Who Cares

There’s a saying that seems to be the basic idea of living these days. It goes a little something like this, “It’s my life and I can do what I want to.” On top of that, there is a growing sentiment amongst our society that everything is ok as long as what you are doing […]

Shots On The House

How excited were you when you turned 21? Are you not there yet and sitting in a state of stupor because of your pent up anticipation of that fateful day when you can take your “first legal drink?” Is turning 21 as important as turning 16, or 13, or 10, or 5? Does age provide […]

Cell phones, we love them, we hate them. They are everywhere. Family plans, text plans, and data plans. Can we go anywhere anymore without the incessant sounds of annoying ring tones, message indicators, and fantastic flashing light displays? The cell phone, or more justly called at this point, the personal data assistant (PDA), has come […]

Satirical Dumbness

by in Political Beefs | 3,106 views | Reading Time 5:06

As always, I began my day yesterday surfing the news and ran across something provocative to write about. The New Yorker magazine published its latest issue with a “satirical” caricature on the front cover. If you haven’t heard or seen it yet, it’s a depiction of Barack Obama with his wife Michelle in an unappealing […]

Duty of a Soldier

Over the weekend, I visited our local Redbox again to pick up some new movies to rent and watch. I picked up the movie “Stop-Loss” and while watching it and discussing the movie with my wife, I thought it would be a perfect movie to write an article about. First off, I want to give […]

Mouthacity Redux

At the end of May, I wrote an article explaining a new term I invented, “mouthacity.” If you haven’t had a chance to read it, I suggest you go check it out. Today’s article is “Part 2” with some of the latest events involving people in the media saying things that should not be said. […]

All-Stars of Life

by in Everyday Nonsense | 2,498 views | Reading Time 4:37

As you know from some of my previous articles, I’m a sports fan. Well, sometimes I would classify myself as a sports nut as I’m sure my wife would concur. Next Tuesday, July 15th, is the Major League Baseball All-Star Game. If you are not familiar with how players are chosen for the game, it […]

I wonder what today’s article is going to be about? Is it about a news story? How about another book or movie review? Maybe it’s something that you’ve never really thought out loud about but have only thought about inside. It could be a thought that has never even entered your mind. What could it […]

Yes, I made up another word. As I’m sure you have figured out, this article will have something to do with golf. Now, I’m not the connoisseur of golf like I know some people out in the world are and I have no problem with that. It is a sport and lots of people truly […]

Manipulatory

by in Everyday Nonsense | 12,605 views | Reading Time 4:29

Yes, that is not a word and I meant for it to be that way. As you might think, I like to do things a little different than the norm. Today’s article is going to be about a commercial my wife brought to my attention. I guess you can say I’ve had a little influence […]
