When trying a recipe for the first time people have the habit of expecting it to taste just like Mom's or Gramma's or look just like the box. It's doomed to fail. It rarely lives up to our expectations. I always try to start with a clear head and open heart. I assess my ingredients. … Continue reading Preconceived notions and expectations are not ingredients in this recipe.

I remember a time when I wished that today would hurry up and be over. So I would crash out. Only to wake up the next ending it with the same thought. Wasting my time. Procrastinating. I remember wondering if others were worthy of possessing what I wished to posess. But when their worthiness became … Continue reading Wisdom from 1992

When something gets complex and complicated that is when the lies and obfuscation begin. We all know our share of liars. They always seem to have a long convoluted story about whatever. It gets so long and twisty that they eventually trip themselves up. It's fun to watch. Better than a Whoopi cushion. Every time … Continue reading Things to ponder.

I have a saying that I came up with a long while ago. "I always feel like I am banging my head against a brick wall. Continually smash my head against this seemingly unmovable object.

Accepting this fact, I try to keep my judgment of people to things like if you use select-a-size paper towels or don't have gap insurance or a home warranty. You know, important societal issues. Not silly things like skin tone or past fuck ups. … Continue reading Judge not lest ye be judged. Only God can judge me! And a jury of my peers.

Before we begin, a shameless product placement plug. 1500 Lumens. When you absolutely positively have to shed light on everything in the room! Except no substitutes. I love flashlights, I have a few. It's inevitable with a name like mine. Lucifer means "lightbringer". But this guy right here is my go-to, light shedding every day … Continue reading It’s story time with Uncle Lucifer.

I normally would keep an idea this awesome close to my vest. Flesh it out myself and make it happen. But I want this to happen way more than I want the personal satisfaction and credit for doing it myself. It's that awesome.
