Yesterday, as I was occupying my Sunday with some book shopping, I happened to drive by a Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) location. There were protestors outside it, with signs like "KFC tortures chickens" and various other claims of KFC's indecency toward animals (namely, well,… Read More »

This particular rant will be yet another example of how we live in the Age of Inconsideration. I have to take a busy freeway to work. Its a freeway that has a specific lane designed for egresses to and from the exits, in addition to the usual merging lanes. Now, for those who don't realize,…

The other day I was at the QT, getting my coffee and... yes, cigarettes (still trying to quit, haven't yet succeeded but believe it or not, I HAVE cut back considerably). As I got back into my vehicle, I noticed a vision in my rearview mirror that froze me in my tracks (figuratively speaking, of… Read More »

Today on my way to work, I saw a woman trying to change a flat tire on the side of the freeway. It was the right side rear tire, and so she had to work close to the flow of oncoming traffic. The cars did slow down as they passed her by, but I didn't see anyone pull over to help. I thought of…

I'm sure I won't get a whole lot of support on this particular rant, but it is a subject that's affected me personally over the years. It concerns a prevalent pastime in this country that to this day astounds and disgusts me. Namely, the penchant for consuming alcohol. I can hear the… Read More »

I'm a bit ambivalent when it comes to Hope. The "great debate" concerning hope is best exemplified in the film The Shawshank Redemption. Andy, of course, the optimistic and wrongfully imprisoned hero of the film, takes a pro-hope stance, and it eventually sees him through to freedom.… Read More »

Long have I wondered if my Creative Writing degree would ever serve me in good stead. After having been out of college now for... 5 years (holy crap, has it been that long?), I'm still paying off my student loans and wondering if I hadn't wasted those years on a frivolous pursuit instead of… Read More »

I love watching Bill Maher's show on HBO. I love the open discussion, the back and forth debate free of cable network censorships and talking points. He has people on to discuss ideas, and the talk is frank and forthcoming. And of course, Bill's New Rules segment at the end of each show… Read More »
