At my age most people would say, “what already saving?” To some degree I would agree with them, but retirement savings at my age are opportunistic. In other words, if given the chance to save a bit on the side.. I should. So now I should be setup to contribute 20% of my paycheck a [...]

Quite a change from the last post, but yesterday just spelled doom in many ways. My sailing class that I had looked forward to since spring was cancelled. On my way home… my car overheated and the work load at work has doubled. This morning wasn’t too much better. My car overheated again, but it [...]

Two new additions to the car… A second hand CB from my Dad and a New Steering knob for my wheel. Wow! What a difference it makes. So this morning I tried the knob out.. turning left then right then left again. The steering stayed the same, but I had way more control to steer [...]

I know that I’ve been on cruise control since May (at least from school) but somehow the first day of Summer really makes things feel… summery. Today just happens to be my Mom’s b-day and my half-birthday.. My un-birthday you could say Also today happens to be natl. flip-flop day (I think) so all you [...]

As the United States rumbles on into the next century I can’t help but wonder on the future of long standing traditional laws that will be targeted for reversal. One long standing debate that continues to be beaten up is the legalization of intoxicating substances.. In layman’s terms: The legalization of Pot, drugs, and home-distillation. The [...]

You’ve heard of it before… No Child left behind (NCLB). Just in its name you think that maybe there was a time when a child *was* left behind. I, myself, wonder if I was left behind during my k-12. Clearly NCLB should spark alarm across the board. In conjunction to NCLB is what to do [...]

So here’s how it all began.. I was sitting at home watching the premere of NBC’s Last Comic Standing. Between some hallarious acts was a commercial break. One commercial which I’m sure everybody has seen at least once is the Geico Caveman in the airport commercial where he walks past that notorious sign “Even a [...]

It’s likely that everybody knows that there’s two religious groups that dominate politics, society, wealth, etc. They are the Evangelical Christians and the Jews. Christians are outspoken on the issue of supporting Israel, almost to the point of ignoring blatant human rights violations. One question we should ponder deeply about is why Christians are so [...]

In the recent human embryo debacle, Nancy Peloci gave God a shout out when she said, “The ability to destroy human embryos to cure diseases is a ‘gift from God.’” Speaking from her mostly Catholic religious background, Peloci is using a new democratic strategy to sweep in ‘disenchanted republicans.’ While perhaps this is supposed to be progressive, what is it really doing to help democrats? No one can doubt or discard the recent surge of power by this new group [...]

If you were out on Saturday and enjoyed yourself then you’ve offically earned the title of ”nor’westerner.” Long standing traditions of a soggy, cold, and miserable rose parade repeated itself as if it was destiny. Tink and I were out in Pirate outfitstrying to do the pirate thing, but the longer I waded into the storm themore I felt the misery of real pirating. It was all good I suppose. Typically the rose festival does mark the end of the rainy season, but don’t put any stock in that. I wouldn’t be suprised if we see yet more days of rain. Good [...]
