This is Today: November 11

My name is Dan.  This is my blog.  I    am from Texas, but I    live in Florida, now.  I    am still hesitant to put my real info out here because of my job.  I    am a teacher.  In this day and age of progressivism, if I    were gay, transgender, black, or a communist that would … Continue reading This is Today: November 11

Mother’s Day, again

It keeps coming up, every year, like a very lazy, but consistent, gopher.  Of course, like all holidays it is profitable catalyst for the various businesses and industries that prey on nostalgia, veiled acrimony, and pregnant guilt.  Mother's Day! Actually, if you look at my post from last year, you will see that the name … Continue reading Mother’s Day, again

He’s Dead

Those were the words that rang in the minds of His followers.  The men and women He had led were now bereft of love beyond compare.  Dreams of the future were quickly turning into nightmares.  His death spoke ominously of their own prospects.  It meant something powerful to them.  Does it to us?  Or is … Continue reading He’s Dead

Hesitant President

I am running for president in 2020.  I will dominate and destroy all opposition.  Anyone who thinks about running should consider themselves lucky that they are getting this advance notice of my impending occupation of our nation's highest office.  Upon winning, I will paint the White House red (literally), make Mr. Feeny the Secretary of … Continue reading Hesitant President

In the Beginning- Day 28ish

Origin story Why did you start your blog? Is that still why you blog, or has your site gone in a different direction than you’d planned? Faithfool.  That's how I came to write this blog.

State of your year Write up a mid-year “State of My Year” post. Hello, America.  Good to be back in front of you again.  The year is racing by faster than Hussein Bolt on his way to the restroom after eating Taco Bell. There was a small presidential election this year, but it went by … Continue reading 365: Day 25- Let’s get this party Stated

365: Day 20- My closest friend

A friend in need... Finish this sentence: “My closest friend is...” My head starts to cycle when I see this prompt.  Best friend (I know it says closest) is a term that drives me back to seventh grade social wars.  Why must an individual create a friend hierarchy?  But then you get older and friends … Continue reading 365: Day 20- My closest friend

365: Day 19- party like its 2014

From the collection of the artist It’s the year 2114. A major museum is running an exhibition on life and culture as it was in 2014. You’re asked to write an introduction for the show’s brochure. What will it say? The last millennium had barely passed.  Every adult alive was born in the 1900's.  But … Continue reading 365: Day 19- party like its 2014

365: Day 15- Little baby girl

There's no place like home If you had the opportunity to live a nomadic life, traveling from place to place, would you do it?  Do you need a home base?  What makes a place "home" for you? Well, this is a alarmingly similar prompt to the other nomadic inquest.  No, I don't want to roam … Continue reading 365: Day 15- Little baby girl
