I love competition. I love excellent performance in ANY field of endeavor. I look on with the same sense of awe and wonder at a Super Bowl trophy as I do a perfect 10.0 at a Women’s gymnastics meet. Or watching a master landscaper do their thing to a yard, leaving it and the worldContinue reading “The Skinny”

Can’t Win ‘em All
Venezuelans are still smiling today in the afterglow of their awesome victory over the United States in the World Baseball Classic. This game marks the second straight WBC where the USA was defeated in the championship game. That’s right. The Japanese did it last time with the best player on the planet, Japan’s Shohei OhtaniContinue reading “Can’t Win ‘em All”
G’day!
When members of the media get bored, they start picking on people and things just to fill word counts. Now, chubby little Selena Gomez is their target. So she has a cerveza-belly and a lot of cherubim fat on her body. Thunder thighs. Big deal. She’s in her thirties. Happens to all of us. It’sContinue reading “G’day!”
Ready…Get Set…
Another chink in the armor… The brilliant scholars at Harvard University, considered (by themselves) to be the highest echelon of higher learning on Planet Earth, look like a bunch of blowhard dumbasses (again) because they had an ORIGINAL Magna Carta mistakenly identified as a replica just hanging around and not one of these self-called geniusesContinue reading “Ready…Get Set…”
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”
Why Bother?
It looks like the First Lady is not quite the popular draw she thought she’d be after releasing her self-titled 75-million-dollar-box-office BOMB. It doesn’t help that she has the personality of a grapefruit. But she does have six-inch stilettos. This is rich. The president is blaming his recent dip in popularity in polls on “badContinue reading “Why Bother?”
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”
If I’ve Told You Once…
Hey Meta! Hey dumbass! STFU and quit having an artificial entity run your life. Think for yourself! It’s tough enough living in America today, but can you imagine how nice it must be to be an American citizen in Venezuela right now? Talk about persona non grata. The whole transgenders-in-sports debate is back in theContinue reading “If I’ve Told You Once…”
Playoffs?
Playoffs?! Playoffs?! Playoffs?!!! Yes, they are inching closer… Excruciatingly slow for college football fans and even more slowly if your team or teams is/are still in contention for one of the coveted 12 available spots. There are very few certainties anymore in the college football world where champions are bought and sold like prized cattleContinue reading “Playoffs?”
The Letter “Z”
Finishing with audio segments of my book EMOTIONS: Not your Mama’s ABC’s! We come to the letter Z. I chose the emotion zealous to be highlighted by my short-short story titled Halftime. Hope you like it. If you missed any of the posts, I think they are still on this site archived somewhere. Again, IContinue reading “The Letter “Z””
