I had something weird happen to me the other day, because weird things always happen to me. I was out with a bunch of people, and we were just talking. And one of them asked me if I had been blind all my life, the usual questions. I said yes. Then the person whips out …

Graduation Day
Well, graduation day came and went, and I can’t believe how weird this one was. Leading up to it, I thought, “Well I’ve had graduations before, and they were sort of special. At the very most, this one will be just as special.” But I was expecting it to be very insignificant because first, there’s …
A Sad Day
Well, I’ve babbled about my neighbour a fair bit on here, so I figure I should probably say this. Yesterday I found out that my neighbour, after fighting cancer on and off for a few years, passed away on Thursday. It was a shock to me, because when I came back from guide dog school, …
Duh!
Wow, I can’t believe the level of stupididy we appear to have reached. I happened to flip over to Dateline last night, well I got a heads up that there might be something funny to watch. And sure enough, there was. It seems someone was dumb enough to be taken for a ride by one …
Rogers, U R not Cool!
No, I didn’t degenerate into a moron, I did that on purpose. I got a cellphone bill the other day. While I was reading through it, I got to a point where they throw in their regularly scheduled advertising blabber. The piece I hit was encouraging us all to turn into mutes and use text …
I’m back, did ya miss me?
Probably not haha. You were probably enjoying the pece and quiet. But alass, your peace and quiet is officially disturbed. I’m home from guide dog school, and now no longer live alone in my apartment. I share it with a 52 or so-pound 2-year-old yellow lab named Babs. This is the description I’ve been given …
Bye for Now
Well, I guess this will be it from me for a little while. You’re probably happy that I’ll be quiet for a while. Leaves more room for Steve to be funny. He’s been whooping my ass lately anyway, so the ass-whooping can continue. But I’ll be off to guied dog school, I leave bright and …
Help Me Out Here
Welcome to flawed logic 101. Today’s lesson is about a Rubella outbreak. Yup, Rubella. Ya know, German Measles. The thing we’ve all supposed to have been vaccinated against when we were itty bitty. Well a whole bunch of people in a nearby city who are part of a specific religious sect refuse to be vaccinated. …
Sticks and Stones…
You know the old saying, “Sticks and stones can break my bones, but names, or words, will never hurt me?” If that’s true, then why is there all this political correctness bullshit? It’s always bothered me, because it doesn’t solve anything. Let’s think about this. Back in the old days, the actual technical terms, with …
In Case You Didn’t Know
I just got an email from someone who I thought knew better than to fall for this crap. He emails me and says, “Do you think this is real?” Below his excited message is one of these international lotto messages. Yeah, he won a million dollars and all he has to do is respond, give …
