To Jose for putting up with me and for offering sound advice even if I don’t want to hear it. Today, I wore my Obama button to work. As a principal of the company I work for, it’s not appropriate for me to express political opinions, wear political buttons, and that sort of thing. Now […]
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” This from the Declaration of Independence. I once used that quote in a story I wrote. I’m using it here. […]

Today marks a special day in my blog. We have recorded not long ago our 200,000th hit. And to be clear, my personal hits are specifically excluded by the tracking software 🙂 I want to thank my loyal readers, though few in number, a lot of those are your repeated hits reading my entries. I […]
Yeah, this is post 501. I missed the big celebration of 500 🙂 Life goes on. The blog is at 196,000 hits or thereabouts. I’m going to break 200,000 before the year ends. That’s just mind blowing. Most of the visitors are still looking at Led Zeppelin posts and Daniel Radcliffe posts. So if you […]
I learned a lesson today. Trust nobody. Ever. No matter what. Nobody has your best interests at heart except you. Even the people you think when push comes to shove you can trust, not even them. They’re waiting there with a knife, to plant it in your back. And some people wonder why I want […]
I’d like to welcome a new sponsor to my trio of sites www.darsys.com, www.darsys.net, and www.panthershockey.net. So goodbye to my old sponsor who didn’t renew nor respond to emails, and hello to ZTMC.NET (and .COM) who sell aggregated ads. The nice things about these ads is they are far less intrusive and appear at the […]
Got up at 515am, made a cup o’ hot chocolate for breakfast, and hiked to my car (currently parked a few blocks away as they’ve been repaving my street for several days). Drove to the hospital. Arrived at 630am as ordered. Nobody there. At 640am, a maintenance man came by and asked why I was […]
WJM, I’m thinking of you. I hope you pull through okay. If you make it through, I swear I’m going to kick your ass so hard you’ll forget your name. Dumb-ass. We’re all here for you. ::cries:: Addendum 2022: I wrote this for William Jason Murphy after he tried suicide and failed. A few years […]
I pulled my old G4 keyboard out of the closet as my Matias Tactile Pro 2.0 has been possessed by the devil. The space bar randomly works, and the Q key works twice each time you press it or zero times. The N works 4 out of 5 times. Picked up my x-rays at the […]
