Defining MarriageDefining Marriage With California now allowing same-sex marriage; the dispute between religion, government, and choice once again seems to be the forefront of conversation in communities large and small.  Many on the religious front feel it should be outlawed: however occasionally within this group a voice or two of...

Nightmare Shoppers As I made my way through the grocery store, I ran into a couple who clearly believed they were the only two people in the store.  They had a cart full of groceries and as I walked down the frozen foods aisle, they decided to block it.  And by block it, I don't mean stand in my lane so I was forced...

Every time I think I’m going to get back here and blog, something seems to happen.  I have oodles of thoughts in my head just waiting to share and even lots of drafts started but alas sometimes life gets in the way of living.  We all have hopes and dreams we either wanted or have maybe even achieved but I think sometimes reality sets in and those dreams get knocked down a notch or two so they...

As I sit here trying to come up with something new to write, my mind seems to be drawing a blank so I’m just going to write whatever comes.  Have you ever just sat and tried to contemplate the world around you and how you fit into it?  Today I’m doing that and trying to find my place in this world.  The reality is, I know exactly where I fit in and normally I fit that mold pretty well...

In honor of Valentine’s day (major ick), I thought I’d take a different approach and talk about something which drives me crazy.   You see there is a deep injustice in this world, a double standard which cuts deep.  Valentine’s day is the big one but anniversaries, birthdays, Christmas, and other holidays which involve gifts can just as easily fall into this trap. It’s the...

Something I don’t think I’ll ever understand is the complete lack of concern for others’ safety or well being as is often exhibited in society.  I’ve seen time and time again where individuals, and groups of individuals simply sit back and watch the show rather than stepping in to lend a helping hand.  There are numerous situations where this occurs and they range from something...

Oh you know who you are, you are the idiot who has one of those custom ring-tones: some God-Awful song like “Butterfly” by Crazy Town or some squeaky high pitched voice who does karate chop noises before squealing about your incoming messages, call or email.  OR it could be something even more ridiculous like the pre-packaged “Hawaiian” or other “island” music...

I decided today to start a new section for this site.   At some point I’ll go back I’m sure and re-categorize those posts I’ve already written but for now it’s time to start a new segment “Pet Peeves”.  Each of us has some secret annoyances or things which make us roll our eyes or even things which nearly call us to action on the spot.  The goal of this segment...

Recently I watched a pair of movies which although a few years old, still have significant relevance and paired together had a profound impact on my thoughts.  The two movies were “Monster’s Ball” and “American History X”.  If you haven’t seen either, I recommend you do.  The main point of both focuses on racism, specifically white on black racism but there are...

For the first time in nearly two years I looked at the stats for this site and noticed the numbers of visitors for the last year has significantly increased.  Ironically I haven’t done a thing to the site so I can only hope it’s age and terms getting out there but it has definitely given me some encouragement to get back to writing again.  I don’t know who out there in cyber space...

I recently posted this response to Mormons and figured it belonged here as well.  Religion is a very sensitive subject in general and I feel very passionately about it.  Anything related to Mormonism and its ways is of particular interest to me as I understand it intimately.   FYI the snippets I responded to are his REVISED talk, not the original.  The revisions are not any better and a web search...
