Put it right up there with heroin, oxycodone, and alcohol. Addicting and sometimes even fatal as Princess Diana found. It turns nobodies into nobodies who think they are somebody. Pitiful. I am not exactly sure when this infatuation with being noticed actually began, but it has to be close to the time of the adventContinue reading “Fame”

God Was Listening
When he heard that the western United States, especially California, was drying up. Like a dog with six teats for eight puppies, there was something about too much consumption and a dwindling supply. The Colorado River, so vital to the water supply for California is shrinking. Not just there. Lake Meade, a place I drankContinue reading “God Was Listening”
Nice To See
The highest court in the land decide against those thieving losers in Delaware (the owners and operators of MoneyGram) that decided unilaterally, mind you, that they would appropriate hundreds of millions of dollars that they had no claim to. Since money, greed, and avarice are the only things these criminals understand, I hope they tackContinue reading “Nice To See”
Second Thoughts?
Evidently this whacky English woman had second thoughts. Infatuated with serial killers, she stabbed her on again-off again boyfriend nineteen times, making it a pretty obvious sign of the status of their relationship. Off again (permanently). This is one right out of Maddogg’s dating playbook. If you ever enter a woman’s bedroom and there areContinue reading “Second Thoughts?”
Close Calls
From the day I was introduced to the game of chess by my stepfather, I was already past child prodigy age, I think around 1965, it took me seven years to tip the final piece in victory. Of course, I can’t remember anything else, but I remember that day. It was December 23, 1972, andContinue reading “Close Calls”
The Beginning or the Beginning of the End?
Xi Jinping is sticking his nose where it has no business being again. He is making a peace proposal for the Russian-Ukraine conflict. I am not sure exactly what the details of the Chinaman’s proposal are, but unless they include a complete Russian withdrawal to the borders present one year ago, president Z won’t beContinue reading “The Beginning or the Beginning of the End?”
Raise Your Hand
-If you are sick and tired of kids attacking those charged with trying to make those imbeciles smarter. I say why bother? 17 years on this planet or even one-year in a tough high school qualifies you to be tried as an adult. I don’t want to hear the bleeding hearts talk about a childContinue reading “Raise Your Hand”
I Take it All Back
My mad editing skills. You can’t see it, but I am in my Marchus Rashford #10 shirt for the Big Match. I wrote a blog about loyalty over a year ago, and I should have listened to myself, if that is even possible. I was questioning my favorite football club, the Manchester United Red Devils.Continue reading “I Take it All Back”
A Flock of Sparrows
Oh, I would like to think that we were eagles soaring high and free, but we were not. I speak very fondly of the time I spent traveling the country with my dog Chopper in an old ’65 Ford pickup I bought off my brother. It started out as just myself and my German ShorthairedContinue reading “A Flock of Sparrows”
News Bites
I am suffering an embarrassment of riches in the political arena and its cast of characters. I will say, however, it was refreshing to see, after a year of denying any direct involvement, that the USA is not “part of” the Ukrainian-Russian war, that Jojo finally came out and pledged US support “as long asContinue reading “News Bites”
