I’m not sure when it happened. Probably about a year or two ago. I decided that I was finished with reading and that I would only listen to audio books for the rest of my life. What prompted this decision was anger at all the fake book reviews on Amazon. It seemed like everywhere I […]
The Problem With Cell Phones
I’ve been trying to express the thoughts conveyed in the video below for years. I’m not sure I’ve done such a great job of it because it seems that every time I mention the flaws in our great society, I get push back. Not serious push back – probably something more along the lines of […]
The Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien
Guess what I did last night. I purchased the Kindle edition of “The Lord of the Rings” by J. R. R. Tolkien. I figured I needed to give myself a small gift for being such a good boy lately. I finished reading my previous Kindle book, “The Mystery Of the Hidden Room by Marion Harvey” […]
Andy McKee – Common Ground
Back in a previous life, I played the guitar. Well, I was learning to play the guitar and I have to say, I was moving right along. I was up to chords and while cords can, and were, tricky, I was doing them and learning what I needed to learn. I began my guitar lessons […]
The Hobbit – The Movie
We watched The Hobbit movie last night and I just wanted to say a little something about it. First, I think it was pretty good. I liked the animation for the most part and when compared to what I read in the book, the scenes were almost spot on. The movie was different than the […]
Oz The Great and Powerful
I remember back when I was a kid, whenever I would see a movie trailer on TV, I would say, “I wanna see that.” My father was usually sitting nearby and wouldn’t say much. Well, as the years when by and as I continued saying, “I wanna see that” after each and every movie trailer, […]
The Hobbit
I’m almost halfway through the Hobbit right now and I’m really enjoying it. It’s a great book and a good adventure story. I’ve been telling people recently that I’m going straight fantasy. Well, I’ll throw in some Sci-Fi because of all the Star Wars and Star Trek books I want to read. As long as […]
YOLO: You Only Live Once
I was talking to my younger sister a few nights ago when I mentioned that I was using my phone to text much more than I thought I ever would. FYI – I recently changed my cell phone plan to include unlimited texting and life has been different ever since. The funny thing is, I […]
The Possibilities Of Audible
I like to pride myself on my reading ability. I know how to. That is, I know how to read. Which is good because I really like to read stuff written by people all over the globe. Whatever my mood, I can pick up a good book and either enhance it or change it (my […]
Online Book Clubs
I have been reading a tremendous number of books lately. When I finish a book, I am usually eager to discuss it with someone of like mind. I oftentimes run into problems with this. Back when I was a kid, my mother would call me into her room and read me (seemingly) moving excerpts from […]
