My thoughts and insights on the fundamental nature of knowledge, reality, and existence.
Recent circumstances, politics, news casts, and general streams of continuous blah blah blah have invaded my every waking hour. You’d think that by now, I’d be smart enough to plug my ears, turn it off, or sit down and have a quiet beer with some friends. It’s like watching a NASCAR race and waiting for

Sarcasm has become the primary means of making a point stand out from the herd. It used to be biting satire and witty irony, but sadly, sarcasm seems to have completely overtaken the public discourse. I am just as guilty as the rest, but as with all narcissists with fragile egos, I would like to

Are there certain phrases that irritate the crap out of you? One that I am thinking about today, mainly because I seem to be hearing it a lot is … “You should be ashamed of yourself” or worse yet “yourselves”. Nothing good can come of such a statement. How about “The fact of the matter”?

He’s dead now Jim – so he cannot sue me. “The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, for without followers, evil cannot spread.

I am convinced that what the three (count em three) branches of government are going through right now is exactly what is needed. Consider if you will, the physical condition of a lard ass sitting on their sofa eating bonbons for like 50 years. The solution for said lard ass is exercise and diet. That

I’m back baby and I’m lovin’ every minute of it As Jon Stewart is leaving The Daily Show, I feel that there is a great commentary vacuum that is desirous of being filled. It was Aristotle that first proposed the idea that the natural state of things does not lend itself to vacuous-ness (Latin: horror vacui

I feel compelled to review my year. After seeing all of the other sad “This Year in Review” commentary, I feel that they all fall short in many ways. The most specific failure in these reviews is that there is no mention of me, hence my need to bring my narcissistic viewpoint into focus for

Often I find my brain chewing on a single thought – “What’s next?”. Deep thinking or meditating is something I occasionally engage in, but in all truth, I am more of a “doer” than a person that “think’s about doing”. In the past this has often resulted in disaster, as the mouth speaks before the
