I have been working on a book going on five years now about religious fundamentalism; and if you have been a follower of this site, you know how I am about writing. I must have deleted and re-wrote entire chapters over the course of those five years; and...

Re-arranging some stuff, putting different pages up, etc., starting today. Thinking about doing a section completely dedicated to the wireless/cell phone industry.
I know that some people don’t like not finding some things that I post. That̵...

That is the question.
I opened a strange e-mail today asking me to join the anti-union cause. Apparently this individual (channeling REO) had heard it from a friend who, heard it from a friend who, heard it from another that I was a disgruntled former em...

I am still trying to get used to standing on my feet again for long hours after 8 months away from sales, but for the first time in a real, real long time I can honestly say that I love my job.
Though I would love to close every sale, I actually enjoy som...

Was watching an old episode of How I Met Your Mother, where Lilly gets her husband to coach her kindergarten class in basektball; but she gets mad when he is really rough on them and tells him that they don’t keep score, that winning isn’t eve...

I simply adore John Shimkus, the esteemed representative from the nation’s favorite source of political comedy and nimcompoopery. Everyone by now is aware of his recent comments that only God can destroy the world (so, by default, man can pollute a...

When I started the process of organizing Verizon Plus!, I stopped going to Wal-Mart. I saw it would be highly hypocritical for me to be organizing my co-workers against a company that was anti-union but then shop at an establishment known for its anti-un...

For being the “evil” corporation that unions like to portray Wal-Mart as being, I am actually quite suprised to see all the cars parked in any Springfield, IL Wal-Mart on any given day with little Union Yes bumper stickers, little AFSCME or IB...

My favorite Bible story is in regards to the Fall of Man, the original sin. Eve is in the Garden one day, just minding her business when all of sudden a snake appears and says “Hey, you look hungry. Why don’t you eat some of the fruit on tha...

One day I vow to write a book about everything I witnessed working at a hotel…and unfortunately I wish I were making some stories up.
One night, an elderly woman came in with a cane and dressed like she was straight out of the 50s. Right away she t...

Patience with people, unfortunately, is a virtue that I am lacking in; granted, over the course of the past six years, I have gotten better but there is a lot of work to be done still.
For many a year, I have tried to understand what attracts people certa...

The reason: he got caught with a woman.
If a priest molests a little boy or girl, that behavior is apparently not as bad as having a relationship with a consenting woman; and therefore, does not warrant being fired. A child molesting priest will merely b...

On January 30th (2009), my Samsung Alias (U-740) was stolen.
I had been eligible for an upgrade with Verizon Wireless and was looking to play some hardball before I decided to do another 2 year contract. I probably will never change carriers, but I lik...

I feel I need to clarify something from a previous post in regards to my feelings about Abraham Lincoln: I do not dislike Abraham Lincoln, the man. I do, however, dislike Springfield’s Lincoln fetish as well as the whole Lincoln mythos.
In that po...

Absolutely loved North Carolina and may be moving there soon; will split time between Springfield and wherever I end up in N. Carolina.

Absolutely loved North Carolina and would relish the opportunity to move there. The mountains, rivers and parks were just magnificent; and the people were very hospitable (something I have not seen much of in Springfield).
