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!

Trying To Start A New Tradition

   Over the years, and always this time of year, you hear the same phrase spoken by people all over the world.
"Happy New Year!"
   Well I am starting a new tradition that I hope will take the world by storm. My new phrase that I want people to start saying is:
"Have a Happy, Healthy, and Wealthy New Year!"
   I have been saying it for five years now so if you think you have heard it before, my plan is working!
   I stated seeing it on a couple of social media sites today from some of my friends I know so the ear-worm I planted is starting to spread.
   I know that there are similar sayings out there already but I am a quasi poet and my phrase sort of rhymes.
   Well stop nitpicking old timers and Generation Z, I freaked it!
100 Happy New Year Wishes and Sayings for 2024
 This is,
Be Satisfied With The Wealth You Have
Which is Love Of Family And Friends
Stay Healthy As Long As You Can
So You Can Enjoy Every Moment
And Then You Will Find True Happiness In This
Your Life

James Hauenstein

The Time Of My Life

   The title of this post might be a little bit of a misnomer because there have been many wonderful moments in my life that I am thankful for. But, I would say the title represents what people might be thinking of me when they see me in my car these days.
   You see, last year I was getting bored. After staying home for so long during and after the pandemic, I felt I was missing something personally. So I got a job.
   A job in the digital economy where I can work when I want to, how much I want, and I really don't have to answer to anyone.
   I became a Dasher.
   It turns out it has all the benefits I was searching for. I'm out of the house, I make a little extra spending money, I meet new people I can be social with, and I guess I get the feeling of accomplishment.
   But the real benefit I didn't know I was missing was, listening to music!
   I'm by myself three to five hours a day, five days a week, and I can crank the music as loud as I want, sing off key as loud as I want, while using the steering wheel to drive and as a drum set.
   You should see the looks I get in the morning when people are going off to their full time jobs.
   This is how I see myself.

   But I imagine this is how people see me.
