why I get my weather from Accuweather:)

you won't get this....

hey if you switch the first letters (ok actually letter sounds) in the phrase 'bite me' it sounds like 'might be'.....

wisdom of the mac man

“You know why you have two ears and one mouth? So you can listen twice as much as you talk.” –  Bernie Mac

deep late night - early morning thought(s)

First let me say this was written whilst heading out the door, and also when I was on the road, and wasn't fine tuned prior to posting, so some wording may not be very articulate. But as I was driving during the wee hours of the night/morning I dictated the following using my phone.

I was just looking through some old letters from a friend, and saw they used the phrase 'honesty is the best policy', it was used in regards to said person and myself being honest with one another.
My point is this, I took a lil time to see how honest I truly am, and I was at a loss to be able to recall the last time I actually lied, was dishnest or renigged on anything (whether something I said, professed, promised or otherwise) and I just cannot find such being done by me.
Now don't take me wrongly, I am not perfect or a saint or anyone special, I just am honest.

Like how I talk, I say what I mean and mean what I say.
Like the phrase 'I love you', I have NEVER in my entire life once said that and not been able to in time still say it and mean it. Which might be a true anomaly in today's world. For when people fall out of love or get divorced or whatever the scenario is, they usually just part ways and or separate contact with the person they previously professed their love to/for.
Now to me, 'I love you' is my word, my commitment of my very being when I say it.
So although the parameters of the 'love' may evolve or be 'reclassified', no one I ever selected to have my love offered to ever stopped being loved in whatever capacity to me.
Ah maybe that makes me a fool, or naive, but as I am not flippant with things I say especially when it comes to dealings pertaining to and of the heart, I never lie when I speak from my heart.
Maybe being so naive means I don't walk in step with what appears to be a large portion of society nowadays, but hey - how can you live with yourself, and sleep at night if your words have an expiration date/time to them?
My humble advice is this, if you tell someone you love them, and they don't end up being able to spend their life with you (and vice versa) do NOT let them be removed from your life - cherish the friendship that should have been the basis for that love, and keep that friendship going.
For if in a relationship you for whatever reason(s) can no longer say 'I love you', though it may be sad and probably rather confusing, if you 'close out' a friendship because the love is gone or can't be shown, then what love was there if a friendship cannot remain???
Sometimes time is the key that unlocks the stupidity that ensues when a relationship ends, and one can see past such pretentious excuses as 'what would others think', or 'how would it look..", or a million other lame faux rationalizations. You can never have too many good and true friends who care for and about you and your life. For if you pick and choose friends for any other reasons than for the friendship that can be shared, you don't have friends, you merely are either trying to 'fit in' and put on airs by the company you keep, or perhaps it is fear, or well the realization that you need to mend fences that you are hesitant to do so. But it is never to late to call, text, email, drop by for a visit, or however reconnect with friends, the only thing that may be an obstacle is your refusal to reach out and do so....

Disclaimer : This piece is NOT applicable if a relationship was ended due to abuse, dishonesty or anything that would not allow for a healthy friendship to be viable.

what's with the videos?

Ok lately I seem to be posting a bit more videos than in the past and maybe you wonder, what's the deal?
Well it's like this, music is the soundtrack of my life, always has been and no doubt - probably always will be.
I truly appreciate music, of so many gendres.
And maybe lately music is even more so prevalent in my life, for as I have a chance to rediscover many things about myself and who I am and who I choose to be, well as a wise person once told me, 'it is what it is' - I guess sums it up best....
Ok they told me that on multiple occasions, but it sounds more profound to state it as "once told me".....

did you know?

Did you know that the No. 1 song in the US back in Nov. 1992 was "I Will Always Love You" performed by Whitney Houston?

I knew it :)
Maybe a good memory of good times is a curse, or is it?
I just know this - a memory will live forever so long as at least one person carries it and keeps it alive.

a good day....

Call me psychic, but I know that when it's done I'll be saying that today was a good day...

listen to the lyrics and THINK about it...

Gone fishing

GONE FISHING
for the truth in the stream of life...be back...

needs work...

when you can't sleep, sketch something uninteresting, works for me....well at least I have something to work on tonight...

