We have a problem in our country. It’s the same problem I have in my own personal house, which is that I do not have enough money to buy everything that I want. Of course, like our country, I would not have this problem if I could just look at my bank account and then […]

Consumer Abuse
Look, I know the point of capitalism is to take all of my money using any method possible, and if you think economic health is the end-all and be-all of life and country, well then I guess you are in the apparent majority, but seriously, enough is enough. This particular rant has nothing to do […]
Indivisible
Today is the day that we celebrate the birth of our country. 235 years ago, a bunch of dissidents signed a piece of paper stating that they were not going to take it anymore, and so this nation was (kind of) born. And it was a good start. We had a pretty good constitution, and […]
The Neighbors Left With Our Internet
Blogging in my phone is really annoying. It is hard to see, hard to push the right buttons, and autocorrect is always changing stuff without telling me. And yet, phone blog I must, because the neighbors left with the Internet. When I left for Florida a month ago, we had three neighbors living blow us […]
Holy Days and Holidays
Last week we seemed to have had an above average number of holidays. There was Passover, Holy Week and all that that entails, Easter, Earth Day, and of course, Tenor Dad’s Birthday. Over on the ol’ Facebook I noticed a variety of posts either enthusiastically promoting these days, or railing against them to anyone who […]
Why Does Whole Milk Cost More?
When I lived in Baltimore, I would go to the store, generally Safeway, and buy milk. It did not matter if it was whole milk, skim milk, or some variation of lowfat milk, it was all the same price. Now, over the past few years that price got higher and higher, which is also upsetting, […]
I Need an Impossible Job
So this blogging thing is not as lucrative as I was led to believe. Opera singing is good work if you can get it, but the gigs, while certainly picking up, are still a little far apart for my tastes. So that means for most of my time I am watching television, surfing the internet, […]
Facebook Tolerance
This is a plea for tolerance. This is a request for a return to civility. This is just me, tired of a certain kind of post on facebook. The irony is, what I wish people would stop posting, is requests for people to stop posting certain types of things on facebook. My hypocritical rant begins […]
Righteous Anger Flow Chart
People seem to be really angry these days, but I don’t think they know why. Luckily I am here to help. You see, most anger is born out of fear. Fear of the unknown, or fear or something you know about yourself, stuff like that. But we don’t realize this, and we think that all […]
Another Reason That I Am A Huge Idiot
I have done some stupid things in my life, but usually there is some way to fix them. Not this time. This time, I am just a huge idiot, and there is no redemption. For Christmas, Simone and I got an MP3 Dock/CD Player so that we could listen to music in the house, now […]
