Let’s set aside those inane topics that divide us and celebrate our freedom today. I know it’s hard but we should all be able to show respect for those with dissenting opinions. No matter which side of the aisle you stand on.
Also, make sure you’ve picked up some CBD treats for the dogs. Fireworks are always much more entertaining when you’re high.
Merry Christmas to one and all. I hope my Jewish friends had an excellent Hanukkah! If you celebrate something different, I hope it is equally as merry and excellent! I hope all of your festivities are safe, enjoyable, and drama-free. While I believe Christmas is more about giving than receiving, I hope you get that Nintendo and/or that Red Ryder, carbine action, 200-shot, range model air rifle you’ve always wanted.
I don’t idolize Hollywood. Most of their elite attitude is loathsome. Also, while I mourn the passing of a great actor and musician I’m not often compelled to write about them. I will, however, pay homage to them at the end of the year. You will also notice that I don’t write about the passing of my family members. They are my family members and their passing is not for public display.
Occasionally one comes along in Hollywood that leaves a lasting impression. It’s rare enough, for me, that I feel the need to write about them. This is one of those times and Matthew Perry is one of those celebrities.
It’s a bold claim and it’s not 100% true. To be fair, some aspects of the Internet have helped the film industry. For example, it is much easier to check when and where a movie is playing and far easier to buy tickets. The days of checking the newspaper and buying the tickets on-site are gone.
The benefits the Internet provides to movies end there. Trolls and jaded fans are the reasons the Internet ruined cinema.
Summer always seems to be the time of year when I write the fewest posts. It might be the flurry of activities I have between work, vacations, and the fact that school isn’t in session. All of that is about to change. School begins again in a couple of weeks and the new Ahsoka series starts in about two weeks (I’m so excited!).
I’m also open to topic suggestions but there are a few rules about what I will and won’t write about. Typically the areas I focus on the most are Star Wars, gaming, technology, movies, and books. No politics or divisive topics. There is enough vitriol and gaslighting on the Internet and social media, I do not wish to add to it.
If you have some ideas please leave a comment below (remember, if you are leaving a comment for the first time, I have to approve it). You can also leave a reply on whichever social media platform you saw the link to this post. I’d really like to do more technology posts (since that’s what I spend most of my days doing), I just lack topics.

I’ll be honest, I’m not the biggest fan of social media. They began as a means to stay connected with friends and colleagues and allows us to expand beyond our borders. Lately, however, people only use it to whine and complain about the latest movie or political fiasco. It can also harbor creeps and perverts, so I’m careful, especially on Facebook. These are my Facebook rules of engagement.
