My Blog is Breaking Up With You


I've been using trial and error to discover what the people want from my blog. Ever since my September 26 post, you guys have been visiting my blog a ton! (Note to self: visitors like free music.) Since then, I've been getting at least 30 hits a day. That's like 100% growth! Which is still pathetic, but it's progress. If you scroll to the counter at very bottom of the blog, you will see that we are approaching 5000 unique hits since mid-March. (I was secretly hoping I would reach that goal by Christmas.)

I hate the hypocrisy I'm living. On the one hand, I'm thrilled. On the other hand, you guys aren't helping me cut back like I promised myself I would do as soon as school started up again. My goal is to limit posts to two or three times a week. If you continue to check my blog at this rate, I will feel obligated to continuing posting every day.

This is difficult for me to say, but we need to stop seeing each other so frequently.

Yeah. That's right. My blog is breaking up with you. We just can't keep seeing each other every day. Let's just be friends and maybe hang out on the weekends. Trust me, it will better that way. By not "hanging out" everyday, our less-frequent visits will have more meaning. You're all wonderful and I really enjoyed the good times. I mean it this time.

Shhhhhhhhhh.  Just go.

    Classic last line, I can just see you putting your finger to the lips of your reader to shush her. I need to cut back myself. I put the pressure on myself.

    I think 2-3 times a week is perfectly fine. That's probably what I'll end up doing in the near future as well.

Rummi-"CUB" vs. Rummi-"CUBE"

The "Rummikub" Pronunciation Debate Affirmative Constructive: "Cub" For years, I have been a firm advocate and defender of the pronunciation, Rummi-"CUB".  The game box I grew up with spelled it, Rummicub  on the box. However, other productions of the game have variant spellings: Rummykub , Rummy Kube , Rummy Tiles , etc.  Based solely on box spelling, the game's true pronunciation is open to interpretation. Therefore, Rummi"cub" is equally acceptable to any other given pronunciation. Negative  Constructive : "Cube" My opponents argue that since the game originated over seas, we ought to respect and maintain its original pronunciation. Affirmative Rebuttal: Americanization of the Term When the game was brought to America and given Americanized rules, its name was also Americanized. Pronunciation loyalists then counter my rebuttal with, "there are lots of adopted foreign words that have retained their original pron...

The Secret Reason Why "Good Witch" Feels Emotionally Off

TL;DR It's the Botox. For the past 3 months, my wife, Stacia, and I have been watching  Good Witch  (via Netflix and Amazon Prime). Stacia adores winding down to "Hallmark-y shows." We can rely on Good Witch episodes to always resolve happily. The episodes are never too intense. The height of conflict revolves around things like someone's inability to locate the perfect spot to snap a romantic photo for a new tourism brochure. I consider my time watching these shows spouse bonding time , and emotional training. My favorite thing about watching feel-good shows with Stacia is getting to observe her facial reactions to the on-screen drama. When two people lean in for a long-anticipated kiss, Stacia tucks her knees into her chest and frowns with her forehead while lifting her chin and bottom lip. While I'm typically unable to suspend my disbelief, Stacia seems completely entranced by the various characters' emotions. Wishing I could join her in being swept aw...

Who's Got The Funk?

I am an amateur guitarist, and I've got no funk. My musical skills seem to lacking that special something . Great musicians have it . Those fortunate enough to have gotten hold of  it , create timeless hits. While musicians without it  fade into oblivion. After spending hours searching through Blues history websites and 1970's band documentaries online, I discovered what that special something  is thank to a (70% Man, 30% fish) character from the BBC show "The Mighty Boosh" named Old Gregg. He identified that  thing  as  The Funk ! But what exactly is The Funk ? Here is some dialogue from the show to help explain its origin and purpose: Old Gregg: You're a musician, yeah? Howard: Yes I am. Old Gregg: Butchya ain't very good, are ya? Howard: I'm one of the best in town. Old Gregg: Come on, I read your reviews. Hmm? You know what your problem is? Howard: What? Old Gregg: Ya ain't got the funk. You're all rigid. Hmm? You're l...
