Postulates & Pasttimes My Solution to the Gas Crisis! Posted: Mon, 12 May 2008 11:51:59 +0000   Forget food-price-gauging ethanol production; forget uber-expensive hybrid vehicles, and forget flux capacitors; I have a way to cut down on the demand for gasoline going into the hot summer months when everyone is racing to the beaches and casinos. I’d like to start a campaign called, “Take A Kid On Vacation!” or TAKOV! TAKOV! is a [...] Hollywood, is not America…(ripped off "Blessed Union of Souls" new song) Posted: Wed, 07 May 2008 13:11:37 +0000   I ‘m considering changing my nickname for MLI because he’s really starting to come into his own. He’s still not “out there” when it comes to new situations, but when he’s around his homey’s, he’s quite the little leader. And I got to thinking this morning, based on their personalities today, what if I [...] Free at Last, Free at Last Posted: Tue, 06 May 2008 12:32:47 +0000   Do you ever wonder, as you sit there thinking to yourself, “Man, people are cows,” if other people are looking at you and thinking, “Man, people are cows“? Right? I mean, we all like to think that we’re free-thinkers and that we’re above the herd mentality, but when it comes down to it, when we’re [...] "I, state your name…" Posted: Mon, 05 May 2008 01:21:14 +0000   Tomorrow, my dear friends, is the day I have to drive back downtown and make up my day o’ standby Jury Duty. You’ll recall how I dragged a leg down there last time after having pulled my back out and threw myself on the mercy of the passionless woman behind the bullet proof glass [...] You just thought I took a day off! Posted: Fri, 02 May 2008 11:39:46 +0000  I forgot to mention that I stuck a new post up over at DadBloggers so hop on over there and give some hardworking Dad’s some LUV! Do the clicky thing HERE Whereas I say "crap" far too often Posted: Wed, 30 Apr 2008 15:21:49 +0000   With Mother’s Day coming up oh-so-quickly, I know that I have a finite amount of time to force coerce help the kids to do some crafty project for Mother’s Day, else I end up just getting some worthless trinket for them to give her. There are a couple of obstacles in the way of [...] It’s that craaazy time of year again! Posted: Mon, 28 Apr 2008 13:27:25 +0000   Each year around this time, I go into scramble mode for gifts. With Mother’s day falling usually on or around my birthday, it’s easy to forget that there’s other stuff going on–like CareerMom’s birthday! (she’s older than me by three days) And when you have kids, it doubles your responsibility. For example, instead of [...] What’s a few calories among friends? Posted: Wed, 23 Apr 2008 12:21:02 +0000   Despite being the runt of the litter, when I was a child, I played all kinds of sports. Back in L.A. (Lower Alabama) our mainstays were baseball and football, with a smattering of other sports. But back then, soccer wasn’t respectable and you can forget about any other European-inspired sport such as lacrosse. My [...] Today, on earth day, I weep for my country Posted: Tue, 22 Apr 2008 11:55:02 +0000   Heard this morning on my Sirius radio, while tuned to “American Morning” a CNN production: Regarding what Pennsylvanian’s want the Democrat candidates to address: “...and Maria wants middle-class reform, “After FICA gets paid and after Fannie-Mae gets paid, and the other bills…momma only has about two hundred dollars to go out with!” I swear to all things [...] I’ve Forgotten What This Post is About Already Posted: Mon, 21 Apr 2008 12:08:11 +0000   When you were little, do you remember how excited you used to get about going somewhere fun? And I bet that when you were getting to ready to leave, you made sure you had everything right? Going to the pool:  “Got bathing suit…check. Got flippers, mask, squirt gun, flip flops and balls. Joey is soooo gonna [...]
