GOOGLE GAME NEEDS PRO HELP?

July 23, 2024 by David Gillaspie

Your google game tells who you are? A new rorschach test? The old test always looked like a broken spine and shattered hips, but okay. The new test results would be disappointing. Why?

NEEDED CHANGE BEGINS WITH . . . ? VOTING

July 22, 2024 by David Gillaspie

‘Needed change?’ Just repeating the words lends a sense of urgency. Something goes wrong? Something’s not right? Someone’s got a better idea? What about that ‘better idea?’

LOVE STORY WITH CLOSING DOORS AND WINDOWS

July 20, 2024 by David Gillaspie

The love story in The Last Rave is a warning. But a warning for who? From a gender perspective it’s a warning for women who want more from their guy. Turns out some guys have bigger problems than women who want them to want more with them.

THE DAY AFTER TODAY IS THE BEST DAY, OR IS IT TODAY

July 15, 2024 by David Gillaspie

I grew up thinking good times were the day after I first heard about ‘delayed satisfaction.’ People who wanted it all, and wanted it now, were not realistic. What do you want? All. When do you want it? Now. Why didn’t that work out for me? I had brothers and sisters.

PORTLAND HISTORY COMEBACK JUST IN TIME

July 14, 2024 by David Gillaspie

Portland history used to be easy. Two old guys flipped a coin in a clearing and here we are living happily ever after. That’s my story, but I’m not sticking to it when I tell the Portland story.

INTERNET SHOWTIME SATURDAY WITH A SIDE OF HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE

July 13, 2024 by David Gillaspie

I’m a big fan of internet showtime, the daily scroll. But I keep it simple. I’m not looking for verification, authentication, or validation. Not looking for lawyers, guns, or money. What I’m looking for is attention grabbing posts, videos, and stories. Make me pause. Is that asking for too much?

HOW TO QUIT CARING AND MOVE ON

July 10, 2024 by David Gillaspie

If you quit caring about someone or something, how do you explain it to yourself, let alone anyone else? You can’t just quit and leave it at that. You need to explain it all in painful detail. Or maybe that’s just me.

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN REMINDERS

July 4, 2024 by David Gillaspie

Who needs a Personal Development Plan? A PDP? More like who doesn’t. From cradle to grave we’re either doing personal development, or planning personal development. It’s good to have a plan to work. But if your goal, your plan, is to become a world class jackass, keep working.

COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN

June 29, 2024 by David Gillaspie

If a writer isn’t complaining, what are the other options? After a quick look since I came up with nothing, it’s praise. Praising. But we’re not used to praising. That needs to change.

OLD FOLKS TALKING IT OUT ON TELEVISION

June 28, 2024 by David Gillaspie

Why would old folks not rest on their laurels? Either they’re not tired, or they have no laurels. Last night’s Presidential Debate showed more than just the candidates. It also showed the problem with the format.
