Is it Year in Review or Year End Review? Either way, let me warn you before we get started. I should have said a bottle of Whine, one of those big magnum suckers, because if you read further you are going to get drenched in it. You’ve been warned, proceed at your own risk: I was reading some of my old posts the other day and came across one I made in my first year of blogging. It stated that…
Let me warn you now, this is going to be a Debbie Downer of a post. I had big aspirations for 2024 and so far it’s been less than stellar. I’m full of frustration and I think that if I write it all down it might make me feel a little better. I totally understand if you want to skip this post. I wouldn’t blame you at all. We spent the last four months of 2023 in Canada with my…
Life has been quite busy lately and I haven’t written anything in many months. No writing done on my 22 works in progress. No short stories written. No Kindle Vella episodes. And certainly no blog posts. Hell, I have hardly even written Facebook update statuses. So, I told myself today, just write something! Write a measly blog post at least! I went to WordPress to do just that and ended up watching the cursor blink for ten minutes straight. Nothing…
TRIGGER WARNING! Because we have to do this now. This is not a funny post. This is a rant! Probably going to be the biggest rant I have ever done. It is going to involve comments on race and alternative lifestyles. I usually shy away from subjects such as these, but I have sat by and held my tongue far too long. I will probably lose some of the little followers I have, but the time has come to speak…
On August 1, 1981 a new channel on cable premiered. It was called Music Television (MTV). The first video they showed was Video Killed The Radio Star. That video was followed by the first episode of The Real World, giving birth to reality TV. There isn’t a video called Reality TV Killed The Music Video Star, but there should be. Also, I am sure you know that my timeline I just stated is just a bit inaccurate. It was actually…
Actually, I’m not really sure if this is a rant but felt I would put the warning in the title anyway. Let me start this with a disclaimer. The people I am about to rant about are great people that provide a valuable service to some of the disabled (I refuse to say differentlyabled) people in the world. With that being said let me summon my inner Seinfeld and ask, What is the deal with the funny faces all those…
I had intended to write a post for Halloween but seeing as how this is the fifth of November, I’m sure you pretty much figured out I didn’t. At first I was going to write something about the ongoing efforts to move Halloween to the last Saturday of October. But when I went to get the latest information I saw this! After I gave up my attempt at a petition, which I started first by the way, and threw my…
What does the year 1920 have to do with this post? That’s when Prohibition started in the United States. My own little prohibition started a bit later. It was a year ago this month that a preliminary test suggested I might have a liver disease. I made the conscious decision to abstain from alcohol until a more thorough diagnosis could be made. If you’ve been following, you know that several months later it was confirmed and I could never drink…
I was bored so I decided to type in the five W’s and How into a Google search field and see what it came up with for the first ten predictions of each one. Then I figured I would put my own spin on them. I don’t recommend using any of my verbiage for a term paper though. Who is – Who is who? I think you forgot to finish your query there. Who should I start – I can only assume…
I already warned you in the title but I’ll do it again. This is a total rant. If you are not into reading what grinds someone’s gears then go look at something like this. For those of you who are still here, read on. Also, for those of you who went to that link and came back angry, baffled, or just slightly annoyed; sorry not sorry. I welcome you back anyway. This rant is about the jizz waffles that stop…
