Blowing It Scenario #20-Military Parades
Nothing Says Peace And Love Like A Couple Of Nukes Driving Down Central Avenue. I’m not one for militaristic displays of power. This, “mines bigger then yours” mentality. Why don’t we get our junk out and measure that while we’re at it. What is the real point? Is it to rally the country behind the…
Blowing It Scenario #19-Pollution, An Ecological Failure
A Study Just Came Out That Our Earth’s Ozone Layer Is Failing To Heal Itself. I’m no scientist but I do believe we live in a time of great paradox.

Blowing It Scenario #15-Punxsutawney Phil Blew It With His 6 More Weeks Of Winter Prediction
It’s Goundhog Day. If you are anything like me you are already over this winter. Cold and wet would be the best two terms to describe the weather where I’m from. We get wet most of the year but the additional cold really makes for a dreary couple months. Now we have this over confident,…
Blowing It Scenario #14-Impatience, The Failure Of Exercising Patience
Good Things Come To Those That Wait. Or at least that’s how the saying goes. I think it should be good things come to those who are proactive but exercise the patience to see things through to the end. Also their are many things that may seem impatient but are simply elevated pro-activity. An early…
