I’m a Generation X. I don’t know what that means really but I do know that each generation is a little bit different. My generation, I feel, was unique. We grew up in such a time of technological change. When I was a young teenager, we got our first microwave. Phones were still dial andContinue reading “Times of Change”

Wrapping Paper
Writing comes fairly easy to me, wrapping does not. My present wrapping skills looks as if a 5-year-old did the wrapping, no disrespect to you 5-year-olds. But seriously I can’t wrap very well. I just usually settle for a bag with tissue paper covering the gift. But why do we wrap things, wrap gifts? WhatContinue reading “Wrapping Paper”
Rainbows and Blackholes
Rainbows full of the light spectrum of color, glistening moisture reflecting the sun’s rays to brighten the landscape from the ground to the sky. We look at rainbows with awe and wonder. We are mesmerized by its color, vibrancy and fanciful thoughts of finding the pot of gold at its end. We see rainbows inContinue reading “Rainbows and Blackholes”
Floundering
Floundering definition is to struggle or stagger helplessly or clumsily in water or mud: and or struggle mentally; show or feel great confusion. Yep, that’s me. Is that you too? I had an epiphany the other day. I was visiting my friend’s gravesite and was having a one-sided conversation. He just wouldn’t answer back. ButContinue reading “Floundering”
Upside Down
Where has common sense gone? On my last post, I talked about it being thrown out the window. I have purposely stayed away from politics and the like in my posts. I have tried to make subtle hints but, in this post, I am not going to be silent. According to the constitution, that “someone”Continue reading “Upside Down”
Common Sense Thrown Right Out the Window
Common sense (from Latin Sensus communis) is “knowledge, judgement, and taste which is more or less universal and which is held more or less without reflection or argument”. As such, it is often considered to represent the basic level of sound practical judgement or knowledge of basic facts that any adult human being ought to possess. I wantedContinue reading “Common Sense Thrown Right Out the Window”
Mirror Mirror on the Wall
Most of know what this is a reference to. A fairly calm, safe, innocent part of our childhood upbringing. There are always exceptions, but fairy tales and bedtime stories have been around for hundreds if not thousands of years. But with this story, I’m going to put my own spin on it. In the storyContinue reading “Mirror Mirror on the Wall”
Born to ?
I am positive that this is a question that humans have asked for thousands upon thousands of years. We have looked to the sky with reverence, awe, and bewilderment. We have always asked, “why was I born, what is it that I’m born to do”. I heard a very wise scientists talk about the mathematicalContinue reading “Born to ?”
Are You Stupid on Purpose
Look, we all do stupid things in our lives. I once crawled up the catwalk underneath the Prine Bridge outside of Twin Falls, Idaho. 1500 feet up with nothing but cables to hold on to, a slip, and a fall to the water below, a certain death. Was I being stupid on purpose? Absolutely. WhyContinue reading “Are You Stupid on Purpose”
Negative Nancy or Honest Abe
I do quite a bit of writing and sometimes I think I can come across as a little negative. But I also understand that just because something may appear or sound negative doesn’t mean it’s not true none the less. My point in writing is not to discourage or anger a person but to helpContinue reading “Negative Nancy or Honest Abe”
