Stuck Record
I’m old enough to remember vinyl records, 45’s, 33’s. I can still hear the scratch echoed sound the needle made through the speakers as it first made contact to the record grooves. I remember almost like a background static crackling as the record spun round and round on the turntable. The simple but pure amplification…
Learning to Breathe
From the moment we’re born we are learning to breathe. One big gulp of air into those new lungs and then it begins. We are air breathers until that last breath. But just as we need air to breathe in our lungs, we also need air to breathe in our souls. Too many of us…
A Boy and His Dog
This has been on my heart for some time to write. It’s a message to my son. I only have the one child, and I am forever grateful for him. He is a total blessing in my life. That being said, my boy has had a few pets in his life but never his own…
Round and Round
I know, I know, many times I come across preachy and sometimes negative but there really is just cause ya know. I was never that interested in history as a kid. I was just caught up in life around me, all the bells and whistles as technology changed faster and faster and that everything was…
Blahdidity Blah Blah Blog
It’s been quite some time since I’ve had the motivation to sit down and actually blog again. I can’t quite put my finger on the delay but some of it has to do with motivation. I had faithfully blogged almost weekly for over a year, maybe even two and this lapse has been around two…
Once I was a Child
As time goes by and age creeps up ever so quickly, I often reflect on years gone by. We don’t think much of the future when we’re children but now as an aging adult I sure do think often of my youth. As children we live in the moment, care free, simple, constant learning. We…
Mirror Mirror
Mirror, mirror on the wall. I’m almost positive there is a mirror in almost every household. What it’s for? It is to see a “reflection” of yourself. It allows us to see ourselves outside of our own eyes. But understand, the reflection that one sees is not how the world sees you. A mirrored reflection…
Life is like a Yo-Yo
Most of us know what a yo-yo is. It has changed over the years but so have we as a people. Life has changed dramatically just in my lifetime. I remember our first microwave. I remember TV being only certain channels and turning off at night with the star bangled banner and then static. I…
Cracker Jacks
Do you remember the molasses and caramel flavored popcorn in a red, white and blue box? The familiarity of seeing the little sailor boy and his dog on the outside packaging. The anticipation of the sweet treat on our tongues. And of course, the excitement of dumping the entire box out on the counter to…
Treadmill of Nullity
What is life? Simple but profound question. It’s been asked countless times and answered in countless ways. People write books about it, teach about it, hypothesize about it. I’m no different in sharing my own thoughts about it. One of the masses with a pin prick concept of a thought. I truly cannot articulate to…
