I am going to tell you a short love story. Well… it’s kinda a love story.
Why? Because everyone needs a short love story in their life… if for no other reason to remind themselves that this life might be temporal, even cruel at times… but, it can also be earth-shattering beautiful. Continue reading
Thought of the Day – You Got Some Sugar
by Senator Brett
They say that if Life gives you lemons that you should make lemonade… what they fail to tell you is that unless Life also happens to hand you some sugar, that lemonade is gonna suck!
Have a good one, folks. And, as always, remember that it’s not the sudden stop at the end of the fall that will get you… it’s the lemonade “Jonestown” style that will kick your ass!
Your Friendly Senator
Oh, Lemon!

Having been knocked out with the swine flu several years ago, and then getting the flu again just a couple of weeks ago and realizing how much the flu has drained my body presently, as well as in the past… I have come to this conclusion. Continue reading

Thought of the Day – Do You Have Any Cash on You?!
by Senator Brett
I don’t know about you… but I know that if I had been born Johnny Cash my pick-up line would have been, “Do you have any cash on you? No?! Would you like some?!”
Have a great one, folks!

Thought of the Day – You Keep Them For Yourself?
by Senator Brett
There’s just something about the television show “Hoarders.” I don’t know if you’ve seen it or not, but basically it’s a tragic series that examines the sad lives of sad people who live in filth and squalor because of their refusal to throw things away and keep everything they lay their hands to in their even sadder homes.
But… there’s just something about that show. I have the complete series… every single one of them. Continue reading
Look, I know that most of the time I probably come across as a cynical bastard. And, I’m okay with that… mostly because I’m a cynical bastard. However, every once in a while I am not. Today’s post is one of those times.
Thought of the Day – What I Wish I Meant?
by Senator Brett
Several nights ago, while spending time with my niece Tessa, I watched the British version of the Japanese animation film “The Secret World of Arriety,” which for those of you that do not know, is based on the classic children’s book “The Borrowers.” The copy that I had included the English subtitles that the Japanese producers of the film included in their DVD set. And, I don’t know about you people, but whenever I watch a film with subtitles I can’t help but read along, no matter how hard I try not to.
In one particular sequence one of the characters says, as they are leaving their home and saying goodbye to someone, “Take care of yourself”… however, the subtitle read, “I hope that you have the best life ever.” And it got me to thinking…
How I wish Continue reading
Though of the Day – History is in the Eye of the Beholder?!
by Senator Brett
For those of you that don’t know… I am a pretty big fan of The History Channel. However, the other day I was watching The History Channel 2 and I kept seeing a trailer for one of their upcoming shows. In the advertisement the narrator says, “No one survived Custer’s Last Stand”… which made me Continue reading
Well, this is the beginning of a new category for me. Well, let me start over… this is the beginning of me posting entries on activities that I have been doing for years. Yeah, that is actually more accurate.
Last night, while not being able to sleep for the 100,00th time I happened across a posting on my Facebook Feed concerning the hunting of wolves. Now, for those that don’t know… I’m a huge wolf fan. Also, I am huge fan of sarcastic comments. To be honest if I could find a sarcastic wolf I would probably devote my life to finding a way for it to live forever.
Most of the comments for the photo were against the hunting of wolves. However, there were a few people defending the practice. And, while I know that I don’t know everything about the subject, I decided that it was posted on Facebook… so that means that knowledge Continue reading
