Entries from September 2007

My thoughts today… Our country is at war right now; some are for it, some aren’t. I really don’t wish to discuss it, however, it’s just one of those random thoughts…some call it that, and some don’t. [Read more →]

Improving your Game

 

September 26, 2007

Whatever we choose to do for a living (whether we like our profession or not) or hobby, if you want to improve your game, you gotta see how the successful people in your field have done it before. If you’re a computer person, it would behoove you to read a book by Bill Gates. [...] [Read more →]

Medicinal Patrol

 

September 24, 2007

Ate at a picnic yesterday; great food. Didn’t know anyone; they’re all my Dad’s friends. Pharmacist by trade my Dad is, so are most of his friends. All the pretty girls were taken, and the only thing the men would talk about are new drugs on the market. I [...] [Read more →]

7 Years

 

September 22, 2007

I look at my life right now, and realize it’s not what I pictured it would be let’s say…about seven years ago. Not that I’m unhappy about where I am; I actually feel blessed about some of the occurrences happening for me, but it’s different. It simply makes me wonder where I will [...] [Read more →]

An Old Termite’s Plea

 

September 21, 2007

So I went outside to retrieve my mail just the other day, and one letter in particular gained my attention. Size matters; big or small. This letter was 1/2″ x 1/2″ (literally; I measured it), and the writing was so small that my eyes began to water from the pressure of concentrating. [...] [Read more →]

Gum, da, dum, dum, Gum!

Society should be more careful what they throw out of their car window. Personally, I’m not an advocate of littering, but if you’re inclined to do this, this is something you should consider. Some time ago, I was at a traffic light, about three cars away from the light. It was red. [...] [Read more →]

Big and Blessed

 

September 18, 2007

I consider myself a blessed man. There is no prevailing sickness in my life; crime organizations don’t have a contract for my head (or any other body part for that matter); I’ve had goals in my life that I’ve achieved. But the “big one”…yes, we’re all after the “big one”. The “big [...] [Read more →]

The Perfect Day

 

September 17, 2007

There is a legend, maybe just the whisper of a rumor, of a place and time more mystical and elusive than Xanadu, El Dorado, etc. That place and time is the perfect day! Oh, there are plenty of good and bad days. Not quite as many great or horrible days. But [...] [Read more →]

Running to and From Uncertainty

 

September 14, 2007

An old friend of mine; to protect the innocent, we’ll call him Jake. Saw him in town today. I yelled out his name; he was good twenty yards away. He looked in my general direction, dropped the the soft drink he was drinking, and begin backing away. “Jake, I said, it’s [...] [Read more →]

Canton, Mississippi

 

September 13, 2007

Canton, the town in which my parents live, has an unusual welcome sign. In order to save tax-payers money, the town council decided to have one sign, placing the “Welcome to Canton” on one side and “You’re leaving Canton” on the other. This is what it says on both sides… verbatim: On the welcome [...] [Read more →]
