An introduction to the chaotic mind

The mind is a fickle thing. It focuses on and discards its daily dealings with an almost ruthless efficiency. The body simply follows, trying to keep up with the endless stream of the mind. The purpose of this humble blog is to channel that ever changing stream into a developed opinion on anything and everything. One would hope that this would lead us to some sort of end, some sort of resolution. Unfortunately, if my mind had any kind of end goal it had achieved I would not have to blog my capricious whims; I would be a member of the English House of Lords or the owner of a string of highly lucrative carnivals. So if what you're looking for is little posts that are never predictable, sometimes informative, and always entertaining, then follow on. If not I'll just keep writing. Someone needs to run those carnivals.

Pining Away: An Expose' Of Front Royal's One Landmark

I miss it...and I LIVE here. You've heard the name in casual conversion so many times before. You wonder to yourself, "Is it the Knotty Pine or the Naughty Pine?" as you've questioned a thousand times. It doesn't matter; you're going to go there for the first time and soak it in whether that "it" is its naughtiness or its knottiness. You hop in the suburban filled with 9 other hungover college kids, and make the pilgrimage to the Mecca of collegiate fine dining establishments. As you tumble out of the car, your age old question in your mind is answered: Knotty. Shrugging off a keen sense of wistful thinking as to how cool it would be if it were the other, you step inside the hallowed doors. All of your senses are immediately and simultaneously assailed: and you love it. You blink rapidly as to shield your eyes with lubrication from the smokey onslaught. You inhale the medley of smoke, grease, and cheap beer (no matter the ho...

The DMV Yelp Review

It looked pretty hoppin' . 0 Stars. When I first went in to The DMV on Main Street, I came in with an open mind, honest. I figured that it had been around for so long, and was so established in the community, it had to be good, right? So I embarked headfirst on what turned out to be my worst experience in all my years. By the end I felt like it was managed by Nicolas Cage and employed by Oompa Loompas. My first impression of the establishment was resoundingly positive. There was a good number of customers. This is the first thing I look for in a business. A good business has good happy patrons. The establishment was clean and polished. I approached the receptionist with an air of utmost optimism concerning service experience I was about to have. Sometimes, though, good first impressions just set you up for chaotic rides through a death valley of customer service and hope-sucking feelings of utter despair that you hope we'll not las...

It is Time

“Time is a created thing. To say 'I don't have time,' is like saying, 'I don't want to'.” ― Lao Tzu Imagine someone put $1440 in your bank account every morning. Any takers? Ok, too easy, let's add two stipulations: First: every minute you lose $1 and Second: at some unknown point, without warning, these deposits will stop forever. Where would that $1440 go? Take ten seconds and think about what you would do in this situation. That ten seconds was about 17¢, thank you for paying yourself attention. Those 1440 minutes are what every human has per day, the constant of human value. What we chose to do with that time in all the past 24 hour periods determined who we are today; what we choose to do with this current 24 hours determines who we are tomorrow . The great myth of human freedom is that we can choose to do something tomorrow. The only thing we know for sure about tomorrow is that it may not come. So how do we make the most of the time ...