 

new word for the day

New word I invented for today - snarcasm, I define it as to act in a very obstinate way.
ie, If you don't want to answer that question just say so, your snarcasm won't get you very far in life :)

Yes I KNOW you could just say sarcastic and snarky, but what kind of person would I be if I didn't try to add to the lexicon of the English language?

If.......

If dreams were money I would be very rich. And if happiness were money - I'd give it all away to those who deserve it:)

where my head and heart is at...

reflecting a little bit....

Things get simpler with age (at least for me in some respects), like I realize I am grateful for what I have in my life. And what I don't have - I obviously don't need.
Maybe not the most profound observation or epiphany, but it is what it is.....

the pulse of things

I see not many have taken the poll I've had up about this blog, and that many are 'questioning their sanity' is the response chosen by about half of those who took the poll.
So is that a good thing or a bad thing??
If you haven't - could you please take the second necessary to take the poll, ok?
And - thank you:)

tasty

Nothing like an Italian Hot Sausage Sub from Pizza Joe’s!

where ya been???

Oh I have been online, just not much as the real world is calling and I must attend to some things.
But I have an ever spinning mind that has much to post on a more regular basis soon:)

lame new logo

As usual I am testing out a new (somewhat lame) logo.
This one as thrown together using the newest 'font' I created.....

temporarily sabbatical a.ka. writers block

I seem to have temporarily hit a writer's block, due to some personal matters, so I will take a short sabbatical and try to recharge my batteries....

don't be inflexible to change.....

'every new idea, every great idea when it first began was in a minority of one' - Anthony De Mello

free will - we all have it:) Let others exercise theirs:)

I took me all the way to this point in my life to realize that the best way to be a friend is not to necessarily tell a friend what you think is best for them, but to instead listen & be supportive and available if/when things may not as YOU might have wanted for them. For the greatest lessons learned are when we make mistakes, learn from them and thereby don't repeat them:)

time out of time.....

Focus on the here and now and make the most of each day you are given:-)
Just think - even the past was once your future :)

cardiac flexibility

'Blessed are the hearts that can bend, they shall never be broken.' - Albert Camus

poetic injustice....

I believe that each day becomes another verse that is the poetry of your life.

I am am still trying to find a rhyme for "today I took waiting in line patiently and gracefully".....

hip hop flop...

Back in the day I was hugely into hip hop (which started out being called rap).
One of my favorites was Ice-T.
I tried to emulate him, I even tried to go my the emcee name of Snapple.....

Here's another installment of my joke writings from my childhood.

This one is from the 2nd grade.

Fish travel in schools, except for the ones playing hooky :)

If you short change a friend, you pay a huge penalty in pettiness...

Saturday night

Watching 'Pulp Fiction' for like the 400th time

impatient....

Goals are good to have in life, but I am so tired of waiting to become a more patient person.
Ohhh, now I get it :)

feeding the soul....

I periodically fast, and as bad of as pun as it may be, those days seems to go so, so slow....

from the oasis of life...

Honesty if the best policy.
And unrequited love is like a mirage.............

pivot point...

I rarely use logic as a fulcrum in leveraging what I say.
I speak from where it counts....

lights, camera, action....

Life is like a movie, how it plays out depends on who you let collaborate in writing the script...

friends with benefits

I have a number of friends with benefits....
For I benefit from the differences they have brought into my life :)

my diagnosis...

The truth can sometimes hurt, but a lie is a chronic pain....

moving forward...

The old adage that "when one door in life closes, another opens" is very true.
Just don't get your fingers get caught in the closing door.

I select category #1

'You see, a person of my acquaintance used to divide people into three categories: those who would prefer to have nothing to hide than have to lie, those who would rather lie than have nothing to hide, and finally those who love both lies and secrets.' - Albert Camus

perk your ears....

To truly be a good listener, you have to shut off your assumptions first...

every which way but loose....

Follow your heart, it is your built in GPS that will direct you to true happiness....

your inactions speak volumes...

If there is no true trust in a friendship, there is no true friendship....

the teacher becomes the student?

I am so easily amused.
I got a voicemail this morning from a friend I worked with many years ago.
She said, "Hi Scott I see you've been getting a lot of rain back in Beaver Falls, and just wanted to call so you don't think I am a fair weather friend..."

