Going Back On My Word: 2016 Resolutions
It took about 12 hours before I decided to actually write some resolutions, contrary to the end of my 2015 Recap post. I didn't want to rush and write down the standard "new year, new me" resolutions; I wanted to think about things that didn't go as planned or wanted in 2015 (and previous years) … Continue reading Going Back On My Word: 2016 Resolutions
A Wild, But Not-Wild, 2015
2015, overall, was a pretty good year, both outside and inside the Terrordome. Not a lot of exciting social events happened for me but that wasn't always a bad thing. However, there were quite a few peaks, valleys, plateaus, barriers, and roadblocks that I had to navigate over, around, and through. In no particular order, … Continue reading A Wild, But Not-Wild, 2015
“Short Circuits”: Time to Clear Off Your Desk
The State Auditor launched an investigation into "your" Board of Trustees and the Foundation that "your group"'s endowment. Accusations of racism are filed against the same Board, regarding its racial makeup. (Now including a recently-filed lawsuit.) A sex scandal is still hovering over "your group"'s highest-profile entity. The FBI is now investigating "your group". "You" pose in silly, badly-timed, kind-of offensive … Continue reading “Short Circuits”: Time to Clear Off Your Desk
Inside The Terrordome: “B+ Player”
I hope that the live version of "The Wiz" re-airs on NBC soon. I missed it but have heard great things about it.

UofL men's basketball is going to be scary … Continue reading Inside The Terrordome: “B+ Player”
Too Much To Be Thankful For, To Put In A Facebook Status
On this U.S. Holiday evening, there is a TON that I am thankful/grateful for..... In addition to family: Friends. I don't tell them nearly enough, either. 🙂 FU5. A special group of most of my best friends. I first met 2 of them (J.R. and Allen) 14 years ago, 3 more (Angela, although we had been in band together … Continue reading Too Much To Be Thankful For, To Put In A Facebook Status
Inside The Terrordome VI
About 7(!) years ago, a good friend of mine invited me and a few close friends to her dorm room for a Thanksgiving-style dinner. She kept that tradition going while she was living in Louisville (expanding it somewhat when she moved to an apartment, adding a party to the end of the night). I hope … Continue reading Inside The Terrordome VI
“Short Circuits”: “Let’s Rage!!” (Updated)
(added a couple of 'circuits' since the draft of this post was started) In the latest episodes of 'As The World Outrages', I bring you these 4 stories: Election Night results are now official and it looks like the Democratic Party took some major punches and kicks to the head. In Kentucky, it wasn't punches and kicks … Continue reading “Short Circuits”: “Let’s Rage!!” (Updated)
Simple Pleasures
Hope you had a Happy Halloween! As I was on the bus, returning home on this hazy, foggy morning an hour or so ago, I started thinking about the Halloween party that I left. The party itself was fun but what really made my night were the people there. To me, simple joy(s), such as … Continue reading Simple Pleasures
