  • A great list…

    If you want to enrage a conservative, I suggest saying the following: 1. A Socialist wrote the Pledge of Allegiance. 2. Jesus healed the sick and helped the poor, for free. 6. The Founding Fathers were liberals. 7. Fascism is a right-wing trait. 10. Reagan raised taxes eleven times as President. 11. Reagan legalized abortion…

  • The outlook is blank?

    I went to look up my horoscope for my birthday and this is what came up.  I’ve not altered aside from cropping it to fit into the blog.  I think it’s freaking hilarious that it comes up blank. How do I take this?  I can look at it as the stars don’t know what’s going…

  • Gods and Monsters

    I was having a discussion the other night about religion, not something I’m usually prone to do as I have some pretty radical views on how I think all religions should act.  One of the things that had me a little confused last night, was in my talking with someone I was told that even…

  • Politics – Why?

    So I’m normally a person who votes their mind not a party. This year I was looking over my ballot and I discovered I was voting along a specific party line and not necessarily my mind. I had to take a step back and do some research on why I was voting along a specific…

  • Politics or how I became a non-caring part of the population

    I was at my local pub last night trying to avoid any and all talks of politics.  It went well for the first few hours, but for some reason a bar full of drunk fools decided to watch the repeat of the presidential debate last night.  Something I’ve learned is you never mix bars with…

  • The only debate on Intelligent Design that is worthy of its subject

    Moderator: We’re here today to debate the hot new topic, evolution versus Intelligent Des— (Scientist pulls out baseball bat.) Moderator: Hey, what are you doing? (Scientist breaks Intelligent Design advocate’s kneecap.) Intelligent Design advocate: YEAAARRRRGGGHHHH! YOU BROKE MY KNEECAP! Scientist: Perhaps it only appears that I broke your kneecap. Certainly, all the evidence points to…

  • Golf… How do I love / hate thee…

    In the last seven days I’ve broken three clubs. Since coming home to Seattle I’ve broken four clubs. So far every time I’ve gone to the interbay golf course I’ve broken a club. Maybe it’s time to re-examine my golf hobby.

  • So very tired

    I’ve not been able to sleep for the last few nights, my brain has gone into overdrive and I can’t seem to stop it.  I don’t think it has to do with the time of year, although it could very well have something to do with a life changing event that happened just a short…

  • People, Friends and others…

    I keep thinking to myself I like my friends, and you know what? I do like my friends. I have different types of friends though… I have friends who live in the neighborhood, others who are far away (Ellen, Arrrr!) and then there are others who’ve I just met and I get the impression they…

  • Mmm new lighting

    I do love the smell of new lighting in the morning.  I’ve just been replacing the old brass lighting fixtures in my new apartment with some swish track lighting.  As a lighting geek I like the ability to focus the lighting in my spaces to highlight certain areas and draw attention away from others.
