So, today is a Federal Holiday – President’s Day. Which is actually Presidents’ Day – apostrophe AFTER the “s” rather than prior, since the holiday refers to ALL them guys, not just one. But that’s wrong, too. It’s actually not either of these things. It’s legally designated on all federal places of notice as being […]
Moral High Ground Part 2
Last week I started talking about having the Moral High Ground. Per definition, one possesses the Moral High Ground when one displays an understanding of right from wrong, regardless of the laws of the land. Doing what’s right may be illegal, but per the definition, if you are choosing ethical behavior over obeying the law, […]
Super Bowl Commercials – Do they lie? Part 2
I’m still loving what the Super Bowl commercials were selling. Last week I mentioned my surprise and chagrin when I came across this article by inspirational, minimalist-living-guru Joshua Becker entitled “7 Life Misconceptions Portrayed in the Super Bowl Ads”. I’m just not done with that topic. Because, DUDE, it was the Super Bowl. And they were […]

Super Bowl Commercials – Do they lie?
I hate commercials, but the Super Bowl commercials are pretty fucking decent. It’s true. Super Bowl commercials are usually more poignant, more true to life, funnier, or more pertinent than commercials at any other time of year. So imagine my surprise and chagrin when I came across this article by inspirational, minimalist-living-guru Joshua Becker entitled […]
Triberr is a blog amplification platform, not a place for private clubs.
Apologies: A follow-up. You may recall I recently wrote about the lack of apologies we seem to be moving toward as a culture, and how this is severely hampering our likelihood of taking responsibility for mistakes. It would appear I’m not done with the topic. Last week a discussion began on the bulletin board of […]
What’s Up Wenzday 01/23/13 — Disappointment Edition!
What’s Up Wenzday Point #1: A Note of Clarification — We interrupt this weekly check-in to bring you some very irritating news! No. I’m not going to skip my weekly check-in just to bitch about some assholes being rude to me. That would be pretty childish. So never mind. But wait. I am […]
Goodbye Facebook Part 2
Last week I discussed my personal reasons for wishing I could say, “Goodbye Facebook” and in doing so uncovered a Hipster movement which equates leaving the big EFF-BEE with ordering a tall non-fat mocha latte. Or whatever those specialty diet coffee drinks from StarBucks are called. You know the ones I mean — they cost […]
No apology? I DEMAND an Apology, Damn It!
A half-assed apology is NOT better than no apology whatsoever. This post took a different direction that originally intended. I started out, as promised in my weekly check-in post, “What’s Up Wenzday: Passive-Aggressive Edition”, intent upon bringing to your attention how fucked up I find half-assed apologies to be. I planned to provide an […]
Child of Farmer Rap
Child of Farmer Rap strikes again: BOOM-BOOM DIGGY-DIGGY BOOM-BOOM-BOOM BOOM-BOOM DIGGY-DIGGY BOOM-BOOM-BOOM This is what I hear going by the front of my house about once week. Some hotshot teenager who forgets this is a six-street village surrounded by cornfields. Some punk-ass who wants me to believe he is very, very serious about living […]
