It is 4:09 AM. We ate pizza late last night which resulted in some very weird dreams for me. So weird I don’t feel like writing them down in the dream journal but perhaps will write a line or two here. I was in church and Duff McKagan of Guns ‘n Roses and his blonde…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 9.20.2016

Journal Entry – 9.1.2016 – Current Society, Ancient Rome and Business Speak
It is 5:56 AM. I haven’t been to the gym in the while as my body is just tired: it is tired from karate, from endless appointments, from visitors and from stress at work and tired from two young children of mine. Instead of waking up at 4:00 AM as I usually do I just…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 9.1.2016 – Current Society, Ancient Rome and Business Speak
Journal Entry 5.17.2016 – Fight everything everywhere
The last time I saw a movie at the movie theatre was five months ago and the new Star Wars.

Tinder – Dating App – Finding your clone
I’ve heard a lot about the Tinder Dating App in the media recently and just saw this video that was posted on the BBC: #BBCTrending: The secret to a great Tinder photo . I was curious because this technology didn’t exist when I was dating. Luckily for me, I didn’t need technology; I found an entire…… Continue reading Tinder – Dating App – Finding your clone
Grammar Nazis
I’ve noticed a trend towards grammar snobbery on Facebook the past few years. To those with bad grammar I say, be glad! There is no authority of the English language, “rules” are made up as we go along. “In the introduction to the 2003 edition of The King’s English, Matthew Parris reminds us that, “There…… Continue reading Grammar Nazis
The Decision to Have a Child
Today in the news I caught a headline about a certain celebrity couple that is ready to “start pumping out kids.” This got me thinking about how much thought people in general really give to have children and their reasons for doing so. Now, when we discuss this with others and think about it ourselves…… Continue reading The Decision to Have a Child
Babies and Zen
