Sunday Reflections – For My Soul

I know this may come as a surprise to many of you, but I get so caught up in trying not to offend anyone that I sometimes lose sight of the “self-therapy” notion that inspired me to start blogging in the first place. Well my friends, at the risk of scaring off the tiny handful of people that actually come here, I’ve decided to let it all (well, maybe just some of it) hang out for a change. But for those of you who disapprove…

Umm, Do I Smell Onions Cooking?

Don’t you just hate it when real life intrudes on your mockery of how absurd real life can be? Well, such was the case a couple of weeks back, when, just as I’d begun collecting links to funny videos from The Onion for an all-out “Smell The Onions” post, the folks at The Onion managed to get themselves all caught up in a damned “mockery gone too far” controversy. Yikes!

“Spacehead” Reflections

“You’re an interesting species. An interesting mix. You’re capable of such beautiful dreams, and such horrible nightmares. You feel so lost, so cut off, so alone, only you’re not. See, in all our searching, the only thing we’ve found that makes the emptiness bearable, is each other.” The Alien from Contact

Damn – No “Haven” in that Storm!

Oh dear, it appears that “The Gawds” were angered by my choice of A “Haven” In The Storm as the title for my last post, because, after watching the Haven marathon all day yesterday and anxiously awaiting (with DVR set) last night’s Season 3 premiere…

We’ve all known people who talk to themselves, people who sometimes squinch their faces into horrible grimaces when they believe no one is watching, people who…

53 Years of Nuclear Testing in 14 Minutes

Well, I think my “disturbing information” quota has been filled for the day… Japanese artist Isao Hashimoto has created a beautiful, undeniably scary time-lapse map of the 2053 nuclear explosions which have taken place between 1945 and 1998, beginning with the Manhattan Project’s “Trinity” test near Los Alamos and concluding with Pakistan’s nuclear tests in…

The Most Blasphemous Thing You’ll See All Day.

Oh the arrogance of mere mortals who believe gods depend on their protection. I’m sure they’d be laughing their asses off if they actually existed, assuming, of course, they’d waste time paying attention to totally insignificant gnats… LMFAO!!!

I’ve Seen All Good People

My doctors tell me that the chemical imbalance at the root of my depression causes me to see more darkness in the world than what there actually is. Sort of like going through life wearing dark sunglasses. I told them that I think depression is the sane reaction to living in a world filled with…
