Not Good Enough
2008-03-31 17:45:00 Not Good Enough. Ever feel that way? I know I do. Often. Too often. In fact, it is quite possibly the bane of my existence. Well, maybe not the bane of my existence but it is the thing that I have the hardest time shaking and always has been. When that feeling hits me, I ...
Pieces of Me
2008-03-30 10:01:00 I was tagged by Teeni for this Getting to Know You Meme. It is a bit different than the average meme, if there is such a thing, in that the object is to link to past posts that tell your readers more about you, without their having to slog through your archives and figure it ...

A Gift From Our Grandfathers
2008-03-29 16:26:00 This landed in my email box this morning. I have to say, it grabbed me in the heart. I don’t know why I’m such a sap when it comes to this country and things like this really get to me, but they do. Taken in 1918, this picture is of 18,000 soldiers at Camp Dodge, Iowa ...

Is Thinking Extinct?
2008-03-27 05:57:00 Okay, so I’ve been studying up a storm, in order to become an Internet entrepreneur. You’d be amazed just how much stuff there is out there to learn. And how very much of it is free. I have a whole folder of free or almost free ebooks that I’ve downloaded and I’m not even ... More About: Extinct , Thinking

god bless capitalism
2008-03-24 16:59:00 Here in the land of nuts and twigs there has been quite the push to overcome childhood obesity. The banning of junkfood (the original crack) has become law in many California schools and I suspect, elsewhere. Now, naturally, this is the perfect solution because I mean, heck if you can’t get it at school, then ... More About: Capitalism , God Bless
3,000 Miles on One Tank of Gas?????
2008-03-21 02:03:00 Is it a car? An airplane? A hover craft? Nope. It’s the wave of the future. A car so fuel efficient you could conceivably drive across the country on one measely tank of gas. It really reminds me of George Jetson’s little coupe, remember that one? I wonder what kind of hairdo you’d wear ... More About: Miles , Tank
You Might Be an Irish Imposter If?
2008-03-17 16:51:00 Ah, St. Paddy’s Day is upon us and it is the day in which everyone ‘becomes’ Irish . The demonstrations of same range from the ridiculous to the more ridiculous. Being half Irish and this being the day of my momentous birth, I’m pretty good at spotting the Celtic fakers. You may be an Irish faker if: 1. ...
What Not to do in a Job Interview
2008-03-15 20:55:00 I don’t know about you, but I hate job interviews. They are so unnerving and you always worry about what to do and what not to do. And let’s face it none of us are really ourselves in job interviews because we all know on some level that were we to reveal ourselves the interviewer ... More About: Interview
You Know You?re Self-Employed When?
2008-03-14 21:33:00 As most of you guys know, I’ve recently wandered into the universe of self-employment. I have to say it is a universe unto itself and there are lots of things you learn - some quickly and some very slowly. Like how to build a website for instance. To help those of you who aren’t ...

Blogging is my Power
2008-03-10 17:34:00 Most of you know that I stumbled onto blogging unexpectedly and through my friend Michael. What started out as a temporary fill in became practically a vocation for me. Little did I know when I started blogging that it would go so well, that people would come and read and do so regularly and continue ... More About: Power , Blogging
Can You See it Now?
2008-03-08 18:56:00 Much has been written about the power of the mind, affirmations, positive thinking, getting what you think about, etc. and it’s something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately. Can a person really think themselves into the reality that they want? I would like to think so. I mean, how much power does that ...
Copywriter for Sale
2008-03-04 18:51:00 After my self-imposed sabbatical from the work-a-day world I faced the facts - 1) I was running out of money and 2) It was time to get back to work and 3) I kind of missed working. Easy, right? In fact, hardly any effort at all, because I got a call out of the blue from ... More About: For Sale , Sale , Copywriter
Blogrolls?What Are They Good For?
2008-03-02 21:42:00 I was just having a conversation the other day with a fellow blogger about blogrolls. It seems he/she was doing some reevaluation of his/hers (notice how I am consealing their identity - hehe) and discovered that many of the bagillion (yes, that is a word) blogs they listed on their roll was not reciprocal. ...

Dear God?
2008-03-01 05:25:00 Dear God…. I’m tired and my soul aches down to its toes Staring eyes see the blue between the words where I try to find your message. Trembling hands grasp for meaning in my daily bread but the crumbs scatter toward the crows That perch outside my window I hear them mumble prayers of unrepentance and sing hyms of opportunity My ...

Some Good Links for Content Theft
2008-02-25 03:47:00 So, Moe sent me some links and they are worth checking out. This particular link is chockful of good data. Although, a lot of it suggests plug ins which we in free wordpress blogland can’t use (I don’t think) but there are tons of other ideas and it is well worth checking into. This link is ...

It?s Not Just Content You?re Stealing?
2008-02-23 18:44:00 I have a friend, a wonderful writer, who discovered recently that someone stole a story of hers and posted it on their site. One of those tacky, non-blogs, wallpapered with ads and useless babble. One of those blogs (we use the term loosely here) that seems to have no real blogger behind it - ...

Barack Obama: Savior or Socialist?
2008-02-21 02:53:00 I know we’ve been having some fun swapping barbs about political candidates, lately. But I’d like to actually speak in earnest about Senator Barack Obama . I know that there are a lot of people out there who think he is really something - that maybe he is a shining beacon of hope for this country. Given ... More About: Election 2008 , Savior
To Serve and Protect - Officer Randall Simmons
2008-02-16 19:35:00 He was a giant, both physically and spiritually - perhaps moreso spiritually. His name was Randal Simmons , he was a 27 year veteran of the Los Angeles SWAT team and the first member in its 40 year history to ever be killed. Ten thousand people attended his funeral yesterday, officers from as far away as ... More About: Officer , Serve
One Hundred Thousand
2008-02-14 01:42:00 Okay, so nobody (including myself) even noticed when the stat counter flipped to 100K. To say I am shocked and amazed doesn’t begin to express how utterly surprised I am that there have been 100,000 hits on this blog. I only started because Mikey was doing it and there is this weird little competitive thing I ... More About: Thousand
But Baby it?s Cold Outside
2008-02-13 17:13:00 Well, once again the Incovenient Doof has gotten it wrong. Yep, Global Warming is simply not cooperating with the bloviating one and things are a little different than predicted by the moonbats. Apparently, 2007 wasn’t the warmest year on record, nor did it far surpass the dreaded 1998 in temps and death and destruction. Oh and ... More About: Baby , Cold

Do You Worship at the Altar of Oprah?
2008-02-10 21:19:00 I have to say I just don’t get the Oprah thing. I mean, sure, she’s intelligent and sometimes interesting - she even sometimes has interesting topics/guests on her show. But so do many others who have come before and after her. What is so darn special about this woman? I know that she likes to ... More About: Worship , Election 2008

Is a Vote for Huckabee a Vote for McCain?
More articles from this author:2008-02-05 23:18:00 Wow, I just saw this on Drudge. If it’s true - it’s pretty creepy. I don’t know much about Huckabee but I wouldn’t put it past McCain. He is so maniacal about being the candidate and never got over losing the nomination from Bush, I’d be willing to bet he made some sort of ... More About: Vote , Election 2008 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 |
