This is the generic blog category. It’s where pretty much everything goes.
When I can out the door for the afternoon feed, the weak chickens that linger in different circles are always first to detect me, and the waddle towards me. Over the past couple of days I've tried to death feed them their own portion before the rooster and his harem notice. Today it backfired a bit. I put the first dish down and walked towards...
I learned the name of the rooster's mojo but I prefer calling it the rooster anyway because calling it by its name implies some form of relationship. I suppose in a way we do have an adversarial relationship he wants to attack me and I want to avoid being attacked. He doesn't seem to get that I don't attack him. I haven't. I will defend myself...
I grew up in a small town and always asked; What's the funny thing in the center of town. I later learned it was an air raid siren. I never heard it and at some point in my youth, it vanished. It's 2019 now and we all carry a personal device with us. In my new home town of Toronto, technology has re-invented the air raid siren and put it in my...
When I have no Internet, the Microsoft Mail program included with Windows 10 still does the spellcheck, so it's a pretty good editor for blogging. Today I realized it can actually be used to send directly to the Wordpress Blog. I used a Star Trek reference to my psychiatrist, so he did as well. I can see how some patients might imagine...
My name is Richard, and this isn't really my story, but it's such a great story, it needs to be told and since I'm the only other person on Earth that know it, the task falls to me. In a way, I feel a bit like Dr Watson, who wrote all the adventures of his best friend Sherlock Holmes, except I'm not a fictional British doctor, but a real...
I'm glad I remembered the title because there was lemon cake and ... well.. Lemon cake. The origin story of lemon cake for me, goes all the way back to when I never learned gradients. Lemon cake was always just awesome. Those that I might grade...
Doesn't it bother anyone else that an apple with a bit out of it is the symbol for betrayal, evil, and the creation of hell. Oh yeah, and a computer company.
If you believe that the story is the only prize. The story is all. The storyeller are the winners. If you believe in the story, then there is little difference between good and bad. If you understand the power of creating your own stories, then any situation no longer has a happy ending or a horrid ending. Both have a good story. To anyone who...
Weed high from 2 strong pot brownies that I review as excellent, and like KFC, is good cold too. I found a nice spot on the reation of the first two and my already suspciously joyous day was even coooler. I started my new routine of therapy. Saying it. ding, these days, the populous is accepting typing as a new quicker way of communicating. Do...
I was about ti wrute a new blog post this Tu Restart. I had the auto correct settings slightly wrong. I'm happy with my choice to change my own normal. I both love and hate change depending on how much notice I have. I can not however livecwithout change. The greatest stories of our life begin with change. Your universe expands. Let's get...
I just realized my Blog is like the movie Memento. It can be read backwards, and you learn what everything means in reverse, eventually. Imagine if I wrote it as a book, but one that was designed and styled to be read backwards. You start at age 100 with the current blog, and it reads backwards. Nothing makes sense until you read more. ...
As I was falling asleep with my mouth slightly open because if the congestion when I heard a bee. I can't be sure that it was a bee, but it was certainly louder than an average fly. It might have been an above-average fly. Superfly? I've seen some really big flies over the past few years. Not science fiction horror movie big like the spiders, but...
I like the idea if Sunday, even if it isn't actually Sunday. I often post on my Facebook wall that "I am Sundaying" as an expression of laziness. Perhaps laziness isn't the right word. When done right, a Sunday isn't about being lazy so much as just setting aside a day to not do the stuff you do the rest of the week. For those of you that work...
I'm losing my morning person abilities. The winter and spring of 2017... I'm not waking up energized and dtsrting my work day anymore. I've even lost my proide in being a morning person. I hate it. I have not gained the late person powers. I still want to go to bed before 10pm... but I no longer like waking up at 6am and geting a lot done...
This is pretty big news. I called it. A sneaky takeover is approaching. It doesn't happen often in the real world that a race for the leader sees the winner fall from first to third place, but it might happen this year. Microsoft was first out of the gate with an open system that allowed anybody to make and sell the hardware, and let Microsoft...
I've always been fascinated with people watching. Seeing smiles on faces energizes me like sunlight energizes Superman. I especially like seeing different cultures and how the react tio the same things, and observing different towns and communities and noticing the subtle differences. Sometimes it's the little things, like the change of a font...
It seems natural that everyone who blogs and perhaps, who breathes, should have some form of political opinion about the 2016 Election. People who have lived through more than one in their interest years has to agree this one is unlike anything we've experienced in the United States, and more than any other, It has drastically educated half the...
I'm a Canadian with a television, which means I have to pay attention to the politics of the USA. It's always a crazy show, but the year of 2016 is the craziest in my lifetime, if not in history. There are so many conspiracy theories floating around, mostly because the campaigns are so crazy, we really can't believe it wasn't planned... or even...
I learned the term Micro Expressions from TV a few years back when Tim Roth starred in Lie to Me. A crime drama where his team used facial expressions to figure out if people meant what they were saying. I believe that I have been using that concept, without knowing the name, for many years to detect emotions and reactions in the faces and...
When I talk about being obsessive, people tend to jump to the conclusion I mean Obsessive-compulsive (OCD) and quickly correct them. Recently, I started to reevaluate whether I am OCD or not, because the more I obsess over it, the more the lines become blurred. The photograph above shows my obsessive collection of the center cardboard from...
Everywhere I look today, I have people who's opinions I care about, and I have to decide which ones to confess to. Which ones can I tell "I've been bad this year". I just told my closest female friend about the addiction. I don't want a reply today. I don't want to see how I hurt her. I'll take that one when I'm...
There are a few places in life people need to wait. Some lines you can avoid, or do without. Some lines you can schedule and return at less busy times. It's hard to avoid the waiting room at a hospital. I suppose the rich can pay for better treatment in some cases, but I like to believe we're all fairly equal in the emergency room. That's nor to...
It's Monday, and that's a bit later than usual for me to watch this past weekend'd Saturday Night Live. It's been a pretty consistent Sunday morning ritual, but toady I was a day late. The first thing I noticed when they said Big Dick and it really looked like he wasn't supposed to, but that may just be me, over analyzing the micro expressions....
A funny thing happened to me recently when I was involved in a text conversation with a friend of mine. I was laying in bed, chatting with a friend using Google Hangouts on my cell phone. At some point it occurred to me the typing on the cell phone was a little tedious, but I didn't have a full keyboard or computer near the bed at that moment, so...
The current battle I have within my head every time I smoke even a teeny tiny bit of weed, is whether to come clean, and admit it. To confess to using drugs, or at least enjoying an occasional inspiration puff. I have a vaporizer, and now and then, I inhale a breath or two. Less than a pet's worth, and then I sit down and write. Some of my...
There is a new CSI reality show on TV this season. It breaks from the traditional CSI, mainly in that they do absolutely no CSI work. They are FB! 's CYBERCRIMES Division, but they go a little overboard on what cases consistent CYBER., at least so far. I' ve blogger my opinion elsewhere on the Pilot. Today I started thinking about what a CSI...
My brain is always active. Sometimes, they call it obsession, and I'm on medication to reduce it, but other times, it's just imagination. When I watch a TV show or a movie, my brain is usually thinking on multiple levels. Sometimes it's distracting, especially if the show is boring. Other times it's fun, because I imagine all sorts of...
I started watching last nights new CSI series with no expectations. I was curious at most, but didn't spend any time pre thinking about it. I just turned it on and watched the first scene. A child abduction. The first thing I noticed was the father of the child sleeps in his glasses. I even paused and rewound to establish he really was...
