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.

  • A Cut Above

    I like my hair kept short, like bald short… the receding hairline has helped me to come to this conclusion, but honestly even when I was a kid and didn’t have such a thing showing this much, I wasn’t a fan of hair on my head. If there were a way to prevent my hair from growing I would so totally take that pill. Even if side-effect would mean there was a slight chance my…

  • Little Trip

    I’m off today, going to Las Vegas to visit with Suzanne. I’m just waiting for the dishwasher to get done and I’ll be on my way – it’s a odd thing to wait for but I want to put the dishes away before I head out. It’s going to be around 80 in Vegas so cooler than here and I might bright a long sleeve shirt or two. I had my car broken into the other…

  • Jalapeños Today

    I ate Jalapeños today. This isn’t really big news I suppose, I’ve likely eaten them before in salsa or something someone fed me and not known. But today at a restaurant I actually saw them in with my steak and thought – what the hell, lets wrap it up in the tortilla and eat it. How bad could it be really. Reputation of Jalapeños had me anticipating a mouth of fire.

  • Lessons

    There are some things I figured I wouldn’t have to teach people. Common sense things that you figure everyone would know. Or conscience things – you know so and so will pick up after themselves as they don’t want to be thought of badly. This is apparently incorrect thinking.

  • Solitude, My Fortress

    I don’t like people. Crowds of people. New people. Old people and Young people. Couples, families (not just mine), adults or children alike. Just in general – people I don’t like them. They make me feel uncomfortable, ill at ease. My skin itches and I want to make them stop looking at me, even if they may not be looking at me. I feel like I’m obligated to interact with them, to want to be…

  • Stories I'm working on

    These are bothering me and so here’s a little bit of each one – three so far and for all I know they’re connected. They just get stuck in my head until I get them out. Sorry to bother you all.

  • Unsolicited Preaching

    This post may offend some of the more religiously inclined… this don’t bother me, just thought you should have a warning. I officially have laryngitis – thanks Doc, I kind of figured that. I’ve been asked to refrain from talking, yelling or singing (My Doc has a sense of humor). This is hard to do really, the singing part… I don’t really yell often. Not talking is proving to be harder than i thought too,…

  • Mumblings

    The sick thing keeps holding on and continues to be sick – I wasn’t actually referring to the President but it applies there too. My cough remains (and it drains me, saps all my energy) and the more I talk the less I can talk – it seems. I folded a load of laundry this weekend and had to take a nap after as I was beat. The only thing that has been alleviated since…

  • Vacationing Harder

    Today I’m sick, horribly sick: coughing, fever, chills, diarrhea, tired… actually I feel better right now than I have in a while. I’ve been on an antibiotic since Saturday morning for what I’m thinking is Cruise Crud -having just been on a cruise for 4 days and it started on the boat with a mild sore throat which just kept getting worse. This morning I started craving solid foods, having been on liquids really for…

  • The Extractor

    In 2028 the US Government took a dramatic swing from Democrat and Republican to Technocrat. After over twelve years of decline into the superstition of religion and the fear it breeds, the population rose up and replaced those running on old ideas and replaced them with those who had scientific knowledge and acumen to change the course of the country. Technocrats and the Technocracy movement abolished old ideas keeping the country from progressing. Instead of…