I think I have competition when it comes to doling out friendly sarcasm:)

rich in other ways...

Maybe to some people I don't have much to show for my life so far, but I can honestly say - I have nothing to hide:)

2 for 1....

A true friend is one soul in two bodies. - Aristotle

Making a good first impression will ensure not having second thoughts later...

question of the day.....

Life is a challenge, do you accept it?

Feeling down?
Here's a cure - you can't feel sorry for yourself if you live life extending compassion, kindness and understanding towards others....

Here's another installment of my joke writings from my childhood.

This one is from the 6th grade.

Why are evil ghosts out of shape?
The don't like to be exorcised.

what ur dreams reveal about you?

I had a dream last night in which I went to my Dr.s for a follow up visit.
A very beautiful new Dr. (or maybe Nurse Practitioner) said, "Mr. Williams could you please strip down", which I did.
Then she reached into her labcoat photo and took out her phone and took a few pictures.
As she ran out the front door, a nurse said, "Scott the Doctor will see you now"....

actions speak louder than words...

Kinesics is the interpretation of body language.
I have always been into studying such, as it is like playing charades with others.

trying to remember to forget...

A wise person once said/wrote, 'Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.'
Using that thought I am trying to forget the first time I fell in love....LOL

is that even a word?

Live to the fullest, or to it's foolest - the choice is yours...

that does not compute....

(True story & for those who stayed awake in English class) - got a call from a friend who was panic stricken as her antivirus reported she had two infections. I rushed down, updated her virus definitions, ran another scan and explained to her that it was just 2 false positives due to her anitivirus being not up to date - which you could say was a double negative...

happily never after...

(true story)..I've been trying to console a friend who is going through a divorce. This friend really has endured a lousy relationship and deserves every bit of alimony they may be entitled to. I tried to make light of the whole harrowing matter by saying that instead of feeling bad for their soon to be 'ex', or guilty about seeking such (alimony), just consider the alimony as a post 'marital aid' :)

Bored?

If you are REALLY bored, I mean really bored, leave me a voicemail on my Google Voice > (443) 327-9586

driving tips for life....

Honesty is a two way street.
Deceit is a dead end...
And misleading someone leaves you liable for the head on collision you cause...

is democracy hypocrisy?

Nietzsche said many insightful (as well as controversial) things, one particular one I always found semi wise and a bit sardonic, "Insanity in individuals is something rare - but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule."

me in the 'funnies'...

A very bad drawing but it just illustrates how I am feeling right now.

As a side note : Yes at times I like to draw/sketch - like once I was sketching my girlfriend in the nude, but she became uncomfortable, so I put my clothes back on...JUST KIDDING :)

I text, there4 I am....?

If someone's chat status lists them as 'idle', does that mean they are making idle conversation?

high tech birds

After all the rain last night it was a sight to behold this morning, as the sun was shining, the sky is beautiful, the birds were tweeting, in fact one sent me a friend request...

this page not available????

Geeky analogy - Friends are like the links of the web that is your mind.
Some turn out to be 404 errors...

precious metal wisdom...

Silence may be golden, but a conversation with a good friend is platinum:)

I need no straight jacket?

I respect the institution of marriage.
I guess no woman has felt I needed to be institutionalized...lol

struck the wrong chord...

Here's another installment of my joke writings from my childhood.

This one is from the 6th grade.

What musicians are the best fishermen?
The bass player...

The more good memories you create with others, the more you leave behind :)

Running from the truth is a race you will never win...

we shall be free....

I am not a huge country music fan, but this song really says a lot....it speaks to the unlimited possibilities we as people possess and can make happen if we choose to:)

cutting in line?

It is noble to put others happiness before yours, but always temper overdoing such, otherwise you will end up last in line...

check urself b4 u wreck urself...

A 'reality check' never bounces.....

pyromania....

The more one burns bridges in their lives, the fewer become the roads to happiness....

fishy humor....

Here's another installment of my joke writings from my childhood.

This one is from the 3rd grade.

Why don't crabs share?
They are shellfish...

zzzzzzz................

Those who are afraid to dream AND follow those dreams, are just sleepwalking through life....

morbidly true story...

