I’m Not Broken Anymore

It’s funny how the tides of life sweep you in the direction you need to go sometimes when you just stop fighting it.  My back is still broken – well not really but it’s all jacked up. I do now know what’s going on, and there is a plan.  It’s also forced me into some habit changes I [...]

Questioning Our Leaders

I’ve been noticing an odd phenomena amongst like-minded liberal folks since January 2009.  It’s a total and complete reluctance to question anything President Obama does and then ostracizing those who do.  I don’t really fit with any political party – I’m socially liberal and tend more towards the middle on fiscal issues. I’m not a libertarian. [...]

Hey Pop Tart -Where Ya Been and Whatcha Been Doing?

The title of the post is one of my favorite lines from Sex and the City – said to Carrie by Aiden when they were living together in cramped quarters. I suppose today is as good a day as any to return to my blog. Where have I been and what have I been doing? [...]

Why America Will Be Responsible for Our Own Undoing

Because we elect corrupt, narrow-minded, rich croneyism-ridden politicians from local towns all the way up to the White House that control what goes on here. This is not news to anyone of course. But the exclamation point was put on the sentence for me when I read an article in Wired about Shai Agassi’s plan [...]

My Dog Ate My Seatbelt

It finally happened. After however many months of driving around sans seatbelt, I got pulled over on Saturday. I don’t not wear my seatbelt to be cool or out of laziness. My dog ate it. Bella more specifically ate it. Seriously. That is no joke. It no longer works.  I’m also not one of these [...]

More Search Term Humor

I love the blog stats page. Not because I care about the 19 people that read the blog everyday but because of the search terms random people are putting in search engines that land them here. The usual suspects continue to show up about everyday: terms about all things great pyrenees, joining the military, how much do [...]

Something is in the Air

And it’s not good. I feel very unsettled today - I felt it yesterday too.  I don’t like it when I feel this way because usually it’s a signal that some kind of chaos, craziness or general bad stuff is going to rain down on me and/or people I know.   So it might be a foreshadowing of [...]

I’m Done People

Shame on you mainstream media. Shame. On. You. I am so done with your coverage of the 2008 presidential election and regrettably you are poisoning the majority of voters’ minds with this garbage – voters who won’t take the time to do objective research.  You’d think by the way the media has been handling things that the [...]

Be Afraid…Be Very, Very Afraid

I am my mom’s tech support for her computer. She uses her computer primarily to play games (offline) and email. She has dial-up. There are few if any issues. As of late though, she has been having email issues where the dial-up times out before all the huge email messages can be downloaded into the Outlook Express [...]

Fast Food Nation: Why Did I Watch the Movie?

I read the book when it first came out. Many horrifying revelations – all not surprising but certainly horrifying and troubling – running the gambit from corrupt business owners and politicians to insidious marketing to children to illegal immigrants to exploitation of plant/slaughterhouse workers to the dirty conditions and procedures in the meat packing plants (cows, [...]
