especially when you are stationed overseas because thereContinue reading “Independence Day”
