The Chained Cycle Period
In Science class when I was younger, I was taught about the food chain and pyramid. A chain is a rope of sorts. It has a beginning and an end. A pyramid is a triangle with a clear top. This is a fact. It is not arguable. However, whoever coined the idea that this is…

Superbowl of Soap Operas
When we view life from the view of how we perceive it to be rather than how it is, our decision making becomes skewed at best. Sometimes it is good to ride to the skies and soar like a bird to get a bird’s eye view of how things really are as opposed to how…

Tab Cola and a Magician's Politics
Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Wait, nope, that’s not correct. Those who learn history choose to repeat it because it keeps those in the know in the status quo which equates to having more power and wealth. It’s a simple magic trick really.

Crops of Meat
In 1993 I was first introduced to vegetarianism in Olympia, Washington en route to Maui, Hawaii. It took another 7 years before fully committing to it with only two relapses in between. Both times I switched back to being an omnivore, I was in athlete mode and believed a switch back to include meat would…

Slow Suicide
Sometimes there are moments at which it becomes clear that capitalism, religion and government are in cahoots. Tobacco is one of those intersections. Now, I understand smoking. I was a smoker. I loved the process of buying the pack. Packing them. Pulling one out. Letting it dryly linger on my lips before lighting it and…

Bailing out the Ship
Scientists don’t disagree about global warming like an atheist and a christian disagree about god. It’s similar to the differences between Judaism and Christianity. Both believe in the same foundation and both believe that Jesus was a man. It’s at that point that the divergence takes place. On to Global Warming; it is happening. Scientists…

A Lobster's Death
How does a lobster die? If it is put into water that it is too warm, it will thrash around violently to struggle for its survival. However, if the same lobster is put into tepid water and the water is slowly brought to a boil, it accepts its fate without care. I imagine…
