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!

Reading Is Fundamental

It is
The day of rest for most
Western Cultures
and some
Religions.
For me,
it has always been the day to sober up before the start of another work week.
Since I do not have to work any longer,
and I do not feel the need to get intoxicated anymore,
Sunday
for me,
is usually about writing.
Still,
having four kids
and one grandson living with me,
it is hard to find the time to do all the writing I feel is needed to finish another book.
Flash Fiction
and
Short Stories
are easy to write at a moments notice,
but for a
Novel
length book,
I need to write at least a thousand words per day.
And that my friends is considered the bare minimum for me to get my work done.
But
Sunday
is also a special day in another way for me.
It is the day I get to read up on,
what is happening in outer space.
So here are some of the Articles I will be reading today.
I haven't started any of them,
I am just going to put down the headlines
and if you are interested in any,
follow the link.

"Comet flyby threw Mars into chaos." By Abigail Beall For Mailonline

"Ceres' Bright Spots Are Constantly Changing." By Sarah Fecht For Popular Science

"Hot Jupiter' heats up fast as it passes close enough to high-five its star." By Eric Mack For CNET

"Could an invisibility cloak of lasers save Earth from an alien invasion?" By Richard Gray for MailOnline

"Behemoth Black Hole Found in an Unlikely Place."  By  Ray Villard For NASA

"Sugar That Created Life Could Have Come From Interstellar Space." By Maddie Stone For GIZMODO

This is,
Going To Be Wishing Upon A Star That I Make It Into Outer Space Someday,
Jim Hauenstein,

And,

“I used to dream about escaping my ordinary life, but my life was never ordinary. I had simply failed to notice how extraordinary it was. Likewise, I never imagined that home might be something I would miss.” 
- Ransom Riggs -

That is my story and I am sticking to it! 

Thank you.
