  • Not So Worthless…

    Generally, I think sports are pretty worthless.  Unless you’re really, really good (freak of nature good), you won’t make any money at it.  It is a complete waste of time watching (although I am guilty of that).  My son plays football, and it is now football season.  I’m not fond of wasting tons of gas…

  • I Do Not Care About Your Opinions…

    I really do not care about your opinions.  That does not mean I do not respect your input or the fact you have an opinion.  In fact, I am grateful you can think for yourself, assuming that is what you are doing.  What I do not want is to hear your opinions in an endless…

  • Hurry Up and Wait

    I hate hurrying just to wait.  It seems like everything is like that.  Hurry through traffic just to wait in line at the BMV.  Hurry through school just to wait trying to find a job.  Hurry to buy a car because I really want (or need) it and wait hours while someone fills out three large…

  • Doing Too Much… ???

    Sometimes, I wonder if I am doing too much.  Although the second book is written, editing needs done, the cover needs designed, Copyrights officially submitted, and about a half dozen other things before I call it done.  I also have a full time job that is a little more than full time.  I am raising…

  • Book Written

    The Event: The Amanai Deception has been written.  Now comes the ever-so-fun task of editing.  No one likes making mistakes.  This is the part where I am showing I have made many more mistakes that I could even have thought possible.  There are some chapters I expect that.  After a glass of wine or moonshine (as I…

  • Defenseless

    Why are people so willing to be defenseless?  I always take the approach of being aware of my surroundings.  I watch the way people move.  I look for actions or looks that are out of the ordinary for typical life.  I also (almost always) carry a weapon of some sort on me.  It could be…

  • 17-23 and Magnetic Poles

    Chapters 17-23 are written.  I’ve been on a writing spree lately.  I’m not sure why, but I am a bit anxious to get the book done.  The beginning of the process is filled with excitement and happiness.  By the time this last quarter or so comes around, my fingers hurt, and I really wish the…

  • Happy Birthday America!

    Instead of writing some thought-provoking blurb, I will just wish everyone a Happy 4th here in America.  Regardless of how everyone’s 4th went, this is still the greatest country in the world, and we are still the freest.  I’ll hold up my glass of Apple Pie and wish everyone a safe holiday weekend.

  • Conflict Happens

    Some people thrive on conflict.  I do not; however, I do not run away from it either.  I know people who, when conflict is inevitable, hide and want nothing to do with resolving it.  Not dealing with it is resolution for them.  I will aggressively go after a resolution.  There is nothing wrong with two…

  • I’m Struggling Today…

    Lazy people should be tied together and thrown in a volcano.  They are a blight on society and pretty much worthless.  Is that an extreme view that should never be followed?  Probably, but that does not make lazy people any less worthless.  For the record, people should not throw other people into volcanoes.  What really…
