Recently, I finished a book I had been reading off and on for a while. “The Economic Naturalist: In Search of Explanations for Everyday Enigmas” by Robert H. Frank provides a simple statement about how we make our choices in our lives. This statement is one in which I have, through the years, tried to […]

I just read an interview with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi over at CNN.com and the content tweaked my internal alternative thinking process. The lead for the story was a statement she made about George Bush being “a total failure.” It is a great sound bite to get your name and story in the headlines during […]

I’m going to write about a product today that I ran across while surfing this morning. It doesn’t appear to be a “brand spanking new” product like the release of the 3G Apple iPhone today, but it seems to have reappeared for whatever reason. I’m even going to throw in an image, how do you […]

Assembly Line Employees

In the article titled “Shortweek,” I brought up a theory about the current state of treatment of employees throughout our country. I stated, “Employee satisfaction and morale usually isn’t the number one thing on management’s minds these days.” While it is a pretty broad statement and there are many people who are being treated very […]

Have you ever driven by a parking lot of a business, restaurant, or house and just taken a look at the cars parked there? Do you make any snap judgments based on what you see? Today, I am going to talk about something I like to call “Parking Lot Pride.” We all like to have […]

Bucket List

by in Movie Reviews | 2,597 views | Reading Time 4:40

I’ve watched several movies since my last review, but none of them intrigued me enough to write an article about them. However, as the article title implies, The Bucket List gave me something worthwhile to write about. As always, I will not give any spoilers or ruin the film experience for anyone who may not […]

Sense of Time

Today’s article just happened to pop up in my mind as I was replying to a comment this morning on the previous posting. I mentioned in my comment a statement that I’ve spent quite a bit of time thinking about in the past, but never wrote anything down on paper. The statement was “if I […]

Today’s topic is going to focus on a very important issue we face in our lives personally and amongst society. Of course, this issue is just one of many we face, but it does permeate through most everything we do in some manner. What I am talking about is selfishness to the point where you […]

Mouthacity

by in Everyday Nonsense | 2,105 views | Reading Time 5:18

I’ll bet you’ve never heard of that one have you! I hope not, or I’m not very original. Mouth of course is our mouth. The remainder of the word is a partial of audacity. Combine them and we have mouthacity. My invented meaning for this particular noun goes as follows. People have always taken the […]

Let’s get another Political Beef started. I’m not sure how much you stay up to date on the latest political propaganda, but this week, a new book was released by a Bush administration member. I’m not going to talk about the book, or who it was about, or what the man has to say in […]
