The art of being nice.
Being nice. It’s not as hard as it sounds, really. But if you watch people today, many of them would seem like either they do not remember how to, or chose not to be nice to others. Where I see the best examples of this is in the retail arena. Working retail is hard enough, … Read more
Requiem for Buckaroo Banzai
I love a good movie but I tend to be especially enamored with the little known or low budget movies that are out there. Of these, one of my all time favorites has to be Buckaroo Banzai: Across the Eighth Dimension. For those of you who are not familiar with this movie, it follows a … Read more
Rick Santelli is my hero…
Yesterday I heard something great. Something that is what so many of us wanted to say since Chairman / Citizen Obama bought the whitehouse. Rick Santelli, of whom I have only heard bits and pieces about over the last couple years, launched into a tirade on national television. His topic was nothing more than what … Read more
Something funny happened on the way to work…
So… it sounded like a good way to start a piece that I guess I will call my “Jerry Seinfield” piece. It is a piece about, really, nothing. I am sort of without much to comment on at the moment except political fecal matter, and I am really tired of that right at the moment. … Read more

Obama and the military
If there was ever any question about where our new President stands on the military, consider it answered as of 21 Jan (I am writing this on the morning of 22 Jan.) Opting to make appearances at all the balls that had the big names in attendance, where the stars and celebs were going to … Read more
My rage at a father’s betrayal
Rarely will you see me write a piece out of anger, but there is something in the news that has kinda pushed me over the top. If you have recently been watching, reading or listening to the news, then you may have heard something about the recent rash of deaths that have envolved a father … Read more
Are we hostages to our parents dreams?
As we are growing, we are taught by out parents that we need to succeed. That we can be whatever we set our minds and hearts to. That there is nothing that we cannot accomplish if we set our minds to. In fact, at least in my time, parents even told us that we could … Read more
