The Knack: My Sharona
Oh my little pretty one, pretty one
When you gonna give me some time Sharona
When you make my motor run, my motor run
Gun it coming, off the line Sharona
Never gonna stop, give it up
Such a dirty mind, always get it up
For the touch of/…

Blodwyn Pig: It's Only Love
Come on tell me who you need
Come on that you're lonely everyday
Everyday
That you're lonely everyday
Strange feelin' you know it's only love.
Come on tell me who you love babe
Come on that it's me you're thinking of
Every night
That you're lonely every night
Strange feelin' you know/…

Health: The Psychology of Getting Well: Real or bogus?
I believe the mind can play an important role in our health. A
positive outlook keeps your spirits up and keeps you motivated.
Even in difficult circumstances you feel you're going to pull
through. However for the purposes of the following discussion, I
would like to clarify a very, very impor/…

James Bond stuff: the serious and not so serious
With the new Bond flick in the wings (Skyfall opens on November 9,
2012 in North America), I thought to take a look at all things Bond
and compile some of what I considered to be the more interesting
trivia that hopefully your not quite so fanatical fan of the
series/…

Negotiating: Take what you want or get what you want
North Korea rattles its sabers. A celebrity threatens to sue a
tabloid. One company takes another company to court over copyright
infringement. I want something. I'm negotiating. Do I try and take
what I want or do I try and get you to give me what I want?

Movie Preview: Skyfall: 23rd Bond, 50th Anniversary, and 2nd Queen Elizabeth
Bated breath. I looked it up just to double check. It's not
"baited", a common homonymous mistake, but "bated" and that's how
I'm waiting, with bated breath, for November 9, 2012. The 23rd
movie in one of the most popular movie series of all times, James
Bond, has its world premier/…

Managing Your Personal Finances
Okay, this may seem like an odd topic and maybe even an obvious one
but somebody said something to me the other day which got me
thinking about it and asking how anybody is supposed to know this
stuff. I certainly didn't. I have heard tell over the years that
the/…

Jack Daniel's: a nice whiskey, a nice company
In a litigious era of courtroom drama and resolutions determined
not by mediated settlement but by the decree of a judge, it is a
surprise and a breath of fresh air to see somebody take the higher
road with gentler hand.

What to do with the rest of your life
This year I turn 60 years old. A friend amusingly described this as
entering the fourth quarter. I chuckled at his football metaphor
while adding that the fourth quarter is the last quarter. Okay, we
traded supposedly clever and witty references to overtime but
whatever the case, the fourth qu/…

Blogging: What the heck are we all doing?
I sit down and write a posting. You sit down and write a posting.
She does it. He does it. They do it too. Who's reading? Does it
matter? Does it matter if what's important is the writing? But
where is any of this going and what exactly does it mean/…

Health: Hope truly springs eternal
This past Saturday, I decide to go to the movies. The theatre is
merely six blocks away so it's not like I have a long way to walk.
Yes, walking is difficult for me but six blocks shouldn't break me.
As a reminder, the difficulty in walking is not because I/…

The Beatles: Across the Universe
Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup
They slither wildly as they slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my open mind
Possessing and caressing me

Health: There's a knife sticking out of my shoulder
Okay, I don't really have a knife sticking out of my shoulder but
this is a metaphor (Or is it a simile?) for an odd observation I've
had during this, the worst sports injury I have ever suffered in my
entire life.
During the past almost four months now, I have been/…

Starar: Truly Right
If time was a shoe i'd run to you
Cos my running boots won't do
If space was a place for 2 to go
With the stars we'd be alone
And we could run with the wind
Much faster together
We can drive fast just to feel alive
Cos all/…

Sex: What men want. Okay, what I want.
I have a pair of balls. Does that give me the right to speak on
behalf of the entire male sex? If you know anything about this
blog, you know the author absolutely detests people making
unsubstantiated statements in the guise of so-called facts when
they are really giving us their/…

Journey: Don't Stop Believin'
Just a small town girl
Livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train goin' anywhere
Just a city boy
Born and raised in south Detroit
He took the midnight train goin' anywhere
A singer in a smoky room
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they/…

Health: W8NC, a vague next step
I leave my car at the garage in the morning with the vague
description of the steering pulling to the right slightly, a louder
than normal noise coming from the exhaust, and a report of the oil
light flashing on briefly a week ago. An hour later at work, the
garage/…

Adobe Flash Update: I'm infected! And I'm an idiot!
Infection? Okay, this isn't another of my postings on my health.
Nope, this time I'm talking about my computer. If I ever get my
hands on the techno-nerd computer genius who wrote this little gem
of a contagion, I'll first shake his hand impressed by his
programming proficiency then bash him/…

Joe Jackson: Steppin Out
Now the mist across the window hides the lines
But nothing hides the colour of the lights that shine
Electricity so fine look and dry your eyes
We so tired of all the darkness in our lives
With no more angry words to say can come alive

Movie Preview: Django Unchained by Quentin Tarantino
Quentin Tarantino: now there is a name which brings expectant smile
to this mug. Like the rest of the world, I sat in amazed delight in
1994 watching the very original cinematic opus called Pulp Fiction.
Talk about different. Talk about shaking up the status quo. Love it
or leave it,/…

Health: Chronic Pain: Welcome To My Hell
Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. My number one
preoccupation is pain management. Even if I manage to do my job, go
buy groceries, do something mundane like my laundry, or even type
these words, it is but a momentary distraction from the ever
present mishmash of aches, shooting/…

The Heavy: How You Like Me Now?
Now there was a time
When you loved me so
I could have been wrong
Now you need to know
See, I've been a bad, bad, bad, bad man
And I'm in deep, yes I am
I found a brand new love for this man
And I can't wait till you/…

50 Shades of I'm getting lucky tonight!
How many guys have come home to a session of love-making sparked by
the woman having read 50 Shades of Grey? And how many guys would
complain about that?
I have followed with some amusement the hoopla surrounding these erotica novels. Are they good or bad? Of course, that question takes on/…

Don Henley: New York Minute
Harry got up
Dressed all in black
Went down to the station
And he never came back
They found his clothing
Scattered somewhere down the track
And he won't be down on Wall Street
in the morning
He had a home
The love of a girl
But men get lost sometimes
As years unfurl
One/…

Alan Turing, my Commodore 64, and a trip down memory lane
On June 23, 2012, I started my browser which immediately went to my
default home page, the Google opening search screen, and was
presented with a Google Doodle celebrating the 100th birthday of
Alan Turing. Google's write-up about the man stated that he was
a completely original thinker who sh… Read full post »
