TWO WORLDS, ONE PEOPLE

March 18, 2022 by

We live in two worlds, or so it seems. One world is bright and shiny with hope for the future. It’s glass and steel with clean, clear surfaces. Shades of blue light sparkle between the dreams of the builders and us, the visitors. That’s one world. Looks good, smells good, feels good.

AFFIRMING LIFE ON THE EDGE

March 15, 2022 by

How much do I like seeing people work at affirming life? I like it a lot. From this blog I’ve seen how important it is. I’ve also seen the need is never ending when confronted by adversity. A body laying in the street is just such an adversity, and I’m not in a war zone.

TREAT TRAINING FOR WORLD PEACE JEANS

March 11, 2022 by

Treat training for a teething puppy is better than a bloody hand every time you pet it. Ask me how I know. Could it work for rogue nations intent on attacking neighbors like said puppy attacks everything as if their existence depends on it? Try explaining how this works to the dog before you call […]

WESTERN CIV 101: A BASIC SURVEY

March 9, 2022 by

Western Civilization, Western Civ, starts with a journey that began as a walk, or a float. Someone young enough, strong enough, and smart enough wanted more than what they’re getting. “More what,” you ask? Since this is a simple explanation I’ll keep it basic: more food, more clothing, more shelter. Or any food, any clothing, […]

FIRST YOU SCREW UP, THEN THE FALLOUT

March 8, 2022 by

When you screw up, you know it. At least you should know. Something is broken, or lost, or stolen because of you? After that the decisions start to pile up. Tell others what happened? Admit to your self? Or, pretend nothing happened, nothing to see, and move along. Which one are you?

MAKING HISTORY? THEN MAKE GOOD HISTORY

March 6, 2022 by

Making history feels like something you might realize after the fact. You did something well, felt good about it, then someone says, “That’s never been done before.” Does that make what you’ve done more important? Maybe important enough to try again?

LIVE THEATER WORKS TO EXPLAIN CURRENT EVENTS

March 5, 2022 by

Live theater? Please. I’ve got a jacked up bill with Ziply Fiber, an AppleTV account, and the most important: Three channels of C-SPAN, the kings of slow TV, which is just my speed. Why would I leave the room with the big screen? Ever? For live theater, I leave for live theater. Don’t you?
