I normally don’t comment on petty personal stuff but I’m starting to develop a list of people who routinely piss me off. That means, as my sister put it a long time ago, I’m probably “shoulding people.” Or, as a former roommate explained it to me, I apparently have some […]
Well, but…inspiration can be found almost anywhere
Saruman believes that is only great power that can hold evil in check. But that is not what I have found… I’ve found that it is the small things; every day deeds of ordinary folk that keeps the darkness at bay. Simple acts of kindness and love.(…) -Gandalf: The Hobbit – An […]
Well, but…he *did* ask
I got a text this morning from somebody names Brian from Uber. It stated, and I quote.”Hi Scott. We noticed you haven’t been online recently. Are there any questions I can answer for you?” My questions as follow might not be what he was looking for. My first question was,”Why […]
Well, but…it was rough weekend
I did something this past weekend that I haven’t done in a quite a long time and really tied one on. I got hammered. It was useful inasmuch as it showed me what’s going on with me emotionally. Lots – LOTS – of pent up anger and frustration. Macro anger […]
Well, but…what happens when legitimate racism rears its ugly head
When everything can be called racism then nothing is racism. What will people say when there is an act of racism so blatant, so vile, so notorious it makes all other accusations pale in comparison? There will come a time when people – white people really since they’re the only […]
Well, but… I would take up arms to protect my female cop friends
I’ve spent twenty years give or take being a substitute teacher. I got my social studies credential 12 years ago but I’m a dime a dozen before taking into account that I’m also white. Being 50+ and white there will never be a full time teaching position for me with […]
Well, but…just watch the video
Justice died today. In its place is now only mob rule and vengeance. The defense team in the George Floyd case did enough to cast doubt which *should* have been enough to at last hang the jury on murder charges against Derek Chauvin. But with the Corporate mainstream media and […]
Well, but… I could have made bank!
I don’t normally dwell on failures to act but there are two instances that come to mind that really bother me and both are financial in nature. I am by no means wealthy. As a matter of fact, I was just telling some friends over the past day or two […]
Well, but… what if I refuse to be cancelled?
Just a short post here. I’m curious with all the talk about cancel culture these days what would happen if people just refused to be canceled. Gina Corano is a good example and she said as much when she said “They can’t cancel you if you don’t let them.” You […]
Well, but… I have to work Friday night
I’m running the scoreboard for my local high school football team tomorrow night so I figured drunk posting tonight instead of tomorrow might work. I don’t feel like waiting until after the game to start getting a good post game buzz on. I might anyway but at least I know […]
