Every once in a while.. well, more frequently since I’ve had more time… I check on this discussion board. It’s one of those boards that a lot (supposedly) intelligent people post on. Primarily a gaming cite, it covers… everything and of often with excruciating detail about nearly every game imaginable. I mean, this is where… Read more

Buying is a source of power. – It’s something so simple that most tend to take it for granted. Buying milk for the family? That’s power. Being able to pay a bill. That’s power. However, that’s not enough. The ability to buy items to provide the basic and essential needs for ourselves and others isn’t… Read more

I remember watching the very first American broadcast of the first episode. I don’t exactly remember what the episode was about, but remember my impressions of poor acting, shoddy costumes, awful backgrounds, and questionable film editing.

Yesterday, I filed my taxes. Not a big deal. I’ve filed my taxes ever since I was 14 and worked pulling corn tassels in Indiana pioneer fields. For most of those years, I filed myself. It was actually a time to look forward to because I – always – received some kind of financial kickback. … Read more

This term I’m a co-teacher. Okay, this is no big deal. I’ve been a co-teacher before for this particular college. What it’s supposed to amount to is a third of the pay at half of the work. The theory is that, since this is a beginning class of new online learners, that two teachers is… Read more

Okay, so going to the grocery store isn’t a big deal for most people. If anything, given the way the online trend is going, grocery stores are a bit of a hassle. In a generation or so, we’ll simply have everything auto-shipped from Amazon. Or, possibly, everything will be pre-ordered and be delivered drive-thru window… Read more

Okay, you know how when we survive something traumatic. “I’ll never do that again. I’m going to put it behind me.” – I think that’s self-defense. The situation tested our boundaries or caused a potent emotional reaction that we don’t want to feel it, be reminded of it, or experience it ever, ever, ever, again.… Read more

You may or may not know I’m an adjunct. Yes, one of those poor overworked souls who was promised freedom, respect, societal glory, and a firm financial future. – The reality is, of course, far from the promised land.
