Posted on April 21, 2008 - Filed Under Arts and Entertainment | Leave a Comment

Jason found himself quite annoyed at the two tractor-trailers that had boxed him in on the 205. Here he was in his little old white punch bug of a car sandwiched between the two monster rigs. He cringed every time he wondered whether they had been drinking or not or had a good nights sleep. One mistake and he would be road kill. He laughed out loud thinking it would be nice right now if this little bug really was Herbie.

Al Gore Invented The Internet, There Are No Gurus, And Have I Got A Deal For You

Posted on April 17, 2008 - Filed Under Arts and Entertainment | Leave a Comment

When people ask me about my “Zen Of Niche” articles, they often ask me what I am trying to accomplish. After all, I am human, not a saint, and I do have an agenda. I think the difference between the so-called “Internet Gurus” and me, is that I reveal my agenda. I’m not the only one. I have seen many excellent writers here at Ezinearticles.com who understand the spirit behind the Internet.

Hey Fellow Baby Boomers, Have We Become The People We Said Never To Trust?

Anyone who has spent all or part of their teen or growing-up years in the sixties will surely remember the famous slogan delivered from under protest banners flying high or tacked up in seedy apartments and dorm rooms decorated with day-glow posters of Bob Dylan and Jimi Hendrix.
Remember what it was? Come-on, sure you do. Here’s a hint - it was one of the catch phrases of the hippies - the ‘Love’ generation. It went right along with, “Make Love Not War”. And it was usually drawn with magic markers on rumpled ‘used-to- be white’, dorm room sheets.
Still nothing? Hey man you’re not trying.
OK, last clue. What could the most ironic thing that millions of settled, responsible movers and shakers of today’s society (us) could have said all those years ago to make us squirm now in our CEO chairs or heated leather Lexus seats?
No guesses? Really?
OK, well everyone who thinks they know the answer, jot it down on an old ‘zigzag’ joint paper and stuff it into the back pocket of those jeans, (despite the fact that they’re three sizes larger than they were in 1968, and now fit a whole lot tighter) And even worse, you’re not wearing them tight in the butt any more to be sexy! Then send it off to me in your old college laundry bag. Winners will be chosen completely at random by the judge (me) whose thoughts are likewise completely random (me again) and…. Oh forget it. You give up?

17 Years Of Marriage And Now This?

Posted on January 26, 2008 - Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment

I don’t know how it happened exactly, but jealousy has crept into my marriage. I’ve been married to this man for 17 years, and I am being cast aside for someone much younger than I am. This someone loves him in a different way than I ever can, and I just can’t compete for his affection. This someone is only 13 years old and he is our son.

My husband has been getting home late from work for the past several months so nobody gets to see him much anymore. As soon as we hear the garage door open, my son and I rush him like groupies at a Kiss concert. The battle for his attention is on.
