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...

Pauseandblog: Survivor Pauseandblog. A word I made up for when I pause, and blog about the TV show I am watching, before I see how it turns out. I just paused on Survivor because on player in the minority said something smart and creative and whether or not he follows through, it's still genius that deserves some attention. Whether you follow the...

Bathroom blogging It's been a few days since I sat down and started writing again. I had a good streak there for a while, but without obsession or guilt driving me, it's easy to ignite and do without. The interesting side effect of blogging daily is that it changes how you view life at least a little. Ad I observe the world around me, I...

Paging Doctor Blog Since I don't do too many back to back appointments these days, O don't find myself waiting in cars with time to share as much as I used to. These days, one of the only blank time periods I experience is when I'm in a waiting room, awaiting a doctor. So I blog. I gave not been keeping up with the new hobby daily as I promised...

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...

At today's lunch, I was inspired to think about some pranks. I didn't have the guts to do anything, but I must have been in some weird mood to think of them. The first one would have been on three 40 something ladies who came in to the fast food chain,  just to rush to the rest room. One of the ladies made note of the clearly posted sign...

Does it really matter if nobody actually ever reads my stuff? If I enjoy writing and blogging and reviewing things, is the enjoyment changed by sharing and having an audience? In reality, the chances are far greater that sharing invites critics and feedback, and could drastically reduce the enjoyment. Writing to please a reader is a whole new...

I recently learned from first hand experience, the meaning of the current culture to say the word "respect" in the middle of their sentences. Somebody did it to me, and I suddenly got that it is a modern day showing of respect to somebody at that moment, sort of like people who say; God Rest His Sole and cross their heart whenever they menation...

I just pushed play, and may comment as I watch. It's the TV version of War of the Worlds, but Tom doesn't swear much anyway, so it may be close to the DVD version.

I am sympathetic to that YouTube Chris guy who briefly got famous by posting a rant with a cry about leaving Britney Alone. I kind of agree. But she confuses me, because it would be easy for Britney to go away if she really wanted to.Her lyrics seems to say one thing. Her actions, another, and the media a third. They're all different and I don't...

Lunch time comentary. April5, 2007As I grow older, more and more change takes place in the world, and more things make me say the words; when I was a kid, or worse; back in my day...In our youth, it’s always the old people making those remarks, and every time we catch ourselves saying it, we feel a little older.Today, as I sit at Pizza Hut for my...

I was just about to watch a DVD of Over the Hedge, when I was inspired to press PAUSE and take note.The movie is animated, but for the first time that I noticed, the voice actors are listed up front, like a regular movie.It took me back at first.I was impressed with some of the big names, and every name on screen as familiar. AT first, I had to...

I feel like an episode of WHO'S LINE IS IT ANYWAY. I enter a title in the blogger box above, of the name of the TV show I have just opaused to start writing. I know, that by the time I have started, this essay will be about a subject almost unrelated in any way to THE CLASS, but it's my starting line. Then, just before I begin to type about a...

You may hate me for the contents of this blog. I may hate me.I don't want to say that cheating on your partner makes sense, or it's a good idea... but I will.First off, I'll say I'm not the kind of guy who would. I haven't. I can't get around the hurt and hurting aspect.However, I was watching a TV show just now, and was inspired to press pause...

I was watching this week's episode of LAS VEGAS just now. I just saw sweet Mary, who they're hardening up this season, smoking.Her ex boyfriend, she show's white hunk said it was ok, because she was stressed.I call the age card again, and start rambling like the grey haired father figure I made fun of when I wasn't one of them.TV is still...

Reality shows are not reality. That's not a new statement by any means. However, it's neat to see how a network or producer can make good TV, and stay within the confines of what they call reality. They don't script things, and they claim to not change the outcome, but they can change the rules.A food competition for a tribal council challenge...

I haven't seen it. I've only seen the commercials.It seems like the new movie The Austronaut Farmer seems like the story of First Contact, the Star Trek movie that tells the history of the first warp flight into outyer space. It almost looks the same. A farmer builds a rocket in his barn.I wonder what other Star Trek stories I could change and...

Every time I hear somebody on TV hiccup, I wonder if the writers have seen my web site. I have a hiccup cure listed, and for a while, I was #1 on Google. It's free and easy and works really well for about 80% of the people who try it. It's lost ground to less successful cures that cost money, because that's how the Internet works sometimes.The...

I don't know why exactly, but I think of the episode of Star Trek Next Generation, where Beverly Crusher is in her own universe, a lot. I'm not sure the puctiuation on that line.I have also been thinking of the idea of personal universes for a while.Tonight, I was watching TV, and the concept of drugs came up.I merged the ideas together, and...

Another thing we didn't realize changed. In my youth, you could drive without your headlights on. Daytime running lights have been the standard in my country for years. We can't drive without our headlights one. Up to this point, I've always thought about the advantages to having lights on during the day. I've even complained that rear lights are...

I heard this just now; Non Regional Diction. It was in the context of a woman trying to break into the man's world of TV news in the 70's. It was something she had to practice.It reminded me of a memory, and a story.When I ws growing up, the dominant foreign culture around me was British. Of the people my family socialized with, the accent I...