This is a true story...
I was at the funeral for a co-workers husband many years ago, and I was talking with some friends at the funeral home, and the priest who gave a small talk was standing close by and overheard me say, "I am not a morning person.."
To which he out of context took me aside and really laid into me for being so crass and cruel...
After finally calming him down and explaining I meant MORNING not MOURNING...well he gave a small fake laugh and slunk away....

who cares....,

I have never met anyone who practiced apathy, only those who have perfected it.... :-?

some of the wisdom of Edison...

Thomas A. Edison had a great mind...here are some examples of such in his own words :
* I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.
* I never did a day's work in my life. It was all fun.
* Just because something doesn't do what you planned it to do doesn't mean it's useless.
* The chief function of the body is to carry the brain around.
* What you are will show in what you do.
* Your worth consists in what you are and not in what you have.

Memories....

This is a hastily put together video of my cat Ro'bn (a.k.a. The Snake) who passed away Aug. 2010, she was 18.

Everything Is Beautiful

When life sometimes gets me down, this is one of the songs that lifts me up and confirms to me that even though I am rather old-fashioned and a bit naive in my thinking that there is beauty in all people, and that there is much to enjoy.
No I am not preachy or overly religious, but rather I draw from this song the fact that people are people, and there is beauty in all of us...

Am I like Scooby Doo?

Life is a mystery and I keep following the wrong clues....

shaken not stirred...

I've come to the conclusion that here are two types of memory.
ie, a true friend writes about you with permanent marker in their brain, a false friend uses the etch-a-sketch part of their brain about you :)

Honest confessions

there's only one thing I hate and I am bad at....goodbyes

Some men have poor taste.....

It's just my humble opinion that ALL women are beautiful.
It's just that some men are just lousy judges.....

Life like the movies....

I wish life had subtitles.....

Litigious humor - sort of

Have you ever been so in love, I mean truly in love, that you just want to scream and shout and tell the whole world?
If so, pls contact me so you can appear as a witness in court for my disturbing the peace case.

JK - it is a bad attempt at joke....and a successful attempt I might add...

the shape of things...

Sometimes you can get caught in a love triangle.
I am so unlucky I once got caught in a love pentagon...

Mother's Day

For my Mom. I wish you could take a victory lap on this Mothers' Day, for you so deserve such. You have been an inspiration (along with Dad), an outstanding mother to 3 sons, a good wife to a very grateful husband, twice a cancer survivor - so much so that you dedicated many years volunteering to counsel women who'd recently had mastectomies performed.
You (as well as Dad) taught me so much, especially to treat people with respect, and that a person is not what you see, but rather who they truly are when you take the time to learn and know about them.
I could write on for many many paragraphs about the amazing life you have lived, all you have done and all that you have brought to so many lives, but I will instead close by saying thank you for allowing me to call such a special woman my Mom.
I Love You.
==============================================
To all the Moms out there. I wish you a very Happy Mother's Day. From my heart I thank you, and want you to know that parents are THE most vital means to make the world better, for you help erase prejudices, and all the other ignorances that must be eradicated. I know my parents taught me so much, and that one of the most vital lessons was that people are people, and that we aren't different, we are only unique:)
I can't begin to say I know how hard a job being a Mom is, but as you know - it is a labor of love.
My hope for you is simple - may you live a long life, filled with happiness, good health, peace, patience and that may you only shed tears of joy.
A good Mom starts out being a parent, but also ends up being a lifetime friend.

Carved in stone.....

I have always been thoughtful as to what I say and how I say it.
ie, I have never used the words 'I love you' unless I truly meant it.
Anyone who I have ever told them 'I love you' I do and always will, and have that etched into my heart.
But sadly some people seem to say such things and have written it with an etch-a-sketch on their hearts.
All joking and sarcasm aside - always live by that old saying to, mean what you say and say what you mean.

back to the furture...

Most people in their childhood had imaginary friends.
As I child I had such, and I also had an imaginary enemy named Nostra-dumabss, who used to always tell me, "I don't like you, But I see that one day you will share your thoughts for the whole world to read..."

art imitating life?

nothing to laugh at...

