I can remember living briefly in Orlando, Florida, and watching a non-amusing TV news piece done inside of a shopping mall on the Monday observance of Veteran’s Day. The news crew had found random school kids wandering the mall on their day off and asked them WHY they had the day off from school. Only [...]
I have crazy dreams. I don’t know if it’s from what I eat or drink, but my dreams are more like twisted movies than anything. I’ve decided to periodically post some of the wilder dreams I have. You may be an undigested bit of beef, a blot of mustard, a crumb of cheese, a fragment [...]
I received on Facebook the pictured request above… go ahead and click for detail. It was a request from my wife’s Facebook account to confirm that indeed we are married. This is what we would call a “no-brainer”… but it just struck me as quite exceptional to be asked by my wife – via social [...]
I went to Washington, DC recently for a friend’s wedding (sort of – it turns out they actually got married two days prior… which we found out when we got there… so we arrived in time for the post-wedding barbecue… but it seriously was great). Anyways, there was much to observe and ruminate on in [...]
Recently an event came to my attention that inclined me to spontaneously spout the following: You know… if you’re gonna’ be stupid, you gotta’ be smart about it. I love one-liners, and the poetry of this one rang true in my ears as soon as it left my lips. I quickly Googled to see if [...]
Last night I had a true, All-American Friday night. Some have no idea what that means (and probably never will)… and others will roll their eyes because they just don’t understand (and probably never will). You don’t have to be American to have an All-American Friday, as it is part of a transcendent and spiritual [...]
Today is Memorial Day in the US. A day when we remember those who have given their lives in service this great nation. This day is not “just another day”. Many will tritely dismiss this as an unnecessary formality. Many will claim that they can “honor the fallen” any day they wish and choosing a [...]
I love coffee. I love good coffee. I love good coffee that caters to bloggers. And, most of all, I love good coffee that caters to bloggers and supports the troops! How can it get any better? The folks at Boca Java Gourmet Coffee & Tea have put together Blogger’s Fuel.com devoted to their blogging [...]
So the number one Al-Queda leader in Iraq is now roasting in hell. Good. That man willingly displaced his humanity with pure evil. If you don’t believe in that sort of thing just watch Zarqawi saw the head off an innocent man (the infamous Berg video – EXTREME caution is advised). Not enough people have [...]
You may have to be military to fully appreciate this… but… I found this linked on Steve Martinez’s website. He’s a fellow military man so it doesn’t surprise me I’d find it there. It’s an Army remake of the now famous SNL skit Lazy Sunday I blogged on previously… it’s called Lazy Ramadi and is [...]
I'm a Christ-follower, compelled by my faith toward reason, which points directly toward conservatism. This world's daily onslaught of lunacy offends my intellect and senses, so this is my venue to blow off steam.
