My thoughts and insights on the fundamental nature of knowledge, reality, and existence.
Why is it that we always seek answers and explanations for virtually every anomaly that we encounter? When the answer is not immediately obvious, then we start with the rationalization. I firmly believe that this is one of the drivers of chaos in our world. Everyday at about 4:30 PM EST, some financially inept talking […]

My good buddy, Mark (The Professor) Pietrafesa convinced me that the future of music lies nestled in the sound hole of a ukulele. So, convinced that he was indeed the prophet that I had a need to heed, I bought me an el cheapo Kala ukulele. (pictured directly to your right) I be lovin this

Didja ever wonder who’s in control of this crazy world? As time passes and I age, I wonders more deeply about this existential question each and every day. The religious, semi religious, and even slightly religious will all fall back on the old “God is in control”. This seems like a huge cop out to

So today, I has decided that the world needs to know my daily activities. I mean really, who doesn’t want to know what a 61 year old cranky old fucker does each and every day of their lives? Inquiring minds wanna know. I woke up at about 6 AM after a fitful night of frequent

Obviously this all needs some ‘splainin, and I do believe that I am THE most qualified person, that is writing this blog, and talking to you, to perform the aforementioned ‘splainin. First let’s talk about the

Just t’other day whilst sitting in the sauna at the YMCA, the topic of jury duty came up amongst the amalgam of old bastards sweating and farting on the wooden benches. Says one fellow – “I just throw the damn things in the garbage. Been doing it for years with no repercussions.” Another pipes up

I yam not the grammar or spelling police, but some things just drive me to drink, not that I need a reason. What are these things, you ask? Mispronouncing common words is one of these “things”. “Supposably” is one word that makes me physically ill. Another is “Libary”. The first thought that comes to mind

Today, as I was listening to that bastion of liberal thought (NPR), it occurred to me that the decline of civilization can be linked to a single series of events. Possibly, it could be just one event, perpetuated by one man, that caused the cascade to commence. The man is Wolf Blitzer. On my wildest

I’ve recently started attending a (mostly) monthly meeting of old friends for breakfast. We have named this “club” the Crusty Old Bastards (COB). There are no requirements for membership other than being old, crusty, possessing questionable bathing habits, and having a hail and hearty appetite for alcohol. How did it all start? Origin stories are
