Doing it in a dream
Posted in Dreams, Education, Human behavior, Opinions on February 21, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
It is generally a very cold day in hell when I remember a dream. I’m told that we have at least 4-6 dreams per night, and if I’m asked to remember anything at all about any single one of them, I’d probably be forced to tell the inquirer to bugger off. When I was younger [...]

Something has to change in Division 1 collegiate athletics. This has been the most horrific year that I can remember. Before the football season even began Ohio State asks their head coach, Jim Tressel, to step down for lying and covering up a scandal involving several of his players. Further investigation showed (a) that the [...]

It’s an interesting topic and one that has been posed by WordPress. If you were to go back and change something about your education, wouldn’t you first have to return to your childhood and change something about yourself? “Oh, if I only knew then what I know now,” doesn’t really hold water, because how would [...]
So…What happened?

“What happened the day you were born?” It’s one of those ‘suggested topics’ that WordPress throws your way whenever you put a new post on ye olde blog. I could, of course, make it short and sweet by saying, “What? You don’t believe that my birth was significant enough?” However, in the interest of good [...]
I get goose bumps!

I vowed never to do it. Me, become a victim to a certain type of technology? No, it wouldn’t; it couldn’t happen…ever…never…not in a thousand years…liar! It’s true; I have succumbed. No more sniffing ink on pages; no more reading the jacket to determine its worth; no more cracking the spine. No, all of these [...]

“Hey, hey, whadda ya say, Let’s take over Wall Street today.” “We are the other 99%! “Feed the needy, not the greedy!” How about thanking Wall Street for trying to boost the value of our pension funds for those who are trying to supplement their Social Security? How about the college students giving Wall Street [...]
The most prolific writer

Who is the most prolific writer of all times? Look it up on Google. You will find 470 million references…in under eight one-hundredth of a second yet! Wow, now that’s fast! We often think of Shakespeare with his sonnets and plays as being particularly prolific, and it is quite true, but then again, it’s not. [...]

Here’s a question for you, Americans: Do you really care if we have a balanced federal budget? Do you, personally, actually give a damn if our debt ceiling is over fourteen trillion dollars? Do you even know what all of this crap means to you personally? How many of you are actually involved in the [...]
