My blog is still here, is it a haven in a crazy world?  Nope, it just is, like me.  Our visitor numbers have remained steady with visits from Ashburn & China.  So in the world of the Would Be Hermit, all continues on its proper course of being directionless.  That being said, why are we still doing this blog?

Sometimes you do it because it’s the right thing to do, not because you ever expect a thank you from those who will benefit from your actions.

I like not to be obvious when I’m rocking the boat, I prefer to be subtle in my activities at my Cabin In The Woods.

It’s amazing how you don’t have to make shit up once something actually happens.

I’ll never say good bye, if I’d never said hello.

You think something like this just happens, it takes a lot of long term neglect to get to this point.

We should have known their specimen was here from its glow.  Sorry we didn’t know you’re the most important person on the planet.  So we didn’t move your testing to the front of the line ahead of everybody else, but, then again, you’re not. 

You’re so busy pointing out everyone else’s faults that you haven’t ever taken a look in the mirror.

Diarrhea flows down the leg and you’re the foot.

A person who thinks everybody should know that their opinion matters on any number of subjects when it really doesn’t.  For it’s usually negative in context that no one asked to hear but their gonna put it out there anyway. 

Someday I want to read the story about the last celibate priest, it will either be a story about glory or horror.

It’s tough to be right when everybody wants to believe you’re wrong.

They’re not the first cocky SOB to get it wrong, nor will they be the last.

You got the panel of judges you wanted.  You thought they would do whatever you ordered, but, you didn’t count on them having minds of their own.  So now you have decided to ignore their decisions. 

Don’t grieve what you lost indefinitely, focus on what you can create in its aftermath.

I really don’t travel in any particular circle, occasionally I get pulled back into somebody’s circle, but in the end, I’m off on my own again. 

When you ask somebody if they’re an expert and they say, “I kinda am”, they’re kinda not.

What we lack in sheer ability we make up in immense stupidity.

In terms of that person being smarter than you, you don’t place the bar very high.

On some level I understand, but on another level I really don’t care.

I’m not trying to solve the world’s problems, I just trying to help.

I really fucked up, so what can I possibly do to make it worst for myself?

For those who say, “that’s impossible”, my answer is “why?” 

They see it as logical and sound, I see holes in it, who’s right?

Don’t let your ignorance be all we remember of you.

They will do the job, until they won’t.

I’m not able to tell what it was, but I’m certain of what it’s not.

I’m doing sweating with the oldies today, in that I’m old and I’m sweating.

If the information has been lost to the ages, then why do we know about it? 

Sometimes one word is better that 20 words when expressing an opinion.  Something to consider at my Cabin In The Woods.

They’re well educated and qualified for nothing.

I know you can’t block them on your phone, because it makes you feel guilty when you realize you actually care.

What was thought of once will be thought of again.

They say I’m living proof, of what exactly, I don’t know.

If you call someone and start to spew out information when they answer, don’t expect them to get it all, for you’re being a dick.

Over there, over there, way over there, and not way over here.

Is the end only the beginning?

I am a nobody and I expect all the honors and privileges that come with this rank!

Please listen to what I’m actually saying, not what you think I’m saying.

It’s fun to listen to them spew their nonsense and hearing the conviction in their voices that they are the only correct ones. 

Nothing is an absolute, except maybe you, for your always an ass. 

I’m sure someone told me this information before, but it didn’t stick, so I don’t remember.

You can take the most benign statement out of context and make it sound evil.

They’re not smart, they’re not quite stupid, they’re somewhere in between those two points.

The Musings that I write are often influenced by outside factors.

With great difficulty, I try to be true to myself.

I can manage my time just fine, when I want to.

The problem with conspiracy theories about the government is they’re giving the government way more credit for smarts than they actually deserve.

I’m an over achiever, in that I’m over achieving.

I paid a $3.40 bill online the other day.  When I checked the next day, I actually authorized $340.00, shit!

They say I came flying through in my car, that’s not correct, my tires never once left the ground on my way to my Cabin In The Woods.

