The terrorists have won

We live in a time where we are deeply indebting ourselves spending by trillions of dollars on a decade-long war (against the wrong enemy), spying on literally everyone in our country, and making any kind of air travel a living hell. In other words, the terrorists won. They made us strangle ourselves. Read this Wall […]

Respecting each other

It’s disappointing that even today we can’t expect one person to respect another person. It’s far too common to see insults or threats based on race, gender identity, religion, and even political persuasion. People demean others because of whatever stupid reason. There is never a good reason, and it’s always (in part) because of lack […]

The Week of Stolen Content

So, hey guys. I’m giving you the heads up that during this week, I’ll be re-blogging from other sites that I enjoy (and that I think you would enjoy reading and subscribing to). I’m doing this because I’ve realized that I am running short of time to simply do things. I have a couple of […]

A Handshake

Originally posted on Where All Bad Kristins Go To Die:
I meet a few farmers, ranchers and business people here and there, men and women. There’s always the handshake, that brief skin to skin contact with a stranger that’s suppose to lay their personality before you to be judged. Fish handshake? Knuckle crusher? Firm yet…

Just one more thing

Writing this very short post from my phone at a car dealership. Brought in my wife’s vehicle for an oil change and other simple things. Turns out the front brakes are in desperate need of replacement. I guess I’ll buy some new brake pads too. See how good of a husband I am? Tell your […]

My Top Searches

Not a lot to talk about today. The past two posts have been a little heavy. I just want to let you all know that many people find this blog because of Google searches. And the main post they find when doing their random searches is The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Boris the Soviet Love Hammer. […]

There are actually two sides to the story

Lately, the media has been pretty bad about trying to be impartial when it comes to news stories. It can come one of two ways. Either the station you are watching is a blatant political cheerleader that typically only presents the good stories about their team or the bad stories about the other team (Fox […]

How to change things

Yesterday, the internet was just buzzing about things that have been happening for years. Namely, it was the revelation that Verizon has been ordered by the US government to give the NSA all information about every phone call ever made for three months (like who was calling whom, how long the call lasted, where the calls were coming […]

Meet Mr. Oblivious to Irony

I shouldn’t be surprised at this point by any of the people who make their way to the gas station counter. But this guy left me speechless. Here’s the story: The man comes to my register with his purchases and casually slides his EBT card towards me. (EBT cards, for those who don’t know, are […]

Whiskey

Last night I experienced an urge to get fuzzy-headed. Usually I let beer do its thing and take me away to fuzzy brain land. But the only beer I have is the one I just made and I am intending to bottle for others. I’m not sure of the exact quantity left in the keg, […]
