The Dividing Line Between Us and Them Is More Blurred Than We Often Think  

3 days ago by herculodge

There once was a man in his early twenties. Socially awkward, especially around women, he had never even been on a date. Instead, he withdrew into his college studies, found companionship in books, and grew an unruly beard. Untouched by human warmth, his demeanor was a bit crazed and unsettling. His ...

Who Are “Those People” Anyways?  

7 days ago by herculodge

“Those people” is a generic term for the marginalized and the unfortunate, those who are regarded as freaks, pariahs, losers, and lunatics. Sometimes “those people” are perceived legitimately as crazy, undesirable, or malignant or all three. Other times, they are mere scapegoats, projections of thei ...

Shoe Platter

J. expressed concern today that he was one of “those people” (i.e., Americans, the only real people) who is really into Germany. You know: grouping their identities around lederhosen fandom due either to a tenuous genealogical bond or a young-adult interest in wizardry. Those people: throwing a Wand ...

Tweaking  

100 days ago by jaded

There is knowledge and there is aloofness, then there is denial and there is wishing not to know the truth, only desiring things be settled. After a week of quietly seething, my spouse announced it was time to call his brother about an old voicemail. I could feel my shoulders tense up in anticipatio ...

Huh? Road  

110 days ago by jaded

The problem with taking the high road, is the path is narrow, and dangerously impassable in some sections. The view is shielded by scrub brush and fallen trees. Passage takes longer, and the only validation is of a self-congratulatory nature. It’s no wonder the high road is less traveled. ********** ...

Panties Optional  

119 days ago by jaded

It isn’t easy to follow someone else’s will. If no specific requests are outlined, you find yourself playing a complicated version of WWJD, when you’ve hardly skipped three steps, much less walked a mile in Jesus’s velcro fastened tennis shoes. You can surmise intent by how the person lives, types o ...

Full Up  

126 days ago by jaded

In times of need, it is prudent to accept needed assistance without condition. Placing stipulations of personal preference, when someone offers you the unsolicited benefit of their time or influence is high maintenance and self-centered. There is also help that costs too much, inflating the value of ...

The Occasional Suit  

131 days ago by jaded

Since my FIL was stable, we returned home Monday evening to attend to personal matters, wash clothes, and check on Satan’s evil minions (the four-legged ones). I was searching the closet for appropriate attire if or perhaps when it becomes necessary to plant my FIL. I smiled as I recalled the last o ...

The Same Yet Not  

132 days ago by jaded

Yet another laborious journey south to accomplish great things has proved utterly fruitless. What was supposed to an opportunity to expunge the in-law’s home of extraneous artifacts and distribute family treasures, has evolved into an extended stay in the hospital waiting room. Hours were wasted in ...
