When the eye doctor gets too close for comfort

Why do eye doctors get all up in your grill? Do they feel as uncomfortable as the patient does as they press their flesh against your face while they examine your eyeball?



My doctor tonight had that faint smell of late Winter body odor coupled with onions for lunch on his breath.



Is just my doctor or does everyone else go through this too?

For those who did not see the Superbowl halftime show, here it is

An image to remember.. the curse of the Superdome?


The old Girod Cemetery may be getting its revenge..

I went to a viewing tonight.. they are never pretty. 


But viewings of someone who is 32 aren’t meant to occur.. viewings of a mom who had three kids is not fair at all..


Even worse, those friends who I gathered with were all with me in high school.. and here we are, aging beyond our early years, talking about parenting, graying hairs, and enlargening bellies..


So when the sadness was over, I walked to my car in the cold January air.. there was the most gorgeous moon shining above. I turned on Pandora and what else is on but but my favorite band AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT with THE KIDS ARE READY TO DIE. It may not be a song about a young woman dying of cancer, but somehow it fit the feeling of the night..


Give it a listen if you never heard it before. And if you did, listen again…


I don’t know if there is a meaning of life but I sure hope there is. Don’t we all?


After seeing grieving children it gets tough to find that meaning, doesn’t it?


Peace all. Be safe.

Ads like this just annoy me… Sex sells but dammit unjust want to buy a razor without it… Am I the only one!?

Anyone out there ever get acupuncture?

I’m thinking about it.

So why do flies seem so attracted to the president?


Perhaps the AMITYVILLE WHITE HOUSE HORROR is being filmed?

21. Any bills to change existing gun laws, including those that make it possible for almost anyone in America to purchase a high-capacity assault weapon, quietly disappear into the legislative swamp.
“22. It happens again and the whole thing starts over

Wow… Somewhat frightening.. Wonder if Katy Perry uses a lot of butter—and why.

Say it ain't so Beyonce: Apparently she did not actually sing during the inauguration ...

The media went nuts! A performance for the ages. Just it wasn’t live … I’d imagine most folks won’t care a bit about this issue but it’s sure fun to gossip about people billions richer than me…

AS THE EYES ROLL: A GIF FOR THE AGES?

It’s being called the GIF for the ages. First Lady Michelle Obama rolls her eyes at the House Speaker.. if only we could have been a fly in the food for this conversation..

Memories are packed with .. so much.
Things that matter. Some that don’t.
Useless facts.
Useless fiction.


But this I know: I was a freshman in Cardinal Brennan High in 1996 and my friend, Jared, introduced me to the greatness of this REM song. And in 2013, it’s still just as great as it was when I didn’t know anything way back when. Hell, I STILL don’t know anything.


There is so much time that goes by it’s difficult to even begin to measure it.. 


We had another Inauguration today. It is historic. But we have been through lots of history, haven’t we?


It all sort of just….blends together into a …something. A piece of history. Fact? Fiction? Oh I don’t know which, but we will debate that until we are blue in the face, won’t we?


The world is a bitter, bitter place. So often this planet seems hostile to life—not hospitable to the humans who inhabit it.. 


We are just racing time. Hoping to somehow beat the clock. In the end, no one wins, unless you’re the timekeeper…


Good day, all.

Obama. Part 2.


Good luck Mr. President.


Full speech here.


Obama said as he looked over the Capitol, 




“I want to look out one more time because I’m not going to see this again”




It must be an amazing sight..

The original batmobile driven by Adam West and Burt Ward in the 1960s sold at an auction for $4.6 million..



How amazing it would be to drive the interstate to work in this. Congrats to the lucky rich guy who now has a part of historic pop culture..

This may have been an ancient river—on Mars



And that would have immense ramifications, don’t you think?

The flu is spreading.. Some are filling up on pills or racing for the vaccine. We here in Schuylkill county PA take a different approach. Friends neighbors and coworkers share boilo this time of year. And thanks to wonderful coworkers at my wife’s job, warm apple pie boilo is bringing soothing relief to sore throats in the Coal Speaker abode tonight… Got boilo? We do..



*Ignore the Jack Daniels bottle.. It’s simply a container for the greatest alcohol on earth.

Before you get ‘all thumbs’ paging through the newest edition of ESQUIRE magazine, consider the following information about Megan Fox: She does not want to be Marilyn  Monroe anymore. She is reportedly even getting a tattoo of Monroe removed from her own body.


Also enter into the picture this: She can’t stand pills, doesn’t drink, doesn’t smoke. What does she do? Feels safest in God’s hands.


And she also compares Marilyn Monroe’s life to that of Lindsay Lohan. I don’t know which one would be more offended…

My son absolutely loves this song from the YouTube channel KIDSTV123. It’s a rather depressing ditty about our solar system.. each planet, and the sun, sings about its surface.. set to a sad melody. When Ayden sees it he is just in awe.. I am, somewhat, too.. It sticks in your head, in a strange and somber sort of way… 


And take note: Pluto has not been included.
