INFLUENCER BLOGGING: BOOMERPDX IN A VACUUM

September 5, 2021 by

Influencer blogging is determined by the ‘most read’ posts on any particular blog. Take BoomerPdx for example. The influence this blog carries includes naked men in a gym locker room. If this was a marketing influencer blog, I’d market this idea for gyms: shower up, get dressed, and leave. Stopping hanging around, showboat. Speaking of […]

LIVING GOOD IMPOSSIBLE IF YOU DIE TOO EARLY

September 2, 2021 by

Living good is a worthy goal. So is helping others realize what a good life offers. However one idea of a good life isn’t the same as someone else’s. When you discover people with shared goals the game is on. For example, part of a good life is: “When we realize what “do unto others” […]

PROPER ETIQUETTE FOR NORMAL LIFE

August 29, 2021 by

Proper etiquette is a good habit, not a sign of weakness. We say please and thank you and you’re welcome. Gym etiquette? Same. But not everyone gets it. The job for us as citizens has a short list of requirements, starting with working it out instead of fighting it out. Jacked up gym rats are […]

ANGRY MEN: WHAT HAPPENED TO MAKE THEM SO ANGRY

August 26, 2021 by

Angry men all come from the same source of disillusionment: “This isn’t what I expected and I’m pissed, y’all.” No one respects you? Grrrr. You don’t have a celebrity lifestyle? Feeling hot. Someone told you you’re getting replaced? Grab a torch. But where does this all start? Look at self-esteem.

DO YOU KNOW BETTER? PROBABLY NOT AND YOU’RE NOT ALONE

August 22, 2021 by

What age marks the moment when you ‘ought to know better?’ How many times do we get fooled before we say we won’t get fooled again? The first time you got fooled: That was unexpected. The second time you got fooled: Didn’t we take care of that last time? The third time you got fooled: […]

WHY SAD ENDINGS RUIN LIVING HAPPILY EVER AFTER

August 8, 2021 by

Sad endings of books and movies leave time for reflection and hope: I reflect on why I ever started the story and hope it never happens again. It always happens again, but, as a mature adult, I feel the possibility of emotional growth from sad endings. Experience says we all grow. ‘Grow what’ is the […]

HEALTH ADVICE STARTS WITH TRUSTING THE SOURCE

August 2, 2021 by

When health advice comes from questionable characters, is it really advice to follow? It’s not health advice when it comes from people with agendas, people courting voters, or people seeking some kind of personal affirmation. If Reverend Bob decides Sunday is the day to go off on the congregation about covid masks, covid vaccines, and […]

IMPERFECT GOALS? NO ONE SAID YOU HAVE TO BE PERFECT

July 22, 2021 by

Imperfect goals are a good reason to write, to explain, to instruct. It doesn’t take a licensed teacher with three masters degrees to understand the pressures of perfection. “Do your work the best you can and let it stand” is the right motto for moving forward. The hard part is watching it all get torn […]

Dysfunctional parents come in all sizes, shapes, and colors. Kids raised in a dysfunctional environment come out of it with choices to make. No one chooses to be a dysfunctional parent, but if that’s all you know, what else is there to do? Plenty. Starting with, “What is dysfunctional supposed to mean, smarty pants? You […]

OTHER AMERICA ASKS WHAT’S WRONG, EVERYTHING’S FINE

July 16, 2021 by

The other America sees a problem, but instead of seeking a solution, they tune into their favorite channel to discover if it’s a real problem. And who to blame. Not fix, but blame. Problems don’t go away if you scream a cry loud and often. Shocking? But, not to you? An American living in Germany […]
