Who doesn’t like a good revenge movie? The first big one I recall was Death Wish with Charles Bronson. He had a great run with the Paul Kersey character, more than getting even with wave after wave of evildoers in various cities. And he was not just getting even, he was devastating anyone who hadContinue reading “Revenge”

Whether or not you were raised in a household where religion played a big part of your life or not, with SO many people on the planet showing faith in differing deities, why so vast a spectrum of faith (belief)? The concept in an all-powerful entity controlling, or at least affecting, things on Earth, seemsContinue reading “The Existence of God?”

Acting, aka “make-believe,” is easy, right? Anyone can do it. When you think about it, EVERYONE is an actor in this one-act play we call life. Not so fast… My own flirtation with this art form came when I took an acting class at UCSB in the summer of 1985. After weeks of study, recitation,Continue reading “Acting”

          OK, the election is over despite the tantrums still being thrown by the Petulant One. When the smoke cleared, the recount insisted upon actually increased the lead Biden’s team won by. Careful what you ask for. So where does that leave us with The Wall? One of the focal points of Trump’s election inContinue reading “The Wall”

I despise ugly people. You see them every day in every walk of life. They are the ones that give a little too long of a look at the interacial couple walking down the street, that see nothing wrong with this country that cannot be fixed with a good ass-whipping given to somebody, anybody, whoContinue reading “Ugly people”

The Great Recess Caper of 1961             A seven-year-old growing up on a U.S. military base in Japan, I was full of all of the typical questions that run through a typical seven-year-old’s mind. Like “what if me and my buddy Stevie could devise a plan to get all of our classmates’ valuables: gum, candy,Continue reading “Master Plan”

One of the best things I like about this blogging thing is that, as long as I don’t misspell anything and look like a dumb shit, I can pretty much write about anything I want. I worked in industries that required the constant exercise of customer service skills at all levels and there are thoseContinue reading “Above and Beyond”

Well, I have to admit, the people of this great nation have surprised me again. Electing Joe Biden as 46th President of our nation hopefully signals a much-needed change. Let’s start with diplomatic decorum. While there certainly is merit in speaking one’s own mind, there is also a time and place (or no place) forContinue reading “Lost (and found) Nation”

Mark’s Musings Blog #1 10/25/20 Red Dawn Theory           The 1984 movie Red Dawn starring Patrick Swayze and his role revived by Chris Hemsworth in 2012, provides the basis for my theory about how we do, and how we should, think. Here’s the situation: You are at work talking to some co-workers and you startContinue reading “Mark’s Musings”

Well, once again in my life I have started something I was so excited about and have not shown any follow-through. I started my blogging career, made a few posts to try this blogging thing out, and then just stopped. But since I am also an obsesso-compulso, I am going to spend today catching upContinue reading “Absolute Laziness”
