New Years Resolutions I can Actually Keep!

Dec 30th, 2008 | By Just Sayin... | Category: Reflection, Recollection and Retrospect

I’m not sure how you feel about this subject, but I for one am really tried of dissappointing myself year after year with unkept resolutions. Year after year, after year I continually promise myself things, with the best of intentions of course, which I invariably break.[...]



What Do You Want From Santa?

Dec 20th, 2008 | By Just Sayin... | Category: Family, Friends and Fans

Why is it that when you are flush with cash around the holidays and you ask your friends and loved ones what they want from Santa, they always respond with something obnoxiously inexpensive like a jumbo pack of Wrigley’s Spearmint Gum or some Pez, [...]



There’s No Room for Christ in Christmas.

Dec 17th, 2008 | By Just Sayin... | Category: Observations, Obsessions and Opinions

Driving down my street is like entering some bizarre David Lynch version of a white trash winter wonderland. Seriously. The combined wattage of all the outdoor lighting on my block is comparable only to the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, or perhaps the total output of the sun! [...]



Basking In the Glow of the Tree

Dec 15th, 2008 | By Just Sayin... | Category: Observations, Obsessions and Opinions

I put my Christmas tree up today. It marks the official beginning of the holiday season for yours truly, and it makes my otherwise drab and dreary living room look great! If you ask me which is the best light, filament, halogen or fluorescent? I say none of them can hold a candle to Christmas lights [...]



Awful Writing and a Generally Bad Attitude.

Dec 14th, 2008 | By Just Sayin... | Category: Observations, Obsessions and Opinions

I’ve been struggling with a direction for my blog since its inception. I’ve tried to find a voice, a common thread, a unifying theme if you will, however as of yet, It still hasn’t presented itself to me. Granted… I’ve toyed with a few but none have felt right, not for the long run so what I’m left with is somewhat of [...]



Damn You Evil Geography!

Dec 10th, 2008 | By Just Sayin... | Category: Correspond, Converse and Confess

This may come as a surprise to you, but sometimes… Geography can suck. Why is it that the coolest people always seem to live the farthest away??? It’s like some crazy karmic slide rule, the coolness of an individual has a direct and proportional effect on the distance they are away from you [...]



The True Lesson of Saturday Morning Cartoons.

Dec 9th, 2008 | By Just Sayin... | Category: Observations, Obsessions and Opinions

Life… Just isn’t fair. I have seen enough… Hell… Been through enough, that this lesson should have been learned in spades… And yet, no… I still expect some level of fairness from the universe. I still [...]

From Russia With Love.

Dec 6th, 2008 | By Just Sayin... | Category: Correspond, Converse and Confess

So today was… Meh… It wasn’t a bad day but it certainly wasn’t good. It… Like so many days before it… Merely was. Just another link in the long… Long lonely chain that is my life… My loveless existence… BUT THEN!!! I got home and saw this e-mail… App [...]



Chimpanzee Riding on a Segway… To Insanity!

Dec 4th, 2008 | By Just Sayin... | Category: Family, Friends and Fans

Be forewarned! This post addresses quite possibly the most viral, infectious and dangerous 40 seconds ever foisted upon the unsuspecting public. Sure… it seems innocuous and cute. I mean it’s a video of a chimpanzee riding on a segway. How dangerous [...]
