Don't live the American dream. Live your dream.

    I’ve been feeling pretty odd lately on several different fronts. It’s about time for me to return to Florida, as per Jason and my agreement from February.  I’m supposed to go down there for a couple of months and then both of us head back to Indiana in late July for Gencon and his vacation.… Read more

    Another odd day. Yesterday, I had the full intention of going to the gym, doing homework, and eating a pint of Arctic Zero I bought for myself.   Rather, little sister bought for me at the same time she bought herself B&J’s Cinnamon Bun, which disappeared after two days. I opened my eyes this morning, about… Read more

  • Yes, I did actually see this movie. I was by myself at the local AMC.   I caught the 2:30 showing and was in the right seat in the middle.   I couldn’t get the awesome middle seats because I got there a little late. The theater was about half full with a couple of fanboys behind… Read more

    Saving throw failed. I didn’t see Us today, but I kind of knew I wasn’t going to when I finished the blog yesterday.  But, you know, that’s okay. I’m kind of used to getting my hopes up and then letting myself down.   It’s a tedious process but makes it sweeter when I actually do follow… Read more

    I talked myself out of seeing a movie. I heard that US was a psychological horror flick with tones of anti-socialism and groupthink.  It’s a bit bloody, kind of funny, and would take many viewings to catch the entire meaning. I was going to watch it yesterday but sabotaged myself by staying too long at… Read more

    I have a love/hate relationship with this time of year. I can see the faded green coming back in winter scorched tree bark….. ………. Grrrr… I love spring, okay. Spring is coming, but it hasn’t sprung just yet. It’s trying.   Starts of Easter Lillies are pushing up from the grown.   There’s green.   I see buds… Read more

    Today is the last day of the first week of the March semester. Geez, that sentence just looks weird, doesn’t it? The good thing is that I have a co-teacher to share my ENGL102 misery with.   102 is the next to lowest English class.   It generally involves a lot of hand-holding and really panicked students. … Read more

  • Mrs. Omar, Today, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said that you didn’t understand the weight of the words you say and how they can be interpreted by others. To me, that translated into “Please forgive her.  She knows not what she does.” I have to wonder what that says about the higher educational status in America.… Read more

  • Droopy D. Dog

    As you can imagine, my upbringing really didn’t have a lot of room for frivolities. But, I did have a dog. Actually, I had a dog before I had a baby brother, but the dog was really an accident. The neighbors were grandparents who had two grandchildren – Scotty and Beth.  They adopted two puppies,… Read more

    This is really kind of an odd day. I decided to stay in instead of sneaking out to the gym for four hours. I think it made mom happy.  I tend to never ever ever spend a full day at home  … which is a sever change in my personality that was brought about by… Read more
