Follow-Up on Lies
My semi-recent post on compulsive liars wasn’t my best writing, went off the rails, and was kind of a rambling mess. This one probably won’t be much better, but meh. Maybe we’ll manage to stay a little more on topic here at least, we’ll see. Anyway as you may have guessed the previous post was…

Home Thermodynamics
I know it is a strange concept for many people to wrap their heads around (because I’ve had to explain it entirely too many times in recent history) – but opening your refrigerator/freezer, or setting up a portable air conditioning unit in the center of a room *with no heat exhaust to send the heat…

Kirk vs Picard
Ah the age old stereotypical Nerd question: Which Star Fleet Captain was better – Kirk or Picard? Picard. Not even a contest. Frankly, the original Star Trek was an interesting premise that opened a new realm of realistic science fiction and I love it for that – but the show itself was mediocre at best…

Compulsive Liars
I don’t really understand people who feel the need to lie compulsively, even when there is no gain from it, or could actually be negative impacts vs just telling the truth. I don’t mean just lying in general. Almost all of us lie, I am no exception to this rule – but most of us…

Sparks
Many have compared life to the journey of a spark that rises from the fire, drifts with the breeze, and finally fades to ashes. Further analogies can be drawn using the facts that every spark stays burning for a different length of time, some sparks travel a long distance while others end up right back…

Favourites
“What is your favourite Movie?” I dunno “What is your favourite Music/Song?” I dunno What is your favourite Food?” I dunno “What is your favourite Colour?” I dunno You would think someone would know their own favourite things right? It seems obvious! And so these are so often the go-to questions when starting conversations with…

Lord of the Flies
“Lord of the Flies” is a fictional novel which you may or may not have heard of, or even read. I’m sure it varies by region and changes over time – but when I was in grade school we had to read this book no less than *5* times for different classes, then discuss, analyze,…

Why?
Why write a blog I don’t know if I even want anyone to see? I don’t really know. I also don’t know how much I’ll actually use it.. But I guess I just want the option to put some thoughts out there hypothetically for the world to see, even if I’m not sure I want…

Random Poetry
The fat brown cat tripped over the silver spoon. A monkey may write Shakespeare, but I am a baboon. Yet fortune smiles upon us all, this rhyme is ending soon. So tip your hat, and bid a friendly farewell. Though not music to your ear, at least it wasn’t Hell. If I should have the…
