I finally rediscovered an article, a year later, which I wanted to write about and contrast much like I did the previous Re: 21 Things You Have To Explain to Out-of-Towners About Memphis article. Notice how all these articles, from all these random sites, are so nearly identically written? Funny how these clone websites actually provide …

2016 Takes Another Artist: George Michael
I didn’t expect to write anything else today. I expected to get down to enjoying the holiday with friends and family. During a lull between events, I hopped on twitter to find a tweet, only a minute or so old, from the BBC saying that George Michael, the more prominent member of the 1980’s band …

Last Minute Shoppers
It never ceases to amaze me how many people decide the days right before an event are the optimum time to purcahse gifts and other items for that event. These same people are then amazed when the stores are out of stock of items, and quickly complain about lines being backed up and everything taking …

2017 Plans: An Update
2016 was a hell of a year. It had its good points, its bad points, and all in all, it was pretty much just like any other given year. The biggest element was about halfway through the year a focus change in my efforts from YouTube to this site proper. This was a change that …

Christmas Music Is The Worst
The holiday season is an incredibly mixed bag – deep down, I do enjoy this time of year, with classic movies and memories of years gone by, but at the same time it’s a point in the year that I can’t stand. Working in retail has a pretty negative effect on a persons love of …

“But It Won’t Make It Here Before Christmas”
It’s coming down to the wire for the holiday season, and one thing that is invariably going to happen, and has already been happening day in, day in, the past few months is items being out of stock in stores. This is just how it works, and, amazingly, some people just don’t seem to grasp …

So One Of My Articles Made It Onto Reddit. That’s Something!
I’m not going to lie – I avoid Reddit. Something about open discussion sites of that nature has just never appealed to me. I could go more in depth, but that isn’t the point here. The point is, I don’t go there. The other day, I noticed my traffic was oddly high (and at the …

Godspeed, John Glenn
John Glenn, the first American to orbit the Earth, died today. Just a few minutes ago I received the call from my mom letting me know this. At the time, I had just fired up a game, wanting to relax a little before work. I noticed she called as I loaded the game up, and …

Re: 21 Things You Have To Explain to Out-of-Towners About Memphis
This article crossed my radar the other day, and as someone who lives in Memphis, I always find these amusing, at best, at how just plain wrong they are, with regards to me and my life, about opinions on this city. In this case, as the title suggests, it’s things you have to explain to …

The Goodwill Store “Data Policy” Is Absolute Crap
Being the kind of person I am, when I go thrifting, I’m on the hunt for electronics. Hell, today I found a clock from the 60’s, an 80’s tape player AM/FM radio (that needs a new belt but otherwise has a perfect look to it for me) and a VHS rewinder (because who doesn’t need …

I Survived Black Friday – Some Commentary And Thoughts
It’s been a hell of a couple of days. As I always mention on these posts, my “normal” job is retail work, specializing in a retail sector that includes gaming and electronics, among other things, and as you probably know, this past Friday was the most horrible day of the year for retail workers: Black …

An Example of IRS Phone Scammers
In XadaraCast Episode 3, Prince Watercress and I discussed phone scammers, namely, IRS scammers. At a point in the podcast, I made comment about how they behave, and wondered how it was people were stupid enough to fall for them. Without context, though, this almost could seem like I’m insulting people, and I wanted to …
