I like frogs

I gotta stop writing these angry blogs.
I'm just in a very unusual and stressful financial situation right now.
I was going to try and wait until this left the main page before deleting it, as a matter of face or class or something like that, but forget it.

Claimer: I want to apologize beforehand for anything offensive that you may read in this blog. The following information is probably going to be largely based on a point of view that is not universal and potentially aggressive.


I recently read an article suggesting that modern atheists are not only more moral than most Christians, but also more educated in all things, including Christianity and other religions in general. It was filled with solid information that, by and large, ...

I used to work at a bar restaurant, so most of my time was spent squelching my fury, working out math in my head to determine how long I had before I needed to speak with anybody at my many tables in order to make my customers feel like they were enjoying a genuine experience and looking at the rear ends of all the 18-25 year old babes who knew that wearing tights is a great way to make better tips. On the off days, I could walk up to one of them and say something like, "Man it's slow. At least ...

As you're well aware, I tend to ruin my reputation at the very moment it starts moving up.
If you are not aware, I suggest you become one. We could use more wares. Lerts too.
Anyway, I suppose it's time for me to whine and gripe about how fat I've become since I quit ranching and became a desk jockey, writing and working computers and all that other sedentary work.
It happened at that peculiar time in a man's life where his metabolism starts slowing. Age crept up on me as I crept ...

Here is a loose list of all the jobs I have had. It should indicate the sorts of things I am most proficient at:
Yardman, Machinist/Mechanic, Dockrat, Server, Cold Call Advertising Salesman (not proficient), Server, Writing Editor, Power Generation, Cement Worker (construction?), Farmer, Rancher (cows, pigs, chickens, horses. Not the geese. I hate geese.), Teacher (middle school - Holy Hell! Not proficient.), Professor, Store Manager.

In most casual conversation, this is what ...

Generally, I don't think much about politics.
I kinda understand that Republicans will support Christian values, even though the individuals are simply doing it to hang on o a certain voter segment, and they seem to help keep taxes lower for businessmen.
I know that poor people are more affluent when democrats get into office, and, in kind of a backward way, that can make up for heavier taxes on small businesses, although it is killing people this time around, unlike when Clinton was ...

First of all, the name is absolutely terrible. If I tell somebody, "Hey, I'm gonna go ahead and do some squats," the uninformed listener would be like, "wtf?"

Before I knew what a squat was, I always thought of it as an adjective for a particularly unattractive mossy stump or maybe the awkward position we try to pull when we gotta do, uh, number 2 in a port-o-potty.

Now that I know what it is, I still don't like it because it [I]is[/I] an awkward position ...

A pencil is not more than one pencil. It is a single pencil. As such, it ought to be referred to as a single pencil and not more than one pencil.
There are writing tactics to make this happen, preventing any reader confusion over how many pencils are being referred to at any given time, be it one or more than one. These grammatical institutions are commonly known as plural or singular. A singular object is singular because it is a single object, as opposed to more than one object [double ...

EDITED:
I shouldn't talk about my patrons this way. They are all wonderful people, and if I didn't love them or want to do what I do for them, I wouldn't be in this business. My problems as a store owner are mine alone, as well as the decision to succeed or fail.

Although I am more inclined to talk about myself than any other important issues in the world, self-centered little prig that I am, I am sure that you have all been waiting for me to wield the mighty powers of my incredibly useful English degree in order to write highly educational seminars on grammar, punctuation and sentence structure via my blogs!

Congratulations my friends, foes and unassuming passerbys! Today is the day that you have been waiting for!!!!

Let's talk ...
