"You've been staring at me a little too long. May I help you?" "Are you busy?" "Matter of fact, yes, and you?" "Just waiting out the spin cycle so I can get started with the dryer." "Oh, these are exciting times at the laundromat." "Hey, do you believe in angels?" "Excuse me?" "Angels." "What about angels?" "I saw one right here, last week."…
Seven years ago, in the spring of 2010, a personal crisis hit. I woke up one day and found I had lost a client in my I/T work that significantly jeopardized the quality of life for my sons and myself. Facing the prospects of an income that was approaching poverty level, I endeavored to think outside the box for a solution that would not…
A popular meme going around lately goes something like this: You can support Jesus, or you can support Trump, but you can't do both" - John Fugelsang. In other words, if you're religious, you can't possibly support Trump, a man with such an obscene history of greed, misogyny, bigotry, etc., that he could indeed be the anti-christ (I'm an agnostic, so that was…
Just to get my feet wet again, I thought I'd paste some notes I've taken since January 20th...a day that will live in infamy. Here they are. Here are those great Americans who are NOT part of the swamp he's draining. Please note, I am being sarcastic. I despise this president. I despise everything I know about him. Literally, I have never heard…
I've been busy...who hasn't, right? But I am going to make more of an effort to post weekly. Again, I don't believe anyone is reading these, but that is not the point. Rather, I find the act of writing to be a great organizer of thought. I like being organized. From somewhere hot, MM
In an effort to keep you current ("you" lol, as if), here's an updated blog post. Also, I couldn't stand seeing my most recent post always coming up; "Way behind...". I don't do "way behind". Anyway, since driving off the lot with a 2016 model Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies degree from ASU, I figured I needed to get right to the…
This site has become woefully out-dated as I finish grad school. I keep paying the ten bucks a month to keep it lit however so there's hope. I'm looking forward to updating it often after graduation in May. Until then, here's some "proof" at least that I've been busy with academics (not to mention, life in general)....
Trying on a new hat. Michael Mufasa as filmmaker. As an interdisciplinarian (yes, that's a word, but remains red-lined by most spell-checkers), I am often drawn not only to new ideas and theories, but also to new ways of expressing myself. So with apologies to Yogi Berra, I decided to take another fork in the road. After my undergrad interdisciplinary focus of Human…
Okay. Semester II of Grad School is in the books. I'm hanging in there.
I got up at 4am the other morning to watch the eclipse. I can't remember if it was a Lunar or Solar but I do know that the Earth was passing between the Sun and the Moon- so in effect the Earth's shadow was being cast across the lunar landscape. I shot a couple hundred images...all hand-held, so the results were a bit…