Self deprecating humor is being able to make fun of one's self.
Self defecating humor is the unfunny act of laughing at others for cruel or self serving reasons.

bad yoke....

Another installment from my writings from when I wrote jokes as a child.

This one was from the 5th grade.

Why is a chicken sitting on an egg like an ax?
Because a hen can hatchet.

The ONLY real guaranteed aphrodisiac is being with the one you love (and who loves you).

common sense/cents?

That latest tune stuck in my cranium is 'Price Tag' by Jessie J (Featuring B.o.B)

If you really listen to the lyrics you can see how vanity is insanity and and that it is also driven by fear and jealousy.
I can only tell you what my Dad taught me which is to be the best YOU that YOU can be - no matter what you are doing.

free your mind and your heart will follow

Jim Hendrix once wrote, "I'm the one who's got to die when it's time for me to die, so let me live my life the way I want to."

the sum of who we are...

How you approach what or who you face, is compromised with what you stand for and carry with you...

A closed heart is an open wound.
It is never too late to heal thy self.

Bad grammar - honest definition

There is no such thing as low self esteem, it is actually no self esteem.

And hidden within the preceding is a double negative....my apologies...

should have been a fortune cookie writer.....

Making a fool of someone reveals how much of a fool you truly are.

my latest journey begins with one step....

I am in the midst of taking a huge step in my life.
It is sort of a humongous leap of faith.
How it will end up I can't say, but I just wanted to post this for posterity.

There is no punch line, or bad pun, or pseudo wisdom, just an honest confession.

I know there are a handful of regulars who visit this blog, and I thank you.
I ask that you wish me the best in this new path I am carving....

Will it make you go blind?

To lie or mislead another is a sick form of mental mastrubation.

Scott's Lounge Android App (repost)

Hey, want to get the Scott's Lounge Android app (it's free)?

Or you can check for the latest version here. Link will open in a new window :)

If I leave here tomorrow... (update)

As we never know what the future holds.
I have prepared for such a worst case scenario, as I have several months worth of posts 'scheduled' and in the queue, so even if I am not around, my ramblings, thoughts, bad puns, and many other indescribable postings will carry on in my absence....

you can hear a pin drop...

I had a dream last night where I was on stage at a comedy club, and I said :
"I heard if you smile all the time, it makes people think you are up to something. But then again if you walk around with a poker face, people think you are Lady Gaga...."

(it gets worse)
Then I said I do impressions, and someone in the crowd chided me by saying, "Ok *expletive* do someone", to which I said, "I am working on some, and hope to one day be able to say I do Winona Ryder very well"....

Balancing act...

I think people can limit themselves in their thinking too often.
Life is to be lived, and I think people who always take everything in moderation are too excessive in such oxymoronical approach.

what will be the reaction...

I am neither greater than or less than anyone else.
We are all equal and yet unique.

musical update....

Correction, the latest song stuck in my head is 'Rolling in the Deep' by Adele :)

stuck in my ear canal....

The song I can't get out of my head right now is 'Panama' by Van Halen...

songs in the key of life...

Irving Berlin wrote the song "A Pretty Girl Is Like a Melody", which explains why I love music....

They'll smile to your face, and.....

A true friend will always have your back, a fake friend twists the blade they stick in your back...

One drink 2 many or not enough....

The intake of too much alcohol can lead to disinhibition, which leads to misinformation being spewed.
In a nutshell, the above actions can result in the exercise in futility of backpedaling on what you may have said (whilst inebriated)...
Don't drink and drive, don't drink and text, don't drink and reach for something in the back seat - just drink, and only worry about having enough money for such (set up a tab if you are a regular at your favorite watering hole).....

Ruff experiences...

Ever hear that old one, 'once bitten twice shy"....man I really need a rabies shot as I just keep messin' with the wrong dog....

dem bones...

The skeleton of an adult human is comprised of 206 bones.
But a little known fact is some have 207 bones, that extra bone is jealousy.

The only anomaly about me is a have an unusually large funny bone.....but not everyone can see it :-?

Call the thought police...

Do stupid people that go into police protective custody get put in the witless protection program?

The less you share of yourself, the more you give away about who you are....

What is a double negative you ask?
It is a phrase containing two negatives.

