September 10th, 2001 was the last “normal” day for America.
Those who experienced the tragic events of September 11th, 2001 will always remember exactly what they were doing when they heard the news of the attacks on America. The feelings we experienced will be forever ingrained in our minds as if they happened yesterday… Like the attack on Pearl Harbor and the assassination on John…

The Real Pandemic: Lack of Logic
The world worries about getting infected by covid-19, but there is another pandemic that seems to be spreading much faster: Ignorance and Stupidity. If you’re wondering what the difference is between ignorance and stupidity, ignorance implies a lack of knowledge. Stupidity is having the knowledge, but not using it. I’ll let you draw your own…

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). Millions of people in the United States are experiencing the side effects of the disease outbreak, but even in total darkness there is…

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…

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 Married? Choose the BEST First Dance Song
The symbolic first dance at a wedding reception sets the musical tone for your new life together, but before you tell the DJ to play that special song, make sure it’s the right one. Perhaps the chorus of your favorite song has some words which resonate with your mushy feelings. Maybe “your” song was the…

I’m a Social Outcast Because I Don’t Drink Coffee
Coffee has become such a staple of “normal” life, it’s almost like insulting someone’s mother to say you don’t drink it. But being that I’m far from “normal”, I’m okay with being an outcast. It happens all the time. At Work: “Oh my God, I need some coffee, come on, let’s go get some” Meeting…

Why I Don’t Read Political Posts
Opinions posted on social media are like people’s butt cracks. Everybody has one, but we don’t all need to see them.. I’ve been on Facebook for many years, but I was never one to post very often, especially rants. Nor was I ever an overly political person until the 2016 elections when America was so…

How One Phone Call Changed Who I Am
We all like to think we know who are, but every once in a while something happens that changes the entire way you look at the world, and yourself. As a kid growing up, I really didn’t know much about my family heritage. I’d heard stories about my family history, but as a child you…

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,…

How a defective straw made my day…
We get so wrapped up in the craziness of life we often miss the little things. When you find some of those little things, life is so much better. I hadn’t been to McDonald’s in long time. Despite my better judgement, my kids convinced me to go. While waiting for the food to be brought…

Election Day – A Time For Friendship (Not)
Oh election day… How do I love thee? Let me count the ways… I’ve overheard so many conversations recently about “who are you going to vote for?”, which is usually followed by either “thank goodness” or “oh my God, why?”. I’ve watched the facial expressions of disbelief when someone disagrees with whoever is asking the…

People Should Be More Like Dogs
Humans confuse me. They’re always going somewhere and they’re always in need of something to do. Why can’t they just sit and look out the window? They wake up in the morning and they’re grumpy. They say don’t want to leave, but they do. They come home from wherever they were and they’re still grumpy.…
