Motivation

I’ve been having some trouble getting anything accomplished the past few days.  For example, this morning I planned to drink heavily all day, but I just never got around to it.

An alternate wording

AKA: let me fix that for you. I was perusing Facebook a couple of days ago (yes, I know it was a mistake, but sometimes I just can’t help myself) when I noticed one of those slogan/graphic thingys on the wall of one of my left-leaning facebook friends.  It said: “small government” is fascist dog […]

Politics Comments (1)

Well, this is embarrassing.

I”ve been away from Ratlands so long that I forgot the login password. I’ve been busy, but not that busy.  I’ve just been unable to bring myself to write about politics.  Longtime reader, former co-worker, and friend, Larry e-mailed me about 6 weeks ago summarizing his assessment of our (then) current situation.  While I agree […]

Old Coot Accessories

I mentioned recently that I had an almost irresistible urge to yell at some kids to get off my lawn. This is better.

You know how you can buy alarm clocks that wake you up with gradually increasing sounds of nature?  This is way better.

Tattoo time

When I was 14, I decided to get my ear pierced after seeing Orson Bean on the Tonight Show.  I got it done when I was 27. When I was in my early 20′s I decided to get a tattoo.  I’ve spent the last 30 years deciding what to get.  I wanted to make sure […]

Some days…

First thing this morning I called my former employer (yuhgg) to talk to a former co-worker (meh) to get the name of a reputable tattoo artist (cool). Spent most of the rest of the day working on homework for my XHTML class.  Seems the instructor actually wants us to build web pages and stuff. Actually, […]

More on Time

Since I spent the day getting drunks and guys who can’t be bothered to get a valid drivers license out of jail, I didn’t get a chance to go visit my dad Sunday.  We spent a couple of hours on the phone tonight, which is unusual because I don’t usually talk to anybody that long […]

The Law of Inverse Time Availability

You need cash.  You’re in no hurry.  You pull up to the ATM.  Not a car in sight.  In and out. 30 seconds, tops. You’re on your lunch hour.  You really need to get back to work.  You decide to grab some cash and a quick bite.  The Law of Inverse Time Availability dictates that […]
