I Live in a Caste System City

I just did something that I have never done before, and that I do not tolerant when other people try to do to me. So, long story short, I had an appointment for an electrical inspection at home. The 4 hour appointment window came and went, no one knocked on the door or rang the [...]

Dear Lady

Dear mother of three kids in the park today, You shouldn’t be embarrassed of your kids laughing and giggling. It’s part of being a child. Children are supposed to play and be merry. Parks are places for them to vocally show their joy. Yelling at them and tell them that you’re embarrassed because they’re too [...]

Healthcare and the Supreme Court Today

I haven’t written much about healthcare lately. Heck, I haven’t written much at all. But, I do follow healthcare issues all the time. Healthcare and international politics are my guilty pleasures. For those of you followings the Supreme Court hearings of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), today found one significant statement. Both [...]

The Final Pearl Update

A couple of weeks ago, we discovered a little rock dove nesting a clutch of eggs on our front porch. For the following weeks, my wife and I have been obsessed with the mother bird and her babies. We bought a webcam to watch the chicks hatch and grow… we missed seeing the hatching. I [...]

You don’t keep driving like nothing happened… and [...]

I Am A Gh.ost

Saw HP Men.doza’s I Am A Gh.ost tonight. I promise, I won’t give away the plot or spoil it, so you can continue reading. For those of you familiar with Men.doza’s past films, this is a complete departure from his norm. It’s not a musical. It’s actually a horror film. Oh the horror! Cheesy… I [...]

The Smartest Idiot

Some days I feel smart, some days I don’t. I know I’m smart. I know I can put my mind to anything I want. I also know its all an act. I know I’m just faking how smart, or dumb, I am. One day I’ll have the confidence to tackle anything, and the next day [...]

Forgetful

I guess it’s good that I have a short memory for pain. Yes, this is an odd journal entry, but it serves me as a reminder for later. After I’m in pain, I tend to forget quickly, and I mean really quickly, that my body was mad at me. I guess it’s good in one [...]
