pause for Effect

“We try to break the boundaries and see what we can do,” said Shaun White after winning (thus repeating) the Olympic Half-Pipe Gold medal at the Vancouver Winter Olympics. “I think we’re just tapping into what is possible. I can’t predict the future. We have to go create it. It’s a cool position to be in.”

“He only knows how to WIN!”

I love that.

I’ll admit to being naught less than a proud American. But, under no uncertain terms, Mr. White, AKA “The Flying Tomato” and/ or The Animal”, is an ass-kicker.

Oh… And, get a load of John Mayer (a decidedly different John Mayer):

Warning – difficult language ALERT. I suspect he’s controversial, simply for the sake of being controversial. So, I’ll ponder the potential effect – beyond the ironically entertaining.

Go listen to Paradise City by Guns and Roses, for full effect.

Peace be to my Brothers and Sisters.

What’s All This About?

"What am I looking at?", you might wonder.

Lots of stuff.

Meanwhile, here, I discuss events, people and things in our world - and, my (hardly simplistic, albeit inarticulate) views around them.

You'll also learn things about, well, things, like people you need to know about, and information about companies you can't find anywhere else.

So, while I harangue the public in my not so gentle way, you will discover that I am fascinated by all things arcane, curious about those whom appear religious, love music, dabble in politics, loathe the media, value education, still think I am an athlete, and might offer a recipe.

All the while, striving mightily, and daily, to remain a prudent and optimistic gentleman - and, authentic.
