“If He Hollers” Racial Relations in America

July 29, 2009

How much are we shaped by our environment and childhood? My memories of childhood were jarred a little bit this morning on my drive to work. I was listening to the ongoing racial debate with Henry Louis Gates (not to be confused with Robert Louis Stevenson) and President Obama, and thinking that this shouldn’t even [...]

Twitch and Shout

July 28, 2009

love it. Camp Twitch and Shout. Shake it up baby!
There have been fat camps for years. Movies about fat camps, jokes about fat camps, investigations into fat camps. Now even a show about what amounts to a fat camp, Dance your ass off.
I think they could probably combine camp twitch and shout with dance [...]

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince – Two movies in one

July 27, 2009

The new Harry Potter film, The Half Blood Prince, is two movies in one and I didn’t find either one to be particularly interesting. Not to say that I didn’t find it entertaining to a degree, but not what I expected.
I am not a huge fan of the book series, although I have friends who [...]

People Academy and Dutch Blitzkrieg both exploding!

July 24, 2009

I don’t usually talk business so much on this blog, at least not in the ‘traditional’ type business sense. (meaning I talk about my comedy and acting and all that, but not items/info for sale)
But I have to say I am pretty exciting about all the stuff that is going on with The People Academy, [...]

Broken Neck = New Life? or Different Attitude?

July 23, 2009

A guy that I work with occasionally broke his neck and was paralyzed from the neck down. He was horsing around wrestling around a swimming pool and ended up taking a dive into a shallow area. He wasn’t planning on diving in, it was more the result of tomfoolery and losing his balance and the [...]

Red Tape and my dear Old Grandad

July 21, 2009

I was in the military for 13 years. I did ISO quality inspections for three years. That’s a lot of bureaucratic bullshit. Sixteen years worth of making sure forms were filled out correctly. Making sure labels were attached in the proper place. Making sure people were following their standard operating procedures and that they could [...]

Life Changing – A shift for the better?

July 20, 2009

What sort of person decides to a serious change in their lives after living in a certain fashion, following some sort of plan for a period of time? Some people may think that I am describing a midlife crisis and you may be right. I really don’t know I am just posing the question for [...]

July 20, 2009

Yesterday (Sunday July 19th, my gosh where did the month go?) was Reading Pride among other things I am sure. But Pride was the highlight of the day. (Deb was the highlight of the night, ahem..cough cough)
It was my first time going to a Pride celebration (I keep typing price and then having to go [...]

Lying is your best bet

July 19, 2009

This is just carrying the theme from yesterday another step. How often do you change your passwords? Do you use the same password for all your accounts, or similar passwords? Can people guess them if they know you?
Are your secret questions (for password recovery) easy to guess? What street do you live on, what’s your [...]

Memory. Past infects the present..

July 18, 2009

“They” say that everything we have ever done or said is captured and stored in the pile of gray matter that inhabits the inside of our skulls and I am starting to believe it. The more stories that I write regarding my life (I am sort of working on an autobiography) the more stuff seems [...]
