I saw a post on Facebook about bullying, this morning, which got me thinking about things. It seems that a lot of us experienced some bullying in some shape or form. Whether it was spreading rumors, leading to the ostracization of someone, verbal bullying, or even physical bullying. Personally, I experienced the latter two. But […]
Read more "Bullying-Make it STOP…"The year is 2014. We still have much racism in the world. Why?? Why do some white people think they are better than black people? Why do some black people think they are better than white people? This has gone on, my entire life. Growing up and living in the south, it seems to flourish. […]
Read more "Racism in 2014 (OR: What the Hell is Wrong With People???)"Well, I decided to take a trip down memory lane by going to Norfolk/Virginia Beach. 25 years ago, I was stationed there on board the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71). I was 20 years old, when I went on board for the first time. I read, online, that it was going to move to […]
Read more "Time Travel – Visiting My Old Ship (USS Theodore Roosevelt CVN-71)"For years, now, I have more or less bad-mouthed America because of the bad things some of us do. I hated how we went to other countries and tried to be “Big Brother” all over the place, making enemies, left and right. I hated how most of the American population cheered this behavior on. It […]
Read more "I’m Glad I Live in America…"From the earliest of ages, we see certain people do certain things. From that standpoint, we form affection for these people. We buy (or beg our parents to buy) posters, action figures, toys based on them, trading cards, you name it. Anyone remember “Colorforms?” When I was a kid, I got the Colorforms of my heroes, […]
Read more "Why we are not our heroes…"A few years ago, I created a Facebook group for the people I grew up with in Richmond County, NC. I called it “Richmond County 80s Kids.” The goal was to have a place where we all could talk and reminisce of times gone past. Why? Simple, really. It all boils down to life and […]
Read more "The Past (Youth) And The Present (Middle Age)…"How, you may ask? Simple, everything in your entire world is your perception. When you meet someone, you form a perception of that person. That person may be entirely different than what you perceive, but you will still see them in your own way. Sit three people down and choose a topic to discuss. Any […]
Read more "The Universe is Perception"This is a chronicle of the events of the last ten minutes, here at work… I go to the Pepsi machine to get a Pepsi. I slide my dollar in – Check. I pop my quarter in – Check. I press the Pepsi button – Check. BAM!! Sold out trickles across the screen. I push […]
Read more "Ten Minute Chronicle – The Soda Machine"Why is it that young people always go out of their way to do stupid shit, in the never-ending quest to be cool? What, exactly, is “cool,” anyway? I remember thinking so-and-so was “cool,” back in junior high and high school. Most of them turned out to be total losers and idiots. Where is the […]
Read more "Being Cool VS Being Intelligent (OR: About Me)"I was riding to Rockingham (my hometown, in North Carolina), listening to a CD of music I got off the net and it hit me.. Things have really changed, since 1980. Back then, most everyone listened to the same types of music, watched the same TV shows, and shared the same interests… With the phenomenal […]
