Sustain Your World

“If someday they say of me that in my work I have contributed something to the welfare and happiness of my fellow man, I shall be satisfied.”
George Westinghouse
I have always perceived the world as a beautiful and troubled place. However, I remain optimistic for our world’s future, and I look to the foundations of my [...]

Dan Carlin

History, Politics and Current Affairs are the topics covered by Dan on his two podcasts.  I came across his commentaries at work.  There a multiple times a week that I have to work on a really monotonous, mind-numbing tasks that would pass slower than an Alaskan winter, if it were not for podcasts.  But, as [...]

Decisions, decisions…

Imagine waking up on summer mornings, the air a crisp 50 degrees.  The suns rays shimmering off of the lightly shaken aspen leaves, the distant sound of, well, nothing. 

Imagine waking up in the fall, those same aspen leaves red, orange, yellow, a sign of the changing season. 

What Not To Do…

In keeping with what seems to be a developing style on this blog, I’ve decided to list seven behaviors which should be avoided at all costs. To be fair, I’ve tried to include a few examples of why these decisions are not the best way of doing things. Still I feel as though [...]

Beautiful Disaster

I have a tan.
Ok it’s more of a burn… and it hurts (a little.) I’m not referring to sunlight exposure but rather the aftermath of not one but two bridges EXPLODING in a magnificent fireball, the likes of which I have not seen in a long time, a long long time….
How? Why? yeah like [...]

The Seven Deadly Sins of Men

So I was sitting down with my girlfriends having a pow-wow about all the things guys do that frustrate us. And surprisingly, we came up with quite a few. Where shall I begin?

The 35 Hour Work Week…probably not coming to a city near you anytime soon

I’ve always been a hard worker.  I attribute it to my upbringing.   If I didn’t get all the weeds the first time then I got an ass whipping, another round of weeding, and another “project”, as my father so endearingly called those weekend projects that occasionally kept me out of neighborhood football games.  So I watched [...]

What’s the fucking point of themicrocosm?

I have been asked this question a dozen times… No come to think of it, more than a dozen times.  Never once have I had an answer that has really been accurate (I’m a good liar, so I get away with saying all sorts of horseshit).  Then I got in an argument with someone over [...]

I’m Getting All Verklempt.

Talk amongst yourselves.
I’ll give you a topic:
Gay Marriage.
Discuss.

Mother’s Day

As the day nears, I realize that it is time to consider the value of mothers.  A national holiday is dedicated to their service as caretakers, confidantes, the last resort, the first resort, nurturers, etc etc.  Without mothers, we would not be here, but that is simple biology.  They carry the fetus in womb and [...]
