Boring Movie The other night I was watching this interesting movie on TV. It started out interesting but then it started to get kind of boring. A lot of the conversations that characters were having were outside in this very beautiful garden. Because the movie was boring, I stopped paying attention to what they […]
Slowly Then All At Once
Wandering Home From Somewhere I was walking home from somewhere a couple of weeks ago I passed by this old stripmall. All of the businesses in this old stripmall had gone out of business at least a year ago so the place is essentially vacant. There was just one ginormous tree in the parking […]
Queen Of A Lesser Kingdom
New Lady at Toastmasters A new woman came to my Toastmasters recently. She’s a very interesting combination or she has a very interesting combination of both confidence and anxiety. When she talks about normal things she’s very very confident, in fact she’s the most confident person I’ve seen in a very very long time. […]

Ancient Black Magicians
Movie About Financial Collapse A couple of weeks ago I saw a movie that was a very shallow metaphor about the financial crisis from 2008. There was a scene in the movie that is similar to many scenes in many movies where they have the expert looking at another character and explaining to this other […]
Origins Of Modern Civilization
History of Metal I watched a very interesting video a couple days ago about the history of metal. Not heavy metal music but actual metal. The kind of stuff you get out of the ground, melt down and form into tools that you can use. It turns out that the discovery of metal and […]

Making Money Selling Coffee
