Everyone gossips. Or so some say. I don’t readily believe that. There are some who are vaults and can take a secret to their grave. However, I do believe 99.9% do gossip. But there is a spectrum. Gossip can go from mild and vanilla to spicy and a […]
In my view and orbit, you don’t get a trophy for participating. Well, not just for participating. There’s participation that entails satisficing (doing the bare minimum) and then there’s participation where you really give it your all. The latter gets recognition. The problem is many people just want […]
Sometimes you have to say what’s the point? Shrug. Move on. There’s really no point in trying to convince the unconvinceable. Did I just make up a word? Some people just want a target. Some people just want to hate somebody. They are filled with undirected anger. And, […]
Everywhere we turn, we hear about heroes. Everyone is a hero this day. The word, in all honesty, appears to have lost some of it cache and meaning. This is not the first time I discuss this. Years ago I talked about hero worship. And, that was years […]

I’m going to admit right off the bat I have watched almost all of Tom Cruise’s movies. And, I will also admit to liking most of his films. There’s action. There’s intrigue. There’s mayhem. There’s his silly grin that actually annoys me but tends to work in his […]
There are a lot of thieves out there. People who take great glee in taking from you. Sounds bitter? Rings of truth? Could go either way. There are a lot of people out there who want to stamp out your fire. Not a blazing, scary, wild fire. But […]
Here’s a short and sweet (actually more like prune juice) bit of advice for consideration: ignore gossip! Here’s the thing. Those who gossip to you, gossip about you. Plain and simple. Gossip is currency and hardly anyone gives anything away for free. Gossipers are gnats. They are moving […]