It is not a blood type....

homeless.....

They say home is where your heart is....
I was recently and inexplicably evicted...

My experience has been....

"don't wear your heart on your sleeve, as I have many bullet wounds to prove that the target is usually missed with me"....

biting humor....

From the time I was able to write, I have cataloged so much in my life, and this is the first installment of such. I recently discovered some rather old 'jokes' I wrote as a child.
This one was written in the 4th grade.

What do you call Captain Hook when Dracula bites him?
A vampirate.

swimming with the sharks.....

Just know that as you sail through life, that even if you push me overboard in a friendship, I will keep swimming no matter how choppy the waters may be, just so I can follow you to make sure your cruise is a smooth one...and that I will always be there if you need help.....

In through the outbox...

Ok to respond to a few emails I have received.

Yes
No
Is that even possible?
Yes, I did post that
NO, absolutely not

My clean and honest answer to a dirty mind...

The famous Zen koan* (*philosophical riddle) asks, "What is the sound of one hand clapping?"

Just know that whilst you are reading this blog, it was created with the sound of one hand typing.

keep at arm's length...

The old adage is that one should, 'keep your friends close and your enemies even closer'.
That being said, many must consider me neutral....?

crime and bad pun-ishment...

People who duck giving straight answers, commit a fowl in my book....

The sound of one hand typing....

I have an exercise to offer for those who seek to take a step (or another step) on the path to enlightenment.
Here it is :
Write a one paragraph piece that would describe yourself to someone who does not know you (or even for someone who DOES think they know you).
But here's the catch, you must write this without using the following : I, my, me, mine.

stop and smell the flowers?

Random observations : The other day I thought, "man the way I repel women I should bottle my sweat and sell it as 'man-away', OR I could NOT buy the 2 for $1 deodorant at the Dollar Store...."

Drinking music anyone?

The latest song stuck in my head is 'Raise Your Glass' by Pink.

If nothing else, any song with the line : 'So raise your glass if you are wrong
In all the right ways' and a decent groove is cool in my book.

Wisdom from Sun Tzu

The book "The Art of War" By Sun Tzu truly contains so much wisdom. If one reads it with an open mind, you can extrapolate knowledge that can be applicable to even non 'war' situations.
Just a few genius insights from this fascinating book :
"Supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting."
"The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting."

Things I couldn't make up if I tried

From the I couldn't make this up department, my Dad once told my Mom when they were dating that although he really cared for her, that "he didn't know how things might go as bachelors run in his family"......

A shot to the dome...

The difference between confusion and delusion is one you admit to experiencing, whereas the other one others can point out to you...

Pending legal action...

I may have to take Ke$ha to court.
For I believe a line from her song "Tik ToK" was based upon me.
In the song she sings, "Before I leave brush my teeth with a bottle of Jack", she based that on the fact that I used to floss with a 5th of Wild Turkey...

Song stuck in my head....

The song stuck on replay in my head right now is Down (Candlelight remix) by Jay Sean....

Collateral damage avoidance...

THINK before you speak, for people who are always shooting their mouths off, usually end up with self inflicted wounds...

It's not what you have....

Materialism is about what you have (and what you may think you should have), Compassion is about what you have to offer others.

Monday's word of the day - mutiny

The word of the day for Monday is mutiny, which means "a rebellion against legal authority".
And as you are the captain of the ship, that is your life, chart a course for happiness, and let no one commit a mutiny that will divert you from reaching such your destination :)

whose next?

As my many posts reflect, I am not always the most savvy person.
Like when other children were playing 'doctor' and discovering the human body, I was the one in charge of taking insurance information and doing all the paperwork.

Think about it

If I could build a time machine that really worked, you wouldn't be reading this right now

Observations

You know how some women see a guy and say "He's hot"...they see me and think "God he's tepid"......

Working for a living....

Never get hurt at work, for in my experience most Insurance companies will send you to Dr.s who have taken the HYPOCRITICAL oathe...

Be willing to take a chance...

To be afraid to take a chance sometimes, is like wishing you'd win the lottery without buying a ticket.....
because by taking a chance you can sometimes also be giving yourself a chance....

