About Me

My photo
Hello my fellow Politiores Troglodytes. This Blog is a collection of Posts, Poems, & Short Stories that I write on a daily basis. If you find it entertaining, informative, and controversial, then I have done my job properly. Thank goodness too, because Karma has been on my case of late. I'm supposed to bring fifty people into the fold or I'll have to give back the part of Einstein's brain I inherited. No, I'm not one of the Scientists who got a piece of his brain when he died. Karma said, "Eat this knowledge. It'll make you smarter!" The bargain I made with Karma was, if I could change fifty people into Politiores Populos, I would be rewarded with my very own Lamborghini. So, that's my story and I'm sticking to it! Like what you're reading, then read on. P.S. Populo is Latin for people. Politiores is Latin for educated. Troglodytes is English for troglodytes. And Einstein's brain was stolen by Thomas Stoltz Harvey after his death in 1955 and eventually divvied up into 240 pieces. If you just read that last sentence, then you have just learned something and I'm just that much closer to fulfilling my commitment to Karma!

Once An Anarchist, Now A Family Man

I recently received an email from an old
"Anarchist"
friend of mine who used to be in a few
Alternative Bands
I played in.
He sent me  new
MP3
copy of the music I wrote in the
Nineteen-Eighties.
I now plan on making some backing videos to go with some of the songs,
so you'll be able to listen to them here,
on this Blog.
The problem I have is to,
"Git-R-Done,"
using a quote made famous by
Larry the Cable Guy.
Like my friend,
stage name
"Electric Dave,"
because he was
and is an electrifying presence,
back then and today,
the anarchy we embraced in our youth was put on hold because we both fell in love.
Not with each other,
but with two different beautiful women,
and raised families of our own.
Always the downfall of many
"Insurrectionists and Revolutionaries."
In all Societies
and in all Eras of History.
I asked Electric Dave to be a
"Guest Blogger"
on
"Two Buck Howie"
someday.
He said he would when he can find the time away from his Family,
the Band he plays in today,
and as Professor of English
and Modern Languages at
Bowie State University 
in Maryland.
He is just showing off with those credentials,
so stop with your
Oohs and Aahs.
He has been a Guest Blogger on
"The Academe Blog"
web site,
http://academeblog.org/2015/02/16/the-board-of-regents-approves-a-new-business-model-for-the-university-of-maryland-university-college-a-serious-blow/ .
If you are interested in that ever controversial
Maryland,
College,
educational problem.
 
Yes, that's the original flag of Maryland, one of the original "Thirteen Colonies."
The funny thing is, I recently saw a photo of Electric Dave wearing a pair of pants with the same colors and patterns as the state flag!
At least he has good taste in music.
He still plays the songs I wrote.
Recently,
I mentioned about a different friend of mine,
and an annotator in my Post,
"I've Been Thinking, And Does It Hurt,"
on how different their opinions are of me,
after they read this Blog.
Now Electric Dave writes,
his opinion is different still,
and I'll quote,
"But it looks like your blog has a more general readership, so I would tailor my rant accordingly."
It just goes to show you how Aesop's Fable,
"The Man, the Boy, and the Donkey,"
is still true today,
in everyday life.
(If you don't know it, search it on the Internet.)
Moral of Aesop's Fable:
"Try to please all, and you will please none."
So once again, I must say, I'm doing something right with this Blog because it stirs opinions with readers from all over the World!
(I know Maryland is in the United States, but Electric Dave used to live in Oxford, England, and I do have viewers from all over the World.)
So I'll keep Blogging away with Educational, Inspirational, Futuristic, Humorous, Political, Philosophical, Technological, Hatred Towards Stupid Prejudice People, A Jihad Against ISIS, Story Telling, and Poetry, and I hope you keep signing up as Followers, while adding Comments to my Posts, as you daily check out what I have to say.
Thanks for checking in.
