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”

In Just a Minute

How many minutes are in a day? There are 1440 of them. How many minutes in a week? How about 10,080. Seems like a lot of minutes doesn’t it. How many minutes do we waste on dumb, insignificant stuff that has no real meaning or bearing in our lives. I’d say millions. And yet weContinue reading “In Just a Minute”

It ‘s All Subjective

So much of life is truly subjective. We believe things are truth and fact based on many factors. Those factors can include age, sex, religion, where you were raised and taught geographically in the world or within the United States. We are extremely diverse with opinions and matter of fact thinking within our own mindsContinue reading “It ‘s All Subjective”

The Mouse Ran up the Clock

Hickory dickory dock, the mouse ran up the clock, we all know the nursery rhyme. But do we know that we are living it out every single day? Here’s the meaning behind this cute nursery rhyme. The clergy used a simple trick to keep this clock functioning. They let mice run up and down theContinue reading “The Mouse Ran up the Clock”
