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

  • 8/26

    Odd day. I woke up this morning with every intention of chasing doxy (I need 29 more) and going to the gym. I was going to leave at 5am and knew, somehow, that I’d make my doxy quota because a new event is starting tomorrow.   It’ll be near impossible to farm them for a week. … Read more

  • Nuisance Update

    I’m sad to report that the little rogue kitten, Nuisance, has taken a trip to join the rest of his family on a farm. While not completely tamed, Nuisance was getting to where he was starting to trust people, liked for his belly to be scratched, and even got to where he’d purr on people’s… Read more

  • Celebrity …. miscommunication

    If you’re keeping up with me at all, you probably have the correct feeling that I don’t place a whole lot of faith in the media, social media, uncredited sources, non-authority figures, or even authority figures. Yep.  I pretty much live under the assumption that everyone is lying, miscommunicating (willfully or otherwise), don’t care enough… Read more

  • American Factory – Netflix

    I spent an hour and a half of my life watching this because of two reasons: — I thought Brack and Michelle (or is it Michelle and Barack?) Obama would be in it in some way — which they weren’t.   Their names weren’t even in the opening credits.   It seems the Obamas have branched away… Read more

  • Notre Dame – Our Lady of Pieces

    A couple of lifetimes ago, I had the privilege of visiting Europe on a two-week tour.   It was the summer after my high school junior year.  This was just a year before I knew I was going to become part cyborg.  I was a different me and it was a different time. I worked in… Read more

  • Example of Hypocrisy

    Hypocrisy is a big word as takes four syllables.   I think that’s four hy-poc-ri-sy… Yep…  four and I think it’s a word we’ve kind have lost or warped the meaning. We all subscribe to it to some degree. It’s like leaving a generous tip at a pricy restaurant and ignoring the panhandler outside. It’s like… Read more

  • Throat punched at Marengo Cave

    How’s that for a clickbait title?   =) I wasn’t throat punched at the cave.  As far as I remember, I’ve never been throat punched, thank goodness, but at times it has felt like it and left a hurtful dull bruise that lasts… well, it lasts for a really long time. Backtracking a little… I can’t… Read more

  • Meet Nuisance

    Jason and I kind of have a history with Nuisance. We returned home one night and saw a crying shadow in mom’s animal trap.  I was a bit surprised.  We knew it was out there, but it played with the trap and mom’s nerves.   It would play on top of the trap.   It would play… Read more

  • 8/16

    Sixth day in a row….  Yay! See, this is the kind of life I’d like.   I spend part of the day exercising or doing whatever.    The other part is writing about stuff and faffing around.    In this case, watching a couple of episodes of Zero Punctuation.   Especially the writing part.    If I… Read more

  • Rambling – Jeffrey Epstein

    When I first heard of Mr. Epstein’s death, I didn’t believe it. If he was truly well connected to Gates, Clintons, Musk, and various foreign royalty, there is no way someone would kill him. The guy just knows too much. But, beyond that, he could possibly represent a wealth of information that would be exceedingly… Read more