Word of the day - misconception

Today's word is misconception, which means a mistaken thought, idea, or notion.
It is NOT the name of a stripper, least I don't think it is..?
Or maybe it might be the name of a woman who is VERY fertile...?

Word of the day - myopic

Today's word of the day is myopic, it can be used to mean narrow minded.
But I am sure there is someone online who thinks it means a photo of someone named 'myo'

The bigger picture...

Life is short so - Sometimes rather than apologize, just try to empathize:)

Random thought, Your heart is the barometer of your soul, and I'm hoping that my current high pressure front doesn't move off to the east...

Maybe because it's Easter time....

Living alone can suck, but it gives you plenty of time to think up ideas. Like I just decided to improvise and have an Eggo hunt, it only took me 20 minutes before I thought to look in the freezer

Not up for the part..

In my youth a friend told me to audition for a part in an 'adult' film, but I didn't get the part, as an oriental gentleman named Hung Way Lo eventually got the role.....

Disclaimer : this is NOT a true story, but rather just a humorous thought, ok? :-)

Thoughts

Sometimes a rainy day is the best time to reflect on life .

Heaven scent....

Random observation : The other day I thought, "man the way I repel women I should bottle my sweat and sell it as 'man-away', OR I could NOT buy the 2 for $1 deodorant at the Dollar Store...."

Just thinking...

Making flippant remarks doesn't always make you a verbal gymnast :)

Just the facts....

"I have a hard time giving people who use alot of double talk a second chance"...

never ending....

Thought of the day, "Life is not finite, only the bodies we are now using are such"

cautious driving ?

To forget your past is like driving with no side or rearview mirrors :)

Kharmic pondering..

Kharmic thought for the night, "Those who are quick to judge others, would be the first to be picked to serve on a jury of fools...."

Not always 100% effective...

"Lieing is like using a condom with a hole in it, both usually spawn the least intended consequences"....

School daze....

I actually am not quite the dunce I may appear to be in my writings. It is a very little known fact that I went to a very well known medical school for a year.
But after the girl attending that school dumped me I stopped going.
No, I wasn't a student or enrolled, I just enjoyed spending time with parts of the student body:)

A spot in the sun?

If we each are but a grain of sand on the beach that is life, I hope it is a females only nude beach:)

Some people hear voices in their heads....

Song I can't get out of my head right now is 'TiK ToK' by Ke$ha....

It's not all bad, as I think of it as a mental metronome.....

keep it simple

A wise person once said, 'brevity is the soul of wit', so I better make this short :)

It can only happen to me...

You know how some women see a guy and say "He's hot"...they see me and think "God he's tepid"......

Time flies....

My twisted slant on life as I get older : back when I was much younger I used to hear old people say, "You kids are all selfish it's just me, me, me".....and yet now everything seems to be all I, I, I...iPhone, iPod, iPad....... :)

Sexually or Textually frustrated??

Things I never understood, why is it called a 'one night stand'? Maybe it's just me but wouldn't the trajectory generally make it more of a 'one night horizontal'?

This just in (to my mind)..

Exercise is great for your well being, running from your troubles is an exercise in futility....

A conflict of language

why are short tempered people almost always long winded?

Memories of English class...

Why it pays to never get caught sleeping in class (and this IS a true story), In 7th grade my English teacher woke me from a sound sleep, and asked me if I knew what a palindrome was, to which I said, "Um yes", so she asked me to give two examples, to which I sleepily said, "Um.....I and eye"....

Only I would think of this...

I'm just wondering....if two teams of midgets played hockey, would both teams spend the whole game on a penalty kill as they'd be short handed?

Quick quip....

Did you ever stop and think that selfish people DO share one thing.....their ignorance :-?

Verbal malparctice....

From the you are going to groan when you read this department, "Why is it that you get taken to the emergency room by the paramedics but never get seen by a paradox? Usually it's just a nurse and a resident or maybe one Doc????"

Short, but not so sweet..

A wise person once said, 'brevity is the soul of wit', so I better make this short :)

Non-sequitor...

'The love of a good woman will keep a man forever young'......man I must have gotten the wrong fortune cookie...JUST KIDDING, for I believe that is true and decided to share it (and no I didn't actually get a fortune cookie that said that)

It's all in the company you keep

Always remember, "when in the company of fools, please refer to me as Mr. President"

Deep thinking in a shallow world...

