https://youtu.be/M9E7oaqZZOE?si=Lz_exi1PpnK8hM58 A couple years ago I had a bout of insomnia. I finally got up at some ridiculous hour and turned on the tv hoping to reset my brain and go back to sleep. I browsed through Netflix and landed on Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee where Jerry Seinfeld takes famous comedic actors to coffee, … Continue reading “Death Will be a Relief.”
The SHETT
I was on the treadmill the other day, on my second km of a 5k run, when something terrible happened: my headphones died. My music helps me set my pace, so without it I started singing a little song in my head, which often ends up being “The Star Spangled Man with a Plan” from … Continue reading Overthinking It: Where did Captain America Learn to Fight?
My 3 regular readers (if they’re paying attention) know that I love movies. A large portion of posts on my blog are dedicated to movies. My wife and I often rate movies and tv shows on IMDB, and it may surprise you to know that we have rated over 800 titles, and none of them … Continue reading How to Enjoy Bad Movies.
So... no blog post last week. It's kinda interesting how much I feel like I need to explain why I missed last week, but I’m not going to. It’s not because I don’t want anyone to know (there is a perfectly legitimate reason) but because I feel like it’s actually a good topic to cover … Continue reading Get Back to Work!
It seems to me that the Golden Age of Streaming is over. My wife and I subscribe to several services and it seems to be more and more difficult to find new, quality programs; and far too many new programs that we do enjoy are getting canceled before their time. I read recently that one … Continue reading The Golden Age of Streaming is Over.
In today’s capitalist and advertising environment, products and “life hacks” designed to make our lives easier have become a major component of our lifestyle, and even our culture. One would think that making our lives easier is a good thing, but it is not always good. The end goal of our efforts should be to … Continue reading Easier vs Better.
Deep inside me there is a core of self doubt, uncertainty, and general lack of self confidence. It is something I have dealt with for years. (And have mentioned several times before in my blog.) Knowing my uncertainty and self doubt is there is a huge step in dealing with it, and two of the … Continue reading The Power of Self Talk
I've never really liked the scene in Avengers: Infinity War where Peter Quill (aka: Starlord) punches Thanos and wakes him from Mantis' trance just as the glove was being removed. From a movie perspective, I totally get it. It makes for a more entertaining movie, but I didn’t think the scene really worked. Up until … Continue reading Overthinking It: Starlord Punching Thanos
I’m sure all three of my regular readers have noticed that other than my New Year post, I haven’t written a blog for MONTHS!! Shortly after that last blog (WAY back in Feb 2023) my world got hectic, my work got bonkers, and I became very busy. Then summer rolled in and I was riding … Continue reading Growing Old is Good!
It's that time of year again, where everyone starts making resolutions and plans for the upcoming year. I read somewhere that by February most resolutions (something like 80%) have been forgotten or set aside. It's not difficult to figure out that this happens because people set unrealistic goals. The key to setting reasonable goals is … Continue reading Obligatory New Year Post
