So I was just thinking to myself, I love the photo set of SGs that have a smiling laughing woman in them. You don't need to be pouty, half-mouth-open, angry looking to be a sexy model. And it's not just here in SG either. I see this in photo sets of any type anywhere, either mundane, boudoir, or artsy. The female AND male models all...

People have become far too petty I think.

I have a friend - well, a couple of friends - who are going through a divorce. I don't understand it, I probably never will, and I am not going to make any judgments on them. Either of them. Whether it seems fair, or whether it's being cruel is not my place to talk about.

However, everyone...

I find it disheartening and deeply disturbing that the culture of blame has become so entrenched that humans have begun to forget their humanity. In times of divorce and distress, you would think we could all rise above and just be supportive. To keep our hearts and minds open. But the lust for drama and the need to blame seem to override basic humanity in many people. It is a crying shame. frown

Too true. Alas . . . . it is a sign of our times. Confucius just shoulda kept quiet . . . .

A prayer was answered and I got the CDs. Now at least, this weekend can go forward, and i can breathe a little easier.

Well I'm an idiot. I needed to order CDs for this weekend and I did, but in a mental moment I ordered via Media Mail instead of UPS Ground. Now there is a great probability I won't have any CDs to sell this weekend. I am an idiot.frown

You are welcome.

So . . . . . . There is a drug out there for asthma, that can increase the risk of asthma related death, and once you are on it, you cannot stop it without the possibility of a loss of physical control, or even death.

Are you kidding me?

Good and evil.

What are they? Are they real? Individual entities made purely of one or the other?

I get asked questions like this all the time, as if I am some kind of guru able to answer such queries. I am most certainly no priest, at least not like any priest who is gonna be able to give you an answer you will simply...

Didactic Chronology.

An interesting phrase, really.

You can look at it two ways . . . . meaningful time or boring time. I really don't know why the words popped into my head, but they did, and now I have to deal with them.

I see it as 'instructive time'. Time teaches us many things as long as we have the patience to learn them....

Good to know that someone else remembers
'trickle down' is a scam.
cynicus:
Yeah, trickle down is good for about three people, and we aren't one of them. Thanks for the comment!

I am often amazed at the simple messages life throws at you. You look for signs, read for portents, dig for answers, and all the time, they were right in front of you. Sometimes we simply don't see it. Until it simply slaps you in the face, of course.

Too many of us walk through life shrouded in fear, and cower from opportunity because of...

Off to work, then out of town for a day.

Thoughts . . . . rain is refreshing. After a summer of nasty heat with very little respite, the change is welcome. The vernal equinox is always a time I look forward to each year, the turning of the wheel. Many people feel remorse at the passing of summer, they worship the sun and the...

I am watching the Television, and, since the November elections are rapidly approaching, there are adverts on for the various exploiticians who want you to put them in office.

Being from Ohio, this is more of a circus than a campaign.

<< cheesy calliope music please >>

And now, ladies and gentlemen, for your entertainment, now performing in the center ring, the newest candidate for...

So who is Cynicus?

I am many things. I am the culmination of the events of my life, which are many and varied and, well, rather storied.

I was born in Cleveland, Oh, a little over 40 years ago, at about noon in the very middle of the year. Often it was said that I was a quiet child, that I didn't really speak until...

My first SG blog. Interesting. I have been on SG for two years now, but still haven't yet posted a blog here. Or done much else with my profile. Mostly because I can't figure out how. Oh, it's not because I am not intelligent. Not in the least.

A long time ago there was a group of people who followed the believed actions of a...

Welcome to the land of SG blogness! And congrats on getting the pic to load. Cool pic, too. I get cranky whenever I try to change my profile pic, because it is never a simple process.

I think I still have a MySpace page, but I can't remember my password and haven't checked it in months. It started to get on my nerves. And since I have Facebook for family and friends, and SG for the real me, I don't feel the need to log in to my MySpace account.

Hit me with the big words, sir. *dictionary in hand*
