The Internet has become a form of education we never expected. For the first time, we are globally seeing more and more real people. Reality TV started it, but the Internet is King, where every human can broadcast themselves or their neighbours, and we can see, for the first time in many cases, how stupid and rude and obnoxious a society we all...
Sunday is a special day in our culture. It used to be the official day or rest for society, based I supposed on Christianity - but really meant as a day off for everyone... until it wasn't, and we got greedy. Now almost everything is open on Sunday, although some still have limited hours. We all need a break day, even if we don't work very hard...
I have posted before how I compared twitter to doing stand up comedy in an empty room. You can be funny online, but your jokes and comments don't get a reaction as you type - but rather minutes, hours or days later. In this way, I think I was wrong in my analogy, because an empty room will never give you a laugh if you're a solo stand up...
Writing a blog everyday is a different project than occasional blogging. The responsibility to sit in one place and just write is new, and on day, its already become an irritation. I knew I'd grow to hate it soon enough, but I expected to get past day 4. Note: written on phone. Posted without review. In any case, I committed thus morning in my 10...

On Monday of this week, I started a new goal to write a blog of some sort every day, and the truth is - I really don't care if anybody is reading it. In fact, the idea of people...
Life is full of rules. Some we don't really care about breaking, and some we do. We've made the idea of breaking rules so socially acceptable that there is a famous line; "Rules are meant to be broken" which in itself, is an absurd statement. Some people define themselves as rule breakers. As bad. Some people like to be thought of as bad boys,...
Some people hate Mondays. Ok... many people hate Mondays. There is even a great song about it that I happen to love. People do however seem to like January 1st, whether it falls on a Monday or not. Everyone starts talking about the new year as a fresh start, and many even commit to resolutions, many of which are ignored January 2, or a few weeks...
I have an attitude in life that has served me reasonably well, especially in depressed time. Failure can sometimes be funny, and anger is almost always funny... if you look at them from a different perspective. Just now, I have returned home from what some people would call a frustrating visit to the local McDonalds, and rather than describe a...
