Friends Hating Friends

I’m told I do a lot of drama blogs. I find it sad that friends of mine seek to war against other friends of mine. Many of you fight the same fight. Divide and conquer is the method used against us. If you are my friend, I care about you, I want your views to […]

Sausage: Making the Good Out of Who Knows What

Sausage. Who amongst the omnivores here doesn’t love sausage? Going back to it’s origins, sausage is the respectable older sibling of the hot dog: let’s take cuts of meat that would otherwise be unpalatable to the western tongue, grind them up with a few regular cuts and stuff the results into something that is 0usable and easily cooked, I.e., intestine casings.

Yusuf Islam – Where do the children play

A very poignant moving ballad. Just where will the children play? Someone took this ballad and added a slide show from a Laotian documentary that showed children who lived in abject poverty and did not have a place to play. A very moving use of this music. In most third world countries of Latin America, […]

Phoebe Snow – July 12, 1950 – April 26, 2011

I am sad today. She had a beautiful voice and a beautiful soul. She will be missed. In December 1975, she gave birth to a severely brain-injured daughter, Valerie. Snow resolved not to institutionalize her but instead care for her at home, which she did until Valerie died on March 18, 2007 at the age […]

I’m Trying to Insult Everyone.

Disclaimer: Anyone that posts anything on this blog that I consider off-topic will be blocked forever. What is this blog about anyway? Hell if I know. Will just type away and see where it goes. I you don’t feel insulted after reading this blog, I apologize. I will try harder next time to make sure […]

On The Beginning of Civilization

I have been reading a lot of caveman books lately.  I’ve read two novels from Jean Auel’s  Clan of the Cave Bear series, and I just finished the first book from Harry Harrison’s West of Eden series. There is something really deep down that resonates with me when I read these pieces of Stone age […]

Reflections on One Year of Sobriety

Well, what can I say about one year of continuous sobriety?  (Weekends and holidays too!) I’ll just say it in a vlog! Didn’t take me very long to find a use for the Trolololo song, eh? The video above is the conclusion of a video series of “Reflections on…“ at significant milestones in the process.  […]

An Open Letter To Animal Activists

I am not going to point my finger at the individual who did it, but I find it very distasteful and hope that you also find it equally distasteful. Today I saw an animal activist on FriendBurst stating that the Tsunami that killed several thousand Japanese was the earth’s payback for the Japanese whaling industry. […]

An Open Letter to Dustup

We have seemed to gotten off to the wrong foot with each other. I took issue with some of the things that you have said on blogs posted by people that I consider my friends. I have noticed recently that we are not that far apart from comments that I have seen you post on […]

FREELY GIVEN — CPC – Friendship/”Lost Get Found”

    FREELY GIVEN   If I could right every wrong; if I could soothe every hurt and make it go away; if I could mend each broken heart and wipe away every tear; if everything I had I could just give away; if I could be all things to all people, I’d glad do […]
