Yesterday, I ran across a simple article discussing a “movement,” as they described it, involving people living on less. To be more specific, they are trying to de-clutter their lives to less than 100 possessions. They cited a few advantages for living this way: helping the environment by consuming less, de-cluttered living is less stressful, […]

No new made up word for today. I am writing today about a decision handed down by our Supreme Court. The decision, by 5-4, states that the death penalty (capital punishment) cannot be a valid punishment for a child rapist. We have lots to talk about and I am going to cite some information from […]

It’s movie review time. Tonight, my wife and I watched “Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins.” It was a fairly entertaining movie with quite a few “laugh out loud” moments. I was happy with the time spent (2 hours) because it only cost me $1.08 to rent from the local McDonald’s RedBox. If I haven’t mentioned it […]

The particular subject I am writing about today has come up in several conversations I’ve had through the years since my college years. I want to talk about failure teaching at the highest level of collegiate academics. Thus, I have coined the phrase Failademics. I don’t know how many college educated readers are here or […]

Today’s article is a spontaneous article. I only have a topic in my mind to write about and the rest will come through mind and out to my fingertips. Take this journey with me as I proceed through a simple set of thoughts and let’s see where we end up. No, we are not talking […]

Today, I’m going to take on a difficult subject. Well, it’s not really difficult, but I guess we can call it a polarizing subject. People are rarely situated in the middle of this topic as they are either adamantly for it or unabashedly against it. From the article topic, I’m sure you know what I’m […]

If you read yesterday’s article, I talked about superstition and how it fits into sports and also our everyday lives. I mentioned how stupidstition, as I like to call it, is usually just a metaphor for failure. There are other times where superstition and the stupid practice of it are the results from something other […]

Now that you are all adequately caught up on my affinity for sports, I’ve decided to give you some more reading entertainment regarding sporting activities. As you can see from today’s title, it’s stupid superstition. Superstition in sports, no way right! Even the least informed sports watcher or aficionado knows all about the superstitions when […]

I’m not sure if you all know, but I have always been a sports fan. I enjoy most sports because I enjoy the heat of competition. Over the years of my life, I have spent countless hours playing basketball, baseball, softball, and bowling just to name a few of the activities. Sports used to be […]
