About Me

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 Must Have Been A Teacher In A Previous Life

On Mondays,
I like to set aside the day for questions you didn't know you wanted to ask.
So,
the first question of the day is;

Who Is Johannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart?
"He is better known by his pen name as composer, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. January 27th, 1756 through December 5th, 1791. Born in Salzburg, he showed prodigious ability from his earliest childhood. Already competent on keyboard and violin, he composed from the age of five and performed before European royalty. At 17, Mozart was engaged as a musician at the Salzburg court, but grew restless and traveled in search of a better position. While visiting Vienna in 1781, he was dismissed from his Salzburg position. He chose to stay in the capital, where he achieved fame but little financial security. During his final years in Vienna, he composed many of his best-known symphonies, concertos, and operas, and portions of the Requiem, which was largely unfinished at the time of his death. The circumstances of his early death have been much mythologized. He was survived by his wife Constanze and two sons. He composed more than 600 works, many acknowledged as pinnacles of symphonic, concertante, chamber, operatic, and choral music. He is among the most enduring, popular classical composers of all time, and his influence is profound on subsequent Western art music. Ludwig van Beethoven composed his own early works in the shadow of Mozart, and Joseph Haydn wrote that posterity will not see such a talent again in 100 years."
He died at the age of 35
and composed over 600 pieces before his death.
Joseph Hayden
was wrong.
It has been over
100 Years
and we still haven't someone like him again.
Thank you
for enlightening me on how much time I wasted before I decided to buckle down
and get to work!

Mister TwoBuckHowie, how can I write beautiful rhymes in my poetry, just like you?
"There are many different websites out there that will teach and give you the proper techniques on writing poetry, but if you want a shortcut and circumvent the rules like I do, my favorite web-page is Rhyme Zone. Just write your word in the box, press search, and your results will come out by Syllables, Letters, and Phrases."
There you have it.
Questions you didn't know you wanted to ask.

This is,
I Must Have Been A Teacher In A Previous Life,
Jim Hauenstein,

And,

“It would seem that you have no useful skill or talent whatsoever," he said. "Have you thought of going into teaching?”
- Terry Pratchett, -

That is my story and I am sticking to it!
