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!

Writing About Writing

I've been trying to write about something,
anything on this Blog every day,
because I believe sometimes,
at my very best,
I can be informative,
if I want to be,
I can be funny,
and in general,
I need the practice.
I like writing.
It is a way for me to say the things I like to talk about when I don't have an audience.
Of course,
I don't need an audience,
a friend will do too.
But the older I get the less friends I have.
I no longer go to the bar for social encounters.
Matter of fact,
it's been about fifteen years since I did that for my social life.
I'm not invited to a friend's house,
when the big game is on,
because I hardly watch Sports on TV,
except for Formula 1 Racing and the Green Bay Packers. Unfortunately,
I don't have the financial means to go see live Music any longer.
I rather spend the money on my kids anyways.
So basically,
I write to have fun.
Writing is a lot like reading.
Sometimes you never know where it will lead you.
It's an adventure in imagination,
just like reading.
When I sat down in front of my computer tonight,
I didn't have anything in mind on what to write.
So I wrote about writing.
I guess I was hoping I was writing an
Episode of Seinfeld's.
You know,
the show about nothing.
I wanted to write about nothing
and see how long I could keep it up.
Did I succeed?
Was it long enough?
 
This is,
The Wisest Man Alive,
Jim Hauenstein,

And,

“I am the wisest man alive, for I know one thing, and that is that I know nothing."
- Plato -

That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
