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…

My Window Works
I’ve been driving my car now for a few weeks without an operational driver’s side window. My car doesn’t have air-conditioning and it’s been way too hot not to have a functioning window. But I’ve had to make do. I roll down the passenger side window and open up the vents. This works okay on…

Governed by Laws
On Marshall McLuhan… “Take Today underscores his view that all life – mental, material, spiritual, physical – is governed by laws, laws that no one else has even noticed, let alone considered worthy of discussion between the covers of a book. … The laws are infallible – as precise as mathematics, as ubiquitous as weather…

At the Library
So here I sit at the library in the computer lab. There are four rows of computers with four computers in each row. The computers are nice. They all have flat screen privacy monitors. You can’t glance over at your neighbour to see what he is doing because the screen just appears to be black.…

Alone in a Crowd
Last week when I went to the Canada Day Festival, I went by myself. I can sit and watch the bands perform all day long. I like to go to the different stages and see the local up-and-coming talent, as well as the headliners. I sometimes have a hard time finding someone who wants to…

On-line Time Limited
I feel a need to get on-line everyday. Unfortunately, the summer is here and my online access is now somewhat restricted. You see, I don’t have the Internet at home. I have an old and out-dated computer that I use solely for word processing. But I make it work, I write entries at home and…
