Remy: Rich Men North of Richmond (Federal Employee Version)
It’s about time a musician wrote a song about the plight of rich men north of Richmond. We’re all tired by now of these country artists going viral with their poor-me songs about normal, everyday Americans. Luckily, Remy has come to bat with the counter-message, and Redstate calls it “comedy gold!” Continue reading “Remy: Rich Men North of Richmond (Federal Employee Version)”
The Milieu
It’s the makings of a classic story about growing up. A group of young people get together. They’re determined to do something downright stupid, something bound to end badly. One of them, though, disagrees.
What a great setup! This could be a major motion picture!
The young person who disagrees is at odds with his peers. At first, he needs to test the waters, to see how his friends will react if he detracts.
They’re all great friends. They’ve been through many experiences together, good times and hard times. It’s a kinship. But a kinship is constantly tested like this. People don’t fall into line with friends and associates who agree with them in a neat and organized way. We fall more like leaves onto the grass. We look to the left, to the right, and that’s what have. We talk with the leaves close to us. They seem to be friendly … we become friends! There’s no organization to our social circles. It’s whoever attends that same yoga class as us; whoever is this new guy hired to go out on truck rolls with me in the field …
We live in a milieu.
We make the best of it.
We can’t deny this.
But for some reason, some people are trying to deny it. Empowered by little computers they call “phones”, some minority of us is emboldened to try and lead the group, though in the past they have had no voice.
They thrash out at us from their hiding places behind these phones, overdoing it in their enthusiasm. In the network, their pleas for justice and fairness wash upon everyone, friends, foes, perfect strangers. They feel no longer restricted, and use the forum generously, announcing every thought that comes to mind. Continue reading “The Milieu”
The Not So Distant Future Has Arrived, As We Fall With The New World Order
It used to be we had a little time before the future arrived.
But now, it’s too late!
The future still exists, but it’s anybody’s call, anybody’s game!
If Bonnie and Clyde were alive today (hey, why not?) they’d probably just go ahead and storm the Capitol and take over.
It’s easy! They let you right in!
So, it’ll be cowboys and Indians, sort of a combination of Dances With Wolves and Little House on the Prairie, with everyone and anyone making laws, breaking things … eh, whatever … OR a total dictatorship, more like the bad guys on Star Wars, but with a strong emphasis on questionable fashion choices, like The Hunger Games.
And this isn’t satire!
This might well be the most real news story you read today!
Getting Hungry?
Though Hunger Games, is technically a trilogy, there’s a little-known fourth episode the studios are currently fawning over, in which we follow the flight of a Mockingjay all the way from Iraq to Washington DC, where it’s captured and returned to Iraq, and subsequently set on fire, interweaving elements from the previous three episodes with Continue reading “The Not So Distant Future Has Arrived, As We Fall With The New World Order”

TAKE A BREAK AND BUILD SOME CONFIDENCE; MANDATORY SESSION (For Writers, Authors, Content Creators, Book Publishers, Self Publishers, Ship Captains And Their Cousins)
(or, The Little Blog Boat That Could, An Argument For Writing Good, *sung to the tune of “Ain’t Got No Eyeballs”*)
If the Internet is a web, it’s a web of advertising. The Internet advertising industry is a blessing and curse, of course, but it’s become, oddly, embedded in everything, the Mexican referral service of the Universe. Everybody is not only selling something, but probably somebody’s cousin (you know what I mean). It’s a great system that works!
So true. Easy to forget we’re talking about the Internet, which, we quickly remember, shouldn’t be a web of advertising. We hate the idea. Almost forgot.
And the frustration goes both ways; viewers are not digging your content while you’re wondering why it’s not getting hits.
It’s not the Internet’s fault! Or your cousin’s! It’s yours! Your content is not good enough, or you’re assuming Continue reading “TAKE A BREAK AND BUILD SOME CONFIDENCE; MANDATORY SESSION (For Writers, Authors, Content Creators, Book Publishers, Self Publishers, Ship Captains And Their Cousins)”
