Popeye Theory Kaput
Note: The following piece was originally posted on the first DN in honor of Valentines Day. There are those who view the world with pre-Einsteinian philosophies. They’re not convinced that the world is round or that gravity curves space. I refer to a popular philosophy of these people as the Popeye Theory. Everything in...
Schmatas, a case for same sex marriage 3/3
As I am reminded of my mother’s schmatas and schmatas of the past, I am also aware that any two women can choose, at any time, to walk down the Ocean Grove boardwalk, arms linked in intimacy, wearing schmatas. And apparently nobody can stop them. If this doesn’t show the impoverished and impotent ability of the...
Schmatas a case for same sex marriage 2/3
Is it more important to challenge the freedom to marry the person of the same sex on the boardwalk when, as many know, at low tide the stink of seagull poop and dried Sargasso can challenge anyone’s nostrils, or to protect the unarmed public from the view of anyone walking down the boardwalk in...
Schmatas, a case for same sex marriage part 1/3

first pee, red-winged blackbird
In honor of today’s snowstorm and in anticipation of the spring, please humbly accept this days’ blog: I just realized that I have to accept the fact that I cannot make a living doing bird calls. I don’t want to have to drink water for a living and so my famous red wing blackbird...

Mite or a mite sorry could be a tale about an orphan arachnid. But it is not. There are good things about being a token. You have your role explained and delineated for you. No questions. Probably only a trace amount of neurosis. Tokenism has been given a bad name. It should be considered...
dig it
Blog honesty. All apologies as a disclaimer. If fric and frac are at your back then hope for snow so work you won’t go. But upon learning that they might have been real people and the more positive definition is how closely associated they are: let’s call it a rest and give our soul...
on hok or hokking
“Hok a tchynik” which means loosely “bang on the tea kettle” which is a way of saying ‘to yak or nag endlessly’. When I first heard this phrase I took it as it sounded alliteratively. So forever in my mind “hok” means hock and hok a tchynic, well I say it like this, “Don’t...
Hello from the Daily Neurotic
I’m not literate yet re blogs and cannot, apparently, find my way out of this virtual blog bag. When breathing in the air from a blog bag you get back blog air into your system; clouding your brain even further and making it that much more difficult to get out into blog land where...
