You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy! SWI. No that’s not the international postal code for Switzerland. It stands for Shopping While Impaired. We’ve all done it. It’s not a sin. It’s not cause for alarm. No need for a 12 step program. It simply is one of those things that sooner or […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ Luck of the Irish. It’s March 17th, St. Patrick’s Day. For some reason, that was never fully explained to me, I am suppose to wear green today. I walk into my closet. That’s when I notice green is not a major weapon in my apparel arsenal. I […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ The sweeping wave of new technology. It’s a festering swarm of digital bees stinging my brain. Just when I figure out the latest thing, I am assaulted by another wave of invisible apps and internet advances that renders me even more feckless than the week before. […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy. Utah lowering its DUI threshold to .05%. If it passes, and it is expected it will, Utah will have the toughest DUI law in the country. Some applaud the measure. Others say that’s a beer or a glass of wine? Come on, be real? Some restaurants […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ Super Flex Tape. It’s a commercial for tape. An entire 1 minute long testimonial to the adhesive power of a tape so strong, it is apparently endorsed by NASA as a back up for solar panel repairs. I stare at the dumpling pitch man with the […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ Cemetery Vandals. I just talked to a mother who is beside herself with grief. “Who could do this?,” she mutters aloud. She went to visit her deceased babies at the city cemetery. That’s when she found that someone, for some reason, stole little hearts and teddy […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ Breviloquence: It means the Brevity of Speaking. Shortness of duration; especially shortness or conciseness of expression. The opposite of this is Prolixity: extended to great, unnecessary, or tedious length; long and wordy. These are the Ying and Yang of my writing existence. Too Much versus Too […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll Tell you what’s crazy™ Information versus Affirmation. Are you getting news that is unadulterated? Or is your news source a Russian Hooker working a back alley winking at you, enticing you to spend a few minutes on the dark side? I was wondering about information versus affirmation the other day […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ Bringing a kidnapping suspect to a movie. Movie Theater ettiquete is a time honored barometer of social behavior. You don’t kick the seat in front of you. You don’t talk loudly or get up incessantly. For god’s sakes, chew your pop corn silently, sloth man. But […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ The morning pet. The bedroom is still and quiet. It’s that twilight time when sleep still saturates your brain like a deep fluffy pillow. But awake is stirring, pawing at your neural net, letting your body know it is time to get up. Is it a […]
