Musicals

February 11, 2013

I mentioned Les Miserables in my last post because it’s been on my mind lately (with the new movie and all) and because it’s quite possibly the greatest musical ever made. I love musicals. I love music in general, as most people do, but I have a special fondness for musicals. There’s something… powerful… about […]

Walk with the wise and become wise; associate with fools and get in trouble. –Proverbs 13:20 Man, I am really bad at this blogging thing. I go on hyperactive writing sprees where my sole motivation is coffee and the self-delusional assurance that I’m accomplishing something. Somehow. I’m not sure what. But that’s where the coffee comes […]

Time to make some people angry…

Memes suck. The internet is one of mankind’s greatest achievements. We can connect with people all over the globe in a matter of seconds and minutes. We can expand our base of experience, knowledge and opinion. The internet allows for greater discussion than ever before possible. And like any powerful tool, it is just a tool […]

The Purpose of Social Media

Why do I bother? During the election, I let myself go on Facebook.  I posted a lot and stirred the pot as much as I could.  It’s possible that I’ve pissed off more than a few people in the process.  I want to apologize to those people: it was not my intent to offend or […]

Fact or Fiction?

Barack Obama or Mitt Romney.  Which do you trust? I’m referring to the websites, not the candidates.  At this point I could really care less about which one wins the election.  Romney’s comes off as a rich white guy who’s out of touch with society.  Obama comes off as an elitist who thinks he knows […]

This is why I write…

Well, not specifically this story, but generally this is the sort of thing that inspires me. I’ve been away for a while.  Again.  I’m sorry; life happens; I try to not let it happen, and I’m still working at it; and that’s all I have to say about that. But this post…  Wow. I think […]

Storytelling

I started Stephen King’s The Dark Tower series a few years ago, but never managed to get past the second book; not because it wasn’t good, I just didn’t have the time.  Now I find myself with long moments here and there, in between various work projects, but I don’t have the books with me.  […]

I’m on a Roll!

I’m transitioning into a new job, and for the past week, I’ve had time to surf the web and write.  This is why I’ve been able to post five or six new pages between three blogs.  At the same time, though, I’ve been building up a lot of thoughts about all kinds of topics, so […]

SOPA

There’s a lot of buzz about the ‘net concerning the Stop Online Piracy Act.  Take a moment to read.  It’s lengthy, I know, so I’ll summarize what I got out of it, but realize that I might be wrong.  If you’re a stickler for accuracy (like I try to be), I suggest reading it yourself. […]

Consider this Facebook post… I’ll re-post the text here, because it bears repeating: “What did liberals do that was so offensive to the Republican Party?  I’ll tell you what they did. Liberals got women the right to vote. Liberals got African-Americans the right to vote. Liberals created Social Security and lifted millions of elderly people […]
