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!

Observing

    I have noticed that the older people get, the more conservative they are. I saw a quote today by Snoop Dog that read, (I'm paraphrasing) "On Nov. 9th we turn back the clocks. How about we turn the clocks back to a time when people told the truth and got along with each other."  See, this is what I mean. So many people think of their younger days as the good old days and they see today as nothing but lies, hatred, and violence. That's because we always like to forget the struggles of those times gone by and we no longer look forward to the future.

    I myself used to struggle with change. During the early 1990s, I noticed where I worked, people were being let go because they refused to change. So I created my own mantra that I would say to myself every morning or when I needed a positive lift during the day. "Change is good, Change is inevitable. Embrace change and you will never be left behind in life."
 
    I believe this is the reason I find beautiful music to listen to, from today's artists. I still listen the songs I grew up with, but I am also, always, looking for new music that I enjoy.

    I used to complain, but now I feel foolish. I miss her cold feet trying to get warm on my legs on mornings like today. Remembering little things like this brings a smile to my face though.
 
    I know no one will believe me, but when I took the "Real ID" test in California, I was marked wrong on a question I swear I answered correctly!
 
    I have lived long enough to understand that "Big Business" warns the public about the upcoming inflation so they can layoff employees and raise prices for bigger profits and then go, "See, we told you inflation was coming."

That is my story and I am sticking to it!

    Still angry I see. No, I did not get rescued. Rawson Park is not considered a "Drunken Forest" and the story is a fantasy. Good to hear from you again. I miss our conversations
