Steamy Scandal episode
I delayed watching scandal S5 until it ended recently,, and I'm now on E7, where Elizabeth North is meeting with David Rosen, and he is telling her, he doesn't like her, repeats it's more than a few times. She comes up to within centimeters of him, and makes him say "I like you" to her...and then passionately kisses him, commanding him to "take a seat, Rosen." Omg. Wow … [Read more...]
Video plagiarism – part 1
Jamie is someone that I sometimes view, since she usually has a few inspiring/motivating thoughts, etc. She recently learned that there was a person who apparently also watches Jamie's videos but then made her own "videos" using Jamie's words - word for word. Watch this short video, you'll first see Jamie speak for a few seconds, then you'll see this other person, saying the exact same words, … [Read more...]

“ABOMINATIONS” – Franklin Graham
"Abomination" I so much dislike that word. As in: "Deuteronomy chapter 22 verse 5. Read your bible everyone. The whole transgender issue is an abomination in the eyes of God." Someone who I love with all my heart recently "liked" the above FB posting quote. -- I moved away from my hometown when I was just twenty four, and therefore, have not been a part of this person's life since that time. … [Read more...]
Tolerance
To say the very least, this isn't the typical fare I share. I'm not as you all know, a bible thumper. But, I'm in the middle of writing a blog post that I'll be sharing later today/tonight and this particular article I'm sharing now goes pretty much hand in hand. Acceptance. Tolerance. Love. Leave "Hate" at the door. Original blog post … [Read more...]
Picking up the Cap and Gown
Going to U/Saint Thomas, to pick up the Cap and Gown, etc. Been more than a few months (December) since I was last on campus. I'm not an easily excitable guy, but I'm getting "Kinda excited" right about now. [Wish my mom was around to watch the graduation ceremony.] … [Read more...]
Photos and Film
Before i started working on the stuff i have to do today, i wanted to share the following: I have four "rolls of film", sitting on my desk, they're been sitting around for about ten years now (at least). And, two more rolls with the film leader sticking out - i can't tell whether those two rolls were never used, OR, if I (partially) used them but didn't rewind the leader in "all the way" in order … [Read more...]
