WARNING: Masseys/Stoneberry/Mason Easy-Pay/k. Jordon/Fifth Glam

Well boys and girls, here’s another online company to beware of. I’m going to end up paying $17 for my hard lesson and I have no merchandise to show for it. Let me save you from making the same mistake. I ordered a thermal shirt, and a sweater coat. When the “thermal” shirt arrived, I’m…

Imagine a little notification beep from your phone here

Because I rather enjoyed it, I am going to adopt a form of blogging here where I put together a half dozen or so random subjects/titles and blog daily until they’re done. Then take a little break – like maybe a week – and do it again. I’m enjoying this. I get time to think,…

Please give me ten minutes today

Once upon a time I thought the U.S.A. was a democracy and what we the people did and thought mattered. I’ve pretty well shrugged all that off. But there is one last issue I cannot let go of because it’s just too much a part of my heart. Grant me ten minutes of your day…

The Summing Up and Conclusion

So just about a week ago I wrote the post, I am Still Alive where in I gave myself a bit of a personal challenge with a random post title creator thingie. I not only managed all five posts, but squeezed in an extra because I think Saturday morning cartoons just begs for their own…

This Weeks Top Stories About Nature

Gaming Explained in Fewer than 140 Characters

I’ve been kidding that I’m writing a haiku for my blog post today. But I did. Well, the Wikipedia entry says since I’m writing in English I can call just about any short poem that mentions a season or nature and has a break a haiku. So here it is. The sun pounds asphalt brutal…

Best of Saturday Morning Cartoons – The Could Be The Start of Something Beautiful

I am not eating fruit. I am eating Lucky Charms and it gave me a story idea. BUT FIRST… (To let you in on the family joke there – it’s a running joke that I was going to do A, B, and C today but FIRST I have to do Aa. Oh, and I need…

The Next Big Thing In Anime

I could not possibly be any less qualified in my own mind for writing this. Just so you know. Now, I’m sitting down with my second screwdriver of the evening and I’m going to write it anyway. I don’t really consider myself an anime reviewer. I am a fan, but I think I came late…

Will Healing Ever Rule The World?

?????? My brain cannot parse this title. Maybe it’s the heat. It’s 110F outside at noon. Yesterday it was 114 at 5 pm outside, and 104 inside. Our 5000 BTU GE air conditioner, 4 years old, gave up. Poor thing. It never signed up for Nevada. I tried replacing it last year. I bought this…

Life: Expectations vs. Reality

Most any cop can tell you that the space between expectations and reality is where crime is created. If a child is raised expecting to live well and is thrust into a world that does not give them opportunities, sometimes crime is the result. If one person in a relationship expects one type of behaviour…
