  • Girlfriend’s Review – DK Bananza (Switch 2)

    Because I’m in the land of make-believe right now… or at least for the moment… I feel myself drawn to actually writing a review. I used to write reviews for games, books, and movies all the time. Back with the Eclipse was a thing. So, I’ll give this a shot. The boyfriend’s current game is Read more

  • 10/9 – Coke owes us.

    I learned a little tidbit of information yesterday. Do you know those Coke Freestyle machines?The ones that allow you to add whatever base and syrup you want to your paper cup? There’s the freedom to come up with flavor combinations that can’t be found on the open market. So, you could have Dr. Pepper Orange Read more

  • 9/17

    This feels like a long week. There’s been Charlie Kirk’s ongoing saga. I keep seeing the same themes that played out over George Floyd. Anyone who spoke against the narrative were deemed a social outcast – or worse. He became a symbol that sold t-shirts, cheap China crap, and became symbolic of a national ideological Read more

  • 5/21

    Well, John from CenterS gave me an assignment. Since he actually read some of my blog posts and took notes (!!), I thought I’d work on this. My assignment was to come up with ten songs that influenced or are important to me. In thinking, I’ve come up with a lot of honorable mentions but Read more

  • “Am I Racist?” Quick Review

    Jason actually wanted to see a movie. Normally, I want to go and he doesn’t. So, we don’t. But he wanted to see this one and I was curious and we did. I’m glad we did. There are bloggers and reviews that will point out how controversial, good, had, or honest it is. I’m not Read more

  • 10/20 – Biden examination

    Is the election over yet? If I hold my breath and cross my eyes, will all of this political nonsense be over? I mean, come on. Everything that’s going on just shows America’s slimy underbelly. It’s just pathetic. Not just the politics, but the attitude of Americans. Trump is infected with Covid. Thousands wish him Read more

  • 7/22

    From the local paper  –  Dated July 18, 2020. Stick with me here. I’m looking at word choice, not content. INDIANAPOLIS Two men were charged Friday in an assault on a Black man during which someone threatened to ‘get a noose’ after claiming… . In a typical newspaper style, the sentence is like two paragraphs Read more

  • 7/7

    A Letter on Justice and Open Debate This article is kind of funny. From what I can make out from it — as writers like to use a lot of big words, especially when they’re together, these people are feeling that the liberal arts are being threatened. This would include writers, journalists, and artists of Read more

  • 6/1

    A long long long time ago, I came across this Chinese curse: May you live in interesting times from the introduction of a Terry Pratchett book.  I forget which one.    I think it was one of the novels about the indestructible Sam Vimes.  But, I could be wrong.   It’s been years and I had Read more

  • 4/23 – Mia Land O Lakes.

    RIP Mia – Land O Lakes icon. I knew it was going to happen. Actually, it took a lot longer than I thought. After the Washington Redskin icon protest from a couple of years ago, I thought there would be some sort of revolution to rid society of culturally (and maybe gender based) advertisement icons.
