Just read that John Edwards has dropped out of the presidential race “so that history can blaze its path”. It would have been more fun he said something about “getting ignored because the media is too busy pissing themselves over a black or female candidate”. But I guess that would come off as being a [...]

Damn it feels good to be a gangster, gettin voted into the White House
Published January 31st, 2008 in Life. 0 CommentsAfter a one-post vacation from my song lyrics as blog titles, it’s back to normal. One of these days I plan on going back through my posts and putting links to the songs, since they usually have something to do with what I’m writing. Anyway, it’s 5:30am, and I’m writing this from home. Work tonight [...]
We will not be slaves of the decadent Indian empire!
Published January 29th, 2008 in Life. 1 CommentI thought I didn’t have much to do during second shift at work. I was wrong – it doesn’t compare at all to the utter quiet that is third shift. Thankfully, I’ve rediscovered a past love – Civilization 2. When this game came out years ago, I played it for hours on end. It’s the [...]
So I’m going to try an experiment. I’ve decided that the once a week mega post where I break it down all philosophical is fine and all, but tends to be a bit confining. What happens when Thursday hits, and I haven’t had any major revelations that week? Should I just wing it? Instead, I’m [...]
I’ve learned a number of lessons in my life, and not one of them has come at an easy price. That would be the first lesson, by the way. But nothing ever worth knowing ever came easy, because then you can discount the value of the lesson. Maybe that’s why I have more respect for [...]
When the dice were cast, they laid a crazy path
Published January 19th, 2008 in Life and Religion and Philosophy. 0 CommentsHowever you define the divine, be it God, Allah, Buddha, or the Universe, I’m a firm believer that if you truly pay attention to everything around you, the designs that the divine has for you will become abundantly clear. What’s funny, of course, is that you can sometimes pick up on the signs before it [...]
A friend of mine convinced me that I should get one of those powered TV antennas so that I could pick up local TV stations. See, here’s the thing: I don’t really spend that much time glued to the TV screen. Seems like a waste of a day or evening. And since I’m working at [...]
I think the universe gives us little tests now and then as a way to see how we handle our convictions. For example, if you swear off sweets, you can be sure that soon enough you’ll be presented with some temptation to bring you back. You’ll swear to lead a better life, and something will [...]
The child is grown, the dream is gone
Published January 3rd, 2008 in Life and Religion and Philosophy. 0 CommentsI’ve had a reoccurring dream for as long as I can remember. It’s one of those dreams that follows no rhyme or reason for why I have it – it’s not a precursor to something, it doesn’t come when I’m going through a particular emotion, it just occurs on it’s own. And over the years, [...]
