TEN HAMMERS? THINGS IN THE HOUSE WHEN ONE IS ENOUGH

Ten hammers ought to be enough? Who has ten hammers? Me. And they’re all looking for a nail.

WAR ORIGINS: WWII ON TWITTER

War origins bring out the experts on Twitter. With warnings on what to pay attention to, what to ignore. It wasn’t a bad take, just wrong.

MUSK MANDATE RALLY CALL

With a Musk Mandate coming maybe it’s a good idea to know more about Elon Musk, THE MAN. A more responsible blogger might dig into biography, astrology, and significant ontology. Or Wikipedia. Come on. The bio reads a little different, but what would you expect.

DISCOMFORT LEVEL FOR NOISE, WATER, AND ELON MUSK

I set my discomfort level running a marathon in new insoles. It was my only marathon. Training rules say don’t run in new shoes, not insoles. By five miles my feet were on fire. I ran past it. I squeezed sponge water down my neck at an eight mile water station. It drained down my […]

MENTAL CONDITIONING WITH PLATO FOR THE LIFE WIN

Mental conditioning and physical conditioning combine for the mind-body perfection of human beings. That’s the ideal according to Coach Plato, who was quite a combo on his own. The Athenian philosopher Plato (c.428-347 B.C.) is one of the most important figures of the Ancient Greek world and the entire history of Western thought. An important […]

DOING ‘MY RESEARCH’ FOR EXTRA CREDIT

Hearing about people doing ‘my research’ gives me hope. Before making a big decision it’s best to know all you can about the possible outcomes, the likely effects, and how you would benefit.

BANDWAGON RIDERS: DON’T KICK ‘EM WHEN THEY FALL OFF

Bandwagon riders have difficult decisions to make everyday. Why? Because there’s always a new bandwagon to jump on. And it comes in many forms. Remember jogging? “Hey, let’s take a ten mile run to warm up.” “Great, then we’ll do it again tomorrow. It makes me feel so good.” Tomorrow: “I can’t move. My feet […]

THOUGHT CONTROL? FIRST FIND A BRAIN

Thought control is an accusation slung by those who need you to agree with them. Based on their outlook and attitude, if you don’t agree it’s because you’ve been brainwashed. Like that’s a bad thing all the time. If you join the Army you get a good wash, learn to help others, at the same […]

CONSISTENCY HABIT? WHAT YOU DO IS WHO YOU ARE

If a consistency habit sounds like one step away from living in a rut, then you’re doing it wrong. A rut, or living in a rut, is the hole you’ve been digging. When life said ‘Dig in’ you started and never stopped, never asked why. That’s a rut you’ve been plowing, my friends, and I’m […]
