NEVER COMPLAIN, NEVER EXPLAIN, UNTIL NOW

I’m not a complainer, I never complain, and it’s a problem. If you don’t complain, then people think you’re perfect and living a perfect life. I don’t know a perfect anyone, let alone them living a perfect life. It’s sure not my life, probably not yours either? But you don’t complain? Thank you. Now it’s […]

Blog friends come from the four corners of earth, which if my compass is correct, includes North, East, South, and West. Everyone from anywhere can come in with a good internet connection. Shout out to South Africa, Poland, Malaysia, China, Canada, Philippines, and Australia. To India, England, France, and Spain. To North America, South America, […]

GIVING UP THE FIRST TIME

I don’t remember giving up, quitting, rising the white flag. But here we are, and I’m not alone. There’s the rocking chair, the TV, the food delivery. As long as everything lasts, why not rot away quietly? Why not? Here’s why not with Kurt Vonnegut:

INTERNET SHOWTIME SATURDAY WITH A SIDE OF HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE

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?

CONTENT CREATION QUESTIONS TO ASK

Content creation are not my two favorite words. Content Creator sounds like a title bestowed by the Gods of the Internet. But if your goal is creating content for an online audience, where do you start? Ask a blogger with a track record of post production if you know one. If you don’t know an […]

FINDING FAULT TAKES A HARD LOOK OUTWARD

Finding fault is one of the first things to do when things go wrong, as long as you don’t find yourself. And that takes practice. If you’re to blame and you know it, the job just got easier. Ask, “Why would I do that,” after a spectacular screw-up and you won’t get many answers. Why?

PERSONAL IDENTITY BASED ON SOCIAL MEDIA POST

Meeting new people who roll out their personal identity is a thrill when it works out. I’ve learned so much by listening. (No matter what people who know me say, I do listen, just not to them.) An American family tradition, maybe your family tradition, is being kind to strangers, of giving others the benefit […]

WHY SMALL TOWN PEOPLE MATTER

Lost in the hyper speed of modern life on a 1.4 terabit internet connection is the human pace of life. Call it small town life for small town people, but remember we’re all small town people once you peel off the layers of sophistication. Jet setters once clamored for seats on the […]
