Well, They’re Screwing Us
Maybe, just maybe, you’re not SUPPOSED to be happy. Perhaps you were intended to live a life of pain and sorrow so others will be able to gauge their own happiness. Maybe you exist so people can say, “Thank God I’m not like her!” A few years ago, I had a conversation with a friend […]
Be Kinda Like Jesus
I don’t like New Year’s resolutions. That will surprise nobody who regularly reads my posts. I tend to be contrary about a lot of things. This isn’t a conscious decision. I’m not doing it on purpose. When I was younger, I didn’t realize how “toxic” and “arrogant” and “argumentative” I am. Thanks to years of […]
This Makes No Sense
Some people are good at math. I am not one of those people. In school, I was thrilled with a ‘C’ in arithmetic classes. I suspect I passed Algebra class because the teacher wanted to save himself the headache of dealing with my incompetence for another semester. During a typical, frustrating class session while the […]
Worry About Yourself
“Mom! He’s not doing what you told him to do!” When we were kids, my brother and I took turns tattling on each other. When my brother ratted me out it was because he didn’t understand that I was perfect. When I informed our mother of my brother’s wrong doing, it was because I had […]
Your Brain Is A Sandwich
Have you lived long enough to know everything? Some people have! I’ve met them. They use their own perfect wisdom to measure the truthfulness of my ideas. You may know a person who knows everything or perhaps you ARE such a person. People who know everything quickly identify themselves with the statement, “I’ve never heard […]
Don’t Tell Me Not To Research
Promise me that you’ll laugh and point at me if I ever suggest that ‘common sense’ is all you need in order to see that I’m right. Promise me! Appealing to ‘common sense’ is a lazy way to argue. It requires no communication skills. It requires no data. Ironically, it doesn’t even require any common […]
Go Ahead and Research
Promise me that you’ll laugh and point at me if I ever suggest that ‘common sense’ is all you need in order to see that I’m right. Promise me! Appealing to ‘common sense’ is a lazy way to argue.

Nothing Wrong With Being Right
I wrote a story for everyone who scolds me for needing to be right all the time. There was a girl with an enormous ego who was right about everything. It was her parents’ fault. From the moment she was born, they poisoned her young mind to value correctness. They punished her for telling lies. […]
Keep Praying for Kyle
More than 15 minutes ago somebody said that everyone gets 15 minutes of fame. When your moment of fame is over you need to get off the stage so someone else can have their 15 minutes in the spotlight. So, even though I’ll be called a ‘fascist’ and a ‘snowflake’ and a ‘hater of liberty’ […]
What You Get From Godlessness
Today, I am going to do what I’ve been told is impossible. I’m going to say something more offensive and stupid than my standard commentary. Many people have insisted that “everything I say” is unkind, offensive, thoughtless, and ignorant. If you’re a person who thinks I’ve already sunk to the lowest level achievable by a […]