People complain that a person is “stuck in their ways”.  Ever consider that’s how they get things done?  Or is it they just prefer not to use your ways?

At my age I just assume that everyone I have ever known is dead, unless I hear otherwise.

You were the tool, they used you for what they wanted then discarded you when done, leaving you alone to face the consequences.

How can they teach something that they don’t wholly understand themselves?

You make stupid people look like geniuses, that’s quite an accomplishment.

You don’t want to hear the answer so you try to change it.

Thing is, I don’t care if you wanna do your job or not for I have dealt with many an egotistical doctor like you and your lectures fall on deaf ears. 

I get these thoughts rattling around in my head that are distracting and I find putting them down in this blog helps me move forward.

They’re frantically devoted to this person like their some sort of god, but if they were to take a step back and really look, they would realize their human like us and with many flaws.

Sorry I’m not always wrong, mostly, but not always.

I’m like a broken clock, I’m right twice a day, but for the rest of the time, well…

I was told by an “expert” that this place is a dinosaur and wouldn’t last much longer, you would be amazed on how long a dinosaur can continue to stager on.  That was five years ago. 

People say that a person has right wing leanings, left wing leanings, conservative leanings, Christian leaning, crazy leanings, me, I just have my own leanings, towards my Cabin In The Woods.

I hate when round things roll away.

Whatever?  Call me when there’s an actual problem.

One side says all targets were hit, the other say that no targets were hit, well, the truth is somewhere in the middle.

Your belief system will lump one group under one specific heading and disregard individualities in it, all for the convenience of your narrative, thus making it easier to hate and discriminate. 

I forgot that I didn’t forget.

I could always find someone to talk to there until I couldn’t.

I don’t like to sit in the darkness, for in darkness without light, there is no hope.

They chose to ignore reality and reality chose to keep on marching forward, right over them. 

What’s it like to have an even birthday in an odd year?

They get it all right, but not for the reasons you believe.

They often don’t do things by accident, ever thou they say they do.  Now, getting them to admit that is a whole different conversation.

I’m not on anybody’s radar and I plan on keeping it that way at my Cabin In The Woods. 

They do worse than nothing, for if they actually did something, that would be a huge achievement.

You’re running on excuses, not solutions.

It was a typical official Q&A, they had all the answers before a single question was ever asked.  So despite what may be asked, they still gave out their predetermine answers regardless.

This one day isn’t going to define the many to come.

I have no idea why people do what they do, not that I’m looking to create an understanding, I don’t need a headache.

If your decisions aren’t based on reason and logic, but rather emotions and feelings, then you should not be in a position to judge.

At my job, when I call on a critical result, one of the things I’m required to get is the job title of the person I spoke with.  Well on one call, after giving the person the results three times, I asked for their job title.  They said, communications specialist, yeah well,      I beg to differ.

It’s a fine line between a fool and a friend.

You do what you do and I’ll do what I do and hopefully the two will never meet.

You don’t have to give a shit, though, maybe someone should.

I an’t part of us, for, I an’t part of anybody.

Just because you were once, doesn’t mean you are now.

Well, if you’re looking for a problem, you’re going to find one, even if you have to make it up.

When you inherit a shit show, don’t expect it to be cleared up overnight, for shit takes time.

Can you at least think about what you’re saying, instead of blindly spewing out the bullshit you heard from others.

I don’t need anyone to take pity on me, I can do that all by myself at my Cabin In The Woods.

As I like to say, not my workflow.

It sucks to be accused of things that you never even thought of doing because someone else thought you thought of doing it.

I’m not letting your incompetence make me look stupid.  Instead I’m going to think it through before I act.

Ever feel like you’re on the back page of irrelevance?

It’s not about ego, it’s about dealing with the reality in front of you.  So if your go to is ego, then you’re gonna have a bigger problem with reality.

You may not love it, but you definitely need it, so let’s work within that reality.

You have very expensive tastes for somebody who doesn’t have any money.
