Posted in General Rants, News, Pet Peeves on Mar 28th, 2007
I just don’t get it. Really, why do people feel such a compulsion to try and beat down good things? On this site I generally steer clear of very personal topics such as religion, race, etc. I prefer to talk about things that are either common sense or just plain funny to talk about without [...]

Will it looks like San Francisco finally got something right. I say that because I’m not a big fan of all their attempts at legalizing gay marriage and the general liberal sentiments there, but there are things that I can agree on that come out of that city.

One thing that writing on this blog is reminded me of, is my complete lack of knowledge of the rules of grammar. Frankly I have been writing for work and for fun without having any idea of what is right or wrong, just writing in the way that I think sounds correct. It’s not that [...]

This one has been on my mind for a few weeks, because there has been construction on my normal route to work. Construction is a regular part of our lives, there is no way of avoiding it. Living in a place where we have all four seasons, I do get a break from it for [...]

Thanks to all those that have posted rant ideas in the “Suggest A Rant” section of the site. I am beginning to take some of these ideas and share my spin on it. I ask that all you reading out there that lurk and are not likely to become an author to share your ideas [...]
