At long last I have agreed to write a series of rather important documentation for the entire world to see. Since I have been God gifted with so much more knowledge than the average human, it was pointed out to me (by one of the individuals who makes up part of the hordes who love,…
Was it the late great Harry Hamlet who said: “To Proselytize or Not To Proselytize”? “To proselytize or not to proselytize” – It shouldn’t be the question but how often it is. What’s mine is mine, and what’s yours is mine as well. From the dictionary: Proselytize Convert or attempt to convert (someone) from one…
Good bad or indifferent, there are always those who seek out wiggle room in all they attempt to accomplish in life, or in any pursuits of the good life, or even a slightly better life than fate has bestowed upon them. Here are some personal definitions I’ve developed along my way. · I prefer jeans…
