55 y/o malcontent, something of a writer

Welcome to My Little Corner of the Internet

Random thoughts, unsolicited opinions, personal stories, and the occasional rant. I’ve been around long enough to have a few things to say, and apparently nobody thought to stop me from putting them on the internet.

Feeling Adventurous?

Let fate decide what you read next.

  • 5 Years Later

    The first thing that comes to mind is the still photograph on CNN, of the impact site on the first tower. In the background we could see another plane headed in the same direction; then we knew it was more than an accident. I was working at Children’s Hospital on the 6th floor. When the second tower was hit people started to get a little crazier saying it must have been an accident or something.…

  • Worker Among Workers

    The 12 step community spouts off slogans all the time: Live and Let Live, 90 in 90, Be a worker among workers… So, the new job they all wear shorts… should I stop wearing slacks and dress shirts to fit in? πŸ˜‰ Blogger is upgrading its webblogs, I can’t upgrade mine it seems… not sure what this means for mrjamezq.blogspot.com jamez

  • Idiotic

    OK, Turner is going to edit Tom and Jerry Cartoon’s where the characters are smoking (story here) . This is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever read in my life… Why stop with Tom and Jerry, lets change Little Red Riding Hood to be a non-gender specific book, and remove the wolf as it may frighten the children… How long before we start to change novels that have words that may be offensive today…

  • New Job

    So this week I started at my new job with Ann’s husband John in Takoma Park. So far things are going well, there is lots to do there. Right in front of myself, and Leslie (the office manager) is a huge reorganization… things are everywhere. It’s not the worst I’ve ever seen… but it’s bound to be a challenge. My commute is about 30 – 45 minutes which isn’t bad at all, I’ve been writing…

  • Listening Station

    What am I listening to? Under the Influence Of Giants, their self titled debut album is spectacular. I seriously listen to it over and over again. Trust me here, give it a listen, its very catcy fun and has a great beat.

  • One Angry Gnome (WOW Story)

    When Mancy was but a wee lad gnome, his step-father, Oxen, had pushed his mother into a well and left her to die. His mothers death-bed confession explained thoroughly what happened, β€œHe ran off to live with his orc mistress. She lives south east of the capital city of Ogrimar, I had confronted her relationship with your father many years ago. She laughed in my face and almost killed me on the spot. The night…

  • Athletes Elite

    I’m tired of Drug Testing scandals on the news, it distracts from the really important stories; like the wax Brangelina baby or a Suri Cruise sighting. Lets decide here and now to do away with steroid testing entirely. I want to see what kind of monster killers we can breed with drugs for the Olympics. Of course all countries would be able to do the same, lets imagine the super elite athletes in every major…

  • Jury Duty

    I was called for Jury Duty, almost as soon as I arrived back in town. Contrary to popular belief, financial and job issues are NOT good enough reasons to be excused from Jury Duty. I arrived at 8:05 or so (yes, I got lost) and stood in the very long line for 10 minutes. Then sat and read The Pilots Wife until they finally called a group for jury selection, luckily I was in that…
