There are plenty of police shows on, and they vary in location, audience, and other details, but there is one thing that several of them share. The police on these shows have a condescending disdain for suspects. Even the ones that prove to be innocent are thought of as guilty scum. I don’t condone the […]
Growing up, several of my classmates told me they thought I was smart. Since I wanted to belong, I tended to lap that up. At some point in high school, I credit it to my Psych/Soc class, I redefined my notion of smart. I decided that being able to remember random facts and information for […]
I had a meeting with someone I was planning to work with on projects. He was detained and didn’t get to the meeting on time. After we finished discussing the idea, he again apologized for being late, and I told him that I would have to be perfect in order to get upset about it. […]
Join me for a short experiment. Someone, person A for clarity, comes to you with a problem, they are having a disagreement with someone else, you guessed it, person B.

I don’t think my birthday has ever fallen on Good Friday before, but it might have. Those two things don’t draw […]
If you are not familiar with the term used in the title, it is a buffet where you can find all kinds of different food. In case, it would be food for thought. I am just going to write about random topics and may switch back and forth. If someone were to ask you, “Do […]
For most people, use and utilize are interchangeable. I’ll use either one if the situation can handle it, and I feel like it. However, for the sake of splitting hairs, and to make a point, I am going to say that they are not exact synonyms in this post. Use is common, and we use […]
Been kind of quiet here, hasn’t it? Rest assured, I’m still here. The reviews will begin again soon. Christmas and New Years slow down delivery times, and can keep me from putting a lot of time into reading. I’ve also been busy with some projects and things I said I would do. THB will be […]
