The Decline of Grocery Store Etiquette
I try not to stress over “little” things, but sometimes the “little” things are what make the world a better place. This post brings to light a problem which is not bound by age, race, gender or geographic boundaries. It’s a subtle societal abnormality that can be witnessed by anyone, literally every time we venture…

Give Attention to What Really Matters
On January 26th, 2020, basketball player Kobe Bryant and his 13 year old daughter died in a fiery helicopter crash in California. What the media didn’t tell you was there were seven other people on the same helicopter, yet there was hardly any mention of them… I usually write about fun, silly, or off the…

Oh, The Things I Think About…
Sometimes random thoughts pop in my head that occupy far too much time and energy… The world and this ridiculous thing called life are funny. Not funny as in humorous, but funny like quirky. I often find myself caught up in this quirkiness pondering things most people probably don’t ponder. Do you think space aliens…

Interesting Comments From The Past
It’s easy to take our modern life for granted, but there was once a time, not too long ago, when things in our world appeared to be very different. There were some memes getting posted recently on social media titled, Comments Made in 1957. I did some research and found many of the comments are…

How Do People Live Without Pizza?
There are many places in the world where pizza is not a meal choice. People in a civilized world shouldn’t have to live like this. I get frustrated because there are no good pizza places in the area around my house, but can you believe there are places in the world where they’ve never seen…

If I Could Make a Million Dollars…
The fact of the matter is, you CAN make a million dollars, and most Americans DO. The problem is where the money goes. For whatever reason, $1,000,000 is a magic number that we strive for to think we’re “rich”, but in theory, a million dollars isn’t really that much. As such, most working Americans with…

You Meet The Nicest People in Truck Stop Bathrooms
Anyone who travels by automobile knows the pleasure of stopping at truck stops. They offer fuel, food, and sometimes even a little late night companionship. I’ll be the first to admit I’m not the most attractive man in the world. I don’t get hit on often, but the romantic glow of the fluorescent light in…

Another Year Down The Toilet
Rather than my usual year end loathing, I figured I would just wish my readers a Happy New Year. I truly appreciate you taking the time to read my random rants and rampant complaining about how miserable this existence we call life can be. I probably wouldn’t have much to write about if my life…

Online Dating is Like Used Car Shopping
They might look good in the pictures, but you know there is probably something wrong with them. The malfunction may not be apparent at first, but over time, something is bound to go wrong. You’ve been looking around for a while, trying to find what’s right for you. You know what you want, and what…

There HAS to be intelligent life in the universe…
If humanity is the best the universe has to offer, an asteroid needs to take out the Earth immediately. It’s extremely conceited to think humans are the only “intelligent” species in the universe. The evidence I use to defend my belief in extraterrestrial life is the fact that humanity is far from intelligent. People ask…

The Time I Ate 30 Year Old Gum
While it sounds like it’d be gross, it was only kind of gross. You’ll really only understand this post if you’re older than 40… A few years back, I was shopping in an antique store. I came across a pile of 1980’s baseball card packs for a pretty cheap price, so I bought them. I’m…

I Took a College Writing Class
As a professional writer, I wondered what would happen if I took a basic college writing class. Recently I decided to further some higher education goals. One of the prerequisites for for my degree was a Comp 1 basic writing class. While most people attending college probably wouldn’t care much about this, it made me…

Why Are You Thankful?
We’ve always been taught the “first” Thanksgiving in 1621 was a time of peace, happiness and blessings. Unfortunately, there’s a bit more to the story. When the Pilgrims had their feast with the Native Americans of New England in the fall of 1621, they were celebrating the fact they weren’t going to die in the…

Getting Old Sucks…
All you think about when you’re young is growing up, but when you’re grown up, all you want is to be young again. You can’t wait to turn 18 when you’re a kid. Once you make it to 18, you can’t wait to turn 21. But after that, what else is there to look forward…

The Sad Part of Being a Pizza Junkie
Pizza is usually the most beneficial thing in the universe, but sometimes pizza can actually let you down. Pizza is my life. There is no question about that. It’s my go-to when I’m happy, or when I’m sad. It’s always there for me to offer a non judgemental slice. But what happens when it doesn’t?…

Where Are All The Canadians?
Canada is a beautiful country of nearly 38 million people, but where are they? I know where Canada is physically located, but with regard to the internet, specifically my blog, I’ve never seen any Canadian readers on my site. I get the stats of where my readers come from, but I’ve not had one visitor…

I Need a Sign to Ban Election Signs!
Election season is almost upon us. This means all the “vote for me” signs are popping up like weeds in yards of homes and on street corners. To be blunt, I don’t care who you plan to vote for… There are two things in life everyone should keep to themselves: Politics and religion. Yes, I…

Paper or Plastic? Why You Should Care…
Anyone who has ever shopped in a grocery store has been asked that question, but have you ever really thought about why it matters? I was watching a TV show recently where they were discussing pollution. I’m not a liberal hippie, but it made me very angry. The topic of the show was about how…

My Friends & Family Don’t Follow Me
Promoting yourself on social media is like selling Amway products or some multi-level marketing scheme. No one wants to hear about it. One of the best practices to promote yourself as a writer, artist or entertainer is to share your work with family and friends on social media, but how many of them actually look…

Who Needs Talent…
Have you seen the memes about things that require zero talent? I decided to post my top ten favorites, as they’re applicable to pretty much anything we do in life. The things on this list aren’t groundbreaking words of wisdom, but they’re things that many people aren’t willing to do. You have to give a…

42 Million Followers: HOW???
I recently saw a blogger with more than 42 MILLION followers. I didn’t know there were even 42 million people who know how to read. I’m not one who reads many books, but I do like reading blogs online. Most of the content I see is written by “average” people, but every once in a…

Have You Ever Met a Famous Blogger?
The world of writing is much different from other forms of art or entertainment. You may have lots of followers, but are you really “known” for your work? If you ran into me in a grocery store, would you know who I was? For that matter, would you recognize ANY of your favorite writers? Whatever…

I’m Going To Nigeria
With so many Nigerian princes and banks trying to find Americans to share their unclaimed wealth and inheritance, I want to make it easier for them… Sending these unsolicited e-mails to millions of strangers seems like such a hassle for those writing them, but I have a plan to simplify the process. Whether it’s a…

How NOT To Make Money Blogging
There are tons of articles out there on how you can get rich blogging. Everyone has advice on how to monetize, but there aren’t many articles telling how to NOT make money. Until now, that is. Writing is therapeutic for me and it’s fun. I enjoy watching my thoughts turn into words for others to…

Procrastination and Useless Facts
Time is a valuable thing, yet we continually waste it. When it’s gone, it’s gone and we’ll never get it back. If we know the resources of time are limited, why do we care so little about it? _____________________________________________________________________________________ I learned the word cereal is derived from the name of Ceres, the goddess of agriculture,…

What Is Your Life Worth?
Finding perspective and appreciating what you have will help you realize the true worth of your life… Imagine yourself in a courtroom. You’re on the stand being questioned by a prosecutor; not because you’ve committed a crime, but because you’re defending the life you’ve lived. This sounds like the premise of a fantasy novel or…
