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!

I'm Back!

In my last Post, 
I talked about how I had to call 911 for my daughter. 
I'm happy to say everything is A-Okay. 
Thank the Gods 
or God, 
depending on you religious preference. 
In that Post I also said, 
because of the 
Holiday Season, 
I was going to stay away from writing anything on 
"Politics, ISIS, the Racist Donald Trump, Ex-Jared Fogle associate getting 27 years for child pornography, the E.coli outbreak, and all the other fun stuff I could berate so easily." 
To stay with that idea, 
I would like to talk about my other daughter, 
the one who's heart is always in the right place when it comes to giving to the unfortunate. 
So far this year, 
I've tried to at least give a dollar to every 
Salvation Army Bucket 
I come across, 
give a dollar to every 
Homeless Person 
holding a sign, 
and have given food to 
Two People 
who have stopped by my house, 
saying they haven't had a good meal in awhile. 
To say that I am marked as a 
Charitable Person, 
is an understatement. 
And it is all because of my daughter who told me, 
"There will always be people less fortunate then us, but we must do what we can for them." 
She was about eight years old when she told me that. 
She will be turning eighteen soon so I have been giving every 
Holiday Season 
for over ten years. 
I give toys and clothes to the church at least twice a year. 
I help a handicap man recycle twice a month so he can have a little extra spending money. 
And, 
of course, 
the dollar bills I give each year to the different charities 
and homeless people. 
I'm not trying to make it look like I am some kind of heroic figure by doing these things, 
but the feeling of helping sure gives me a warm 
and fuzzy feeling inside. 
If you haven't done anything charitable yet this year, 
you should to do at least one thing this 
Holiday Season
and then you'll find that, 
one act of kindness goes a long way in how you feel 
and the person you helped feel. 
Plus you can always ask them to 
Pay It Forward.

This is,
Asking Everyone To Do One Charitable Act This Season,
Jim Hauenstein,

And,

“It's not how much we give but how much love we put into giving.” 
- Mother Teresa -

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