How ironic that I chose to start my then and now blog drafts today. I was channel surfing today in pursuit of the perfect Saturday afternoon movie. You know the type: Light and breezy, you've seen it at least ten times and it in no way reminds you of some ex-lover. I was about to cruise the dreaded networks (because they edit and show commercials) when I came across w
That was the most "out of left-field" reaction to your post of the 60 responses. Way to keep it in perspective eh?.
Dr Guy funny you should comment, I was just reading you. Good shit. OBTW did that idiot in comments on your 5 year old girl article really call you a "racist asshole?". Mac
Be a decent person. While it may sound like a blanket statement, my father's advice became the cornerstone of my approach to life. He always said it to me. Don't worry about how much you don't have, forget your mistakes, things always work out. Just be likeable, someone that others want to be around. Especially to yourself. So early on I adopted the following tr
Just a little aside. I am not a new member, just a revived one. For some unknown reason I have not blogged since September of last year. I just stopped and I shouldn't have. I love to writeand I really enjoy sharing my life with anyone who cares to read me. I love feedback and I am not averse to constructive criticism or opposing viewpoints. A liitle about me
are you old enough to remember the "baby on board" window signs? Nothing stinks of irony like being passed @ 85 in a 55mph sone by a "safe" Volvo station wagon full of rugrats with a "baby on board" sign in the back window.
I'm actually not new to JU, but I haven't posted in over a year. Good to be back!
As fair-minded as I try to be about civil liberties, they are definitely abused by over zealous agenda-pushing activists. I live in Massachusetts, the land of the activist Judge. We live in a country where people will burn a flag for no other reason but because they were told they can't. But eventually they will bite themselves in the ass. Before you speak for someone make sure they want you to. Great post, I will read you oftern.
Interesting question. The president doesn't have to answer to his own country as a lame duck but if the international community coughs at one of our policies he sends a multi-billion dollar cough drop because he is concerned about the "New Iraq". Poor people have always been there, not his fault.
No, I'm sorry but that wasn't me. I didn't just say that. It couldn't have been me. That is something my father would say. OK rewind, what just happened? Did I just say "kids today?" What is wrong with me? I used to be such a young guy. Even when some of my friends started acting "mature" I remained young at heart (sure, call it immature and juvenile I pref
Gid: You have covered Russia quite well, i read your stuff and agree. Thanks for the good word.
"Where were you when..." A common question asked throughout the generations. It is most usually asked in reference to tragedies. History is overfull of great tragedies that bring people back to the very place they were standing when it happened. In my Grandfather's generation it was the crash of Wall Street in '29, the attack on Pearl Harbor, the surrender
Geezer: Wonderful post. It needs to be said and nobody could say it better than you. I remember that bombing, it was the year I graduated High School. I joined the military two years later.The enemy of our country was clear but the American public didn't respond accordingly because it hadn't come to the homeland. I was diappointed htat Reagan didn't respond as he had in Tripoli but there were of course diplopatic considerations. But i
Part of being American is to want to slap the face off of an idiot but be willing to die for their right to piss you off. Good for you, Great post. Where's the outrage? The only opinion that matters is an informed one.
I played the last round of golf of the year with my dad today at our favorite course in Maine. While I may play again this year I most likely will not get to play with him until next summer. Golf is the first sport that has bonded my father and I. We have always watched Baseball and Football rabidly and as a kid he coached my baseball teams. But the only sp
when you get sexually satisfied squeezing into a tight parking space. when your kids think Metallica belongs on a oldies station. great post geezer but you are only as young as the people you feel. Macdaddy
Texas Wahine: Kudos to you as well. I have nothing to hide so I say and write whatever. It creates security, not reflects it. Gemini: I am a Cancer. But the astrological descriptions don't fit me at all. Apdelong: If you are at your age what I am at 40+, you must truly be someone to be around. Be yourself and everything will fall into place.
I'm really enjoying JoeUSer. There are some great writers out here that I really want to get to know. And eventually I would like some of you to get to know me. But I can' t post at the rate that some of you do. And I'm really not into the whole "about me" thing. If you want to know anything about me just read any post of mine. I unabashedly bare my soul in my posts,
Set the way back machine for Holiday Office Party, December '03. A chance to do my favorite things. Imbibe at an open bar, talk about work incessantly and meet the spouses and significant others of those co-workers who may or not realize that they have become very near and dear to your heart. Two hours, and several cocktails, had passed and I had met some gr
29, holy shit. I'm more conservative than I thought!
There's nothing wrong with being liberal. As long as you are an informed person who honors others wiewpoints. Here is food for thought: the polar opposite of the Looney Left is the Religious Right. Wouldn't you feel better knowing that you are not a closed-minded, homophobic, xenophobic anti-intellectual? But in fact are the opposite. It doesn't put you on par with Teddy and Hilary at all. I'm from Mass I know.
Congrats Gid: as a father of four I think that you're nuckin' futs but it's good to have at least one other person in your household that can see the male perspective.
Draginol I bow before you. I feel like I wrote that post! Wow! It is amazing how few people see that the mainstream media is biased to the point of exclusion to leftist philosophy. Thank you for pointing it out in a non-boisterous manner. In the end it is all about the issues baby!
great post Sally Where do I begin? Kristy seems like an amazing child. The key to surviving all obstacles in life, from career to mortality, is attitude. one of my customers is the father of a 4 year old girl with a rare form of leukemia. She is a beuatiful child and is very mentally strong but physically exhausted. Yet her resilience motivates her dad to get through each day. i am a cancer survivor myself and my Doctors were amazed at my
OckhamsRazor: Not only did I read Atlas Shrugged, I read it twice. It changed my life forever. In fact, in re-reading my post I was surprised to see how much Objectivism has permeated my thinking. But in truth it just confirmed and upheld what I've always felt. That achievement and accomplishment define the individual. That the enemy of success is complacency and the true downfall of anything is finger-pointing and excuse-making. Of c
