Ruining Sports

Moments after a dramatic 10th inning homerun, an announcer goes to the dugout to interview the player who hit it. Frankly, I don't approve. Anyone not in uniform does not belong there, especially some inane jerk with a microphone asking dumb questions. If that puts me in the minority, great: I love being right about something so wrong.

Out and About

I've always liked just walking around, with nowhere to go but going there anyway. It's part of being a loner, like being an icon seeking a connection, and if failing at that, just enjoying the scenery. What is the scenery like in the microscopic realm? Is that what Whitman meant when he said that he contained multitudes? Probably not, but it never ceases to amaze me how the large and magnificent objects are built up of small, insignificant particles.

Erase All Lines On The Map

Imagine there's no countries...John Lennon once sang that, and I can imagine that. It's the only way to preserve life on Earth, as I see it, but try to convince those who have power to give it up. Each of them, from the humblest mayor to the haughtiest autocrat, gets a big ego boost knowing that people look up to them, and that feeds their little minds. Each of them want to convince us that it's about serving the people, but it seems to me that the people in power make sure they get theirs first, and when things get bad, funny how it's the common people who starve first. If these public servants cared, they wouldn't dress so nice and have big banquets whenever a visiting dignitary showed up. But, surprise, they don't care: it's all about them. In their own way, each of them are as bad as Donald Trump.

The Truth About Cats

I need to write something funny. It's been a while since I wrote anything humorous, which worries me, since losing one's sense of humor is a sign of insanity, unless of course one happens to be a space alien who is masquerading as a human being. I wonder if space aliens ever masquerade as anything else. In Men In Black, a space alien took the form of a pug, so why wouldn't 23 percent of the space aliens on Earth be in the form of a housecat? No one would suspect a thing, which is why I suspect them all. After all, why do cats always want to sit on whatever one might be reading or writing? Dogs don't care one way or the other, so why do cats take such an interest? I think these creatures can actually decipher what one is working on, which is very frightening. I remember one documentary, with Peter Cushing, in which Mister Cushing discovers that cats were running the world, and they realized what he was up to, and at the end, he was chased down by dozens of cats, becaus...
