Where Is Everyone Going?
There are always plenty of people driving on roads and highways, and there are always lots of people out walking around, but where is everybody going? They can’t all be going to work. They can’t all be going to school. They can’t all go to Walmart. They can’t all be at the pool. They can’t…

The Positive Side of COVID-19
Covid-19 seemed to hit a virtual “reset” button for humanity, causing some things which might make life a little better in the long run (if humans are smart enough to see it).

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…

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…

Why Are Homeless People Scary?
Human fears are sometimes driven by first impressions based solely on appearance. The homeless are often unfortunate victims of these invalidated perceptions.

I’m offended that you’re offended…
In a time where everyone is offended by everything, I’ve decided I’m offended by others being offended… Political correctness really bothers me. I don’t like being told what I’m allowed (or not allowed) to think. It’s not because I’m a rebel, nor is it because I’m a writer, but because I’m human. Whether its politics,…

When Crazy Drivers Drive You Crazy
It’s no secret drivers under the influence of alcohol or drugs cause numerous accidents and fatalities on our roadways, but there is another type of impairment not being addressed by government statistics—stupidity.
