What is This?
It seems that he has lost what was left of his sanity. Saneness is in the mind of the beholder. Little voice in one’s head may be dismissed as Cacophony. Phooey-phooey, you may say. Or you did say if you are reading aloud. Sunglasses worn over top of your hat are cool. Life is ……

The First Silent Cacophony
I was doing some major cleaning and decluttering on the weekend and I came across something that I thought was lost – the original Silent Cacophony book. I couldn’t believe I actually found it. I screamed out loud and jumped around at the discovery of this small coil notebook. It meant a lot to me…

A Teacher in the Summer
What does a teacher do in the summer? It’s a good question and one that I’ve actually been asked to address on this blog. So here goes, Teachers don’t make a lot of money when they first start out. In fact, I still have a hard time making ends meet. But since I have been…

How Many Elements?
How many elements are there in this world? Modern scientists would probably argue that there are hundreds. They would be able to prove and show how each of the elements differ and how they all deserve to have their own classification. I often think that science looks at too many things. I think that scientists…

Love At First Sight
I believe in love at first sight. It’s happened to me before. Unfortunately when it did happen, I didn’t act on it and I have never seen her again. It was about ten years ago but her image remains burned in my brain. One of my biggest regrets in life is that I never ran…

Can Guys and Girls be Friends?
This is an age-old debate that spans all the way back to 1989. At least that’s when I first heard of it. It was the theme of one of the greatest movies of all time, When Harry Met Sally. Harry felt that guys and girls couldn’t be friends. He thought that sex would always be…

Something Had To Go
I have to tighten up my belt. Trim my spending. Pinch my pennies. I’m sure you know what that’s like. I looked at a few things in my life and really thought about all the spending that I do. I needed to cut back on it. I’ve never been one to budget. I’m not the…

Story is the Nature of Reality
I have this great theory that Story is the nature of reality. I have been posting up quotations that seem to help prove this theory on my commonplace book blog, Thoughtful Cacophony. I have been writing entries on this theory here every week as well. I call this feature, Storied Thursdays. I have chapters listed…

Feeling Mediocre
I can’t help it sometimes. I look at how well other people do things and compare myself to them. I don’t know why I do this, but I do. The only outcome of it is that I end up feeling mediocre. I don’t feel that I do anything great. I don’t seem to excel at…
