Bone spurs. His dad paid a doctor to falsely diagnose, treat, and document his “medical condition” so he wouldn’t have to serve in the armed forces. That must be why he’s so upset that he wasn’t awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor like all the other of our nations real military heroes, many of whomContinue reading “A Trampoline Can Be Dangerous”

Belief
Never underestimate the power of belief. Belief can overcome a lot of things. It can overpower strength. It can outrun speed. It can outperform talent. In the micro it is but a flash in the thought process, but in the macro, it divides, conquers, and kills. Religions are based on belief. Governments are based onContinue reading “Belief”
Don’t Be a Buzzkill
Great, we can now see crystal-clear images of the icy mountains on Mars. Who gives a rat’s ass? So where is Malaysian airliner MH370? Or the two-hundred-thirty-nine souls on board? So, if all the billionaires in the world are building doomsday survival shelters, what if the Big One actually happens and the only survivors areContinue reading “Don’t Be a Buzzkill”
Keep it Coming
A Physician’s Assistant in Atlanta was asked to leave a women’s basketball game and she refused. That could have been the end of a very short story until… The woman (dumbass) refuses to leave the premises until police are called in for criminal trespass. She offers her captors a bribe. She increases the offer. TheyContinue reading “Keep it Coming”
Funny Bone
Why all the hate between late-night talk show hosts and the president and his policies and tactics? It used to be, not that long ago, that comics joked and made wisecracks, we laughed, thought how clever, and moved on. What happened to that? These are just highly paid entertainers that started amusing us starting inContinue reading “Funny Bone”
Like I Never Left
Back to viewing the world through my highly-distorted lens macabre. Man, what a world we live in. And nobody makes it out alive… Watching the great tennis on display at the U.S. Open is one of my favorite sporting events of the year. In the heat of battle, after losing to fleshy American Taylor Townsend,Continue reading “Like I Never Left”
I Plead the Fourth
I’m back in sports heaven now that college football games and English Premier League football matches have resumed, so I continue my posting of songs I have recorded and/or written. I will resume writing in the more conventional way after Monday night’s TCU vs North Carolina game. Four straight days of music, this time allContinue reading “I Plead the Fourth”
Always the Last to Know
John Cena had a good run. But like all good things… Now that he is hand-stitching his hair to his scalp, it’s time to call it a day, Champ. He says his body is screaming at him to retire. I hope he listens to it. Every so often Florida screws up and does something right…Continue reading “Always the Last to Know”
Tennessee
I have a great affinity for the state, as I spent a summer in Lebanon, just forty miles west of Nashville, training to be a Cracker Barrel manager. I fell in love with the miles of greenery, very unlike Phoenix, Arizona where I joined the company. Great golf and awesome fishing are two takeaways fromContinue reading “Tennessee”
Welcome to the Jungle
It looks like we have run out of third-world countries to send our deportees to, so what to do? Not to worry. We will send them to the next best thing….Indiana. Remember when steroids used to be an everyday news story? I was never good, big, or fast enough of a football player to entertainContinue reading “Welcome to the Jungle”