I could be wrong - but, I bet the first person to use the cliche 'into every life a lil rain must fall' was Noah....

Upon further review....

I like people who tell me they 'are high on life', it always makes me think maybe I should switch from Raisin Bran.....

raincoats?

"Abstinence can sometimes be a good practice, for those who don't like practicing there are prophylactics."

Ponderings

Things I ponder, "I've heard it said that it's a fine line between genius and insanity, and yet there are always long shopping lines on the day after Thanksgiving....??"

Observations

Sometimes a rainy day is the best time to reflect on life .

gone fishin'.....

'life is like fishing, all the women in my life have practiced catch and release with me'...

Observations

I hate doing laundry, it's like going to the bathroom, at least you don't have anything to fold in there....

stick 2 your guns...

Always be true to who you are. Be it in your beliefs, faith, morales or whatever you may stand for, otherwise if you don't 'stick to your guns' for such, you become a helpless target for ignorance.

The not so good effects of alcohol

One time whilst having a few drinks in a bar, my buddy walked in and announced sadly how his girlfriend had dumped him for another guy. He was all shaken up and turned to me and said, "What does he have that I don't", to which I very drunkenly yelled, "Ah forget her dude, it ain't the size of the rise it's how much ocean that you got..."

What's on my agenda

My plans for the week : 1) Buy a van, 2) Get a bumper sticker that says "If this vans a rockin' call the weather channel and tell them hell has frozen over"

Song I can't get out of my head

'Sweet Surrender' by Sarah McLachlan
Check out the video for it at YouTube

standing in line...

I've heard it said that it's a fine line between genius and insanity, and yet there are always long shopping lines on the day after Thanksgiving....

be true....be you...

Never give up on those you care about, and never give in to those who don't care about you...

imbibe at ur own risk..

The 4 most dangerous words in life I have learned are when you and your friends have been out drinking, and the drunkest one says (slurs), "I have an idea..."

My experiences

I could have become a household name back in 2000 if I had gone through with legally changing my name to "Hanging Chad', but instead an old English teacher convinced me to change it to "Dangling Participle" instead. But I eventually switched back to my given name as my friend at 7-11 always greeted me with "Hello Mr. Dingledangle Particle....

Strange but true

Many people don't know it but I played two roles in the Clint Eastwood movie 'The Good, The Bad and The Ugly'.......

going in circles...

Finding true love is like finding a good parking spot at the mall.
I am still circling the parking lot......

nice view from up here...

A true friend can see the best in you even on your worst days.

flighty thought...

If man were intended to fly, he'd have invented transparent shoes to save time with the security screenings....

moving violation..?

The path of least resistance is never met at the Department of Motor Vehicles....

ladies :)

Man may have been the model, but women are the actual production model:)

my motto....

"Falling is painless, but landing can hurt..."

kiss my grass...

One of my phrases when I worked in landscaping was, "I have miles and miles to mow before I sleep"....

Spring?

I guess spring must be coming after all as my easter lily is blooming

isle of paradise....

The old saying goes, "no man is an island".
But I am an isthmus.

relatively speaking...

A few years back I was talking with a friend, and she said, "I hear you are a great uncle".
To which I sheepishly said, "Well I wouldn't go so far as to say that.."
She interrupted me to say, "No I mean I heard your niece recently had a baby, so that'd make you a Great Uncle..."

the co$t of health care

Laughter is the best medicine, but my HMO won't cover it.

team player?

I used to hear that 'there's no I in team', then why is there 'me' in team??

Which way?

Where you are at and where you want be in life, sometimes requires asking for directions.

Love of life

I once dated a girl who said she loved me more than life itself.
But then again she was suicidal.

So this is spring?

Thought of the Day

I am like a fountain of knowledge who had the water turned off.....

Bad audition

All the world's a stage and we are merely players.
But I didn't get a speaking role.....

Cats n' people

People are good pets for cats to have.

Finally....

Well I as I 'finally' am starting to utilize social networking more, I thought it'd be a good adjunct to throw up a blog to compliment these activities and services.
