    I can see…but no leather seats?

    I wrote about barely being legal to drive a short while ago, having made a decision to get my vision corrected with cataract surgery.  What I did not fully understand at first; correcting my vision would also require implants. Hell, I was completely caught off guard when I learned that much like buying a new… Read more

  • Damn…I got fired again….

    Damn…I got fired again….

    It took a few minutes for me to realize what happened, and this time, it was completely unexpected. To be very honest, there were no real visible differences in the job I was doing versus my replacement(s), in my opinion; I doubt that anyone else would have noticed without very close inspection.

    Background was always in the background…”to be”

    As a younger person, I wanted “to be” many things over time. Like a singer (but I couldn’t sing), a musician (but it never came naturally), a stoner/drifter (at that, I excelled for a while – never meant to be coke/meth/opioid addict; oh well, I survived that too)…but never did I see myself doing much… Read more
