Life makes sense Nuh-uh. Uh-huh. Does not. Does, too. You’re dense. No, you’re dense. Ha! I’m rubber. And you’re glue. Bounces off me. And sticks to you. Oh yeah! Well, you’re stupid to infinity. Too late. That bounces off me and sticks to you. Oh yeah! Yeah! Well, you don’t even remember what I said. Yes, I do. You said life makes sense. And … The rest of the story…
Time fills the space so there’s no space “But that doesn’t make any sense, Tony. Of course there’s no space if time fills the space. But how can time fill a space?” It’s all so confusing isn’t it? When I say time fills the space, I don’t mean that “final frontier” up yonder. But, in a way, you could say time fills that … The rest of the story…

Well, may I suggest reading a confidence Bible verse? … The rest of the story…
One thing I do… Social media is so anti-social. Because many (if not most) people spending a lot of time there are clueless about how conversation works. Interaction. Exchanges of ideas. So, one thing I do, when I’m on social media, is keep my mind focused on truth. And yes, there IS truth. Even universal truth. But only for those who don’t hate the … The rest of the story…
Hey, I’m just kiddin around over hear. Fuggetaboudit. Can you pick up on my Brooklyn accent in that headline? Or is it the Bronx. I can never remember which one of those New Yorkers talks like dat. But I hope you at least can tell I’m just kiddin around. And I know I misspelled here. Because it’s a thinly stretched pun to illustrate what … The rest of the story…
Restore my soul because I broke it If you’re a Christian (and if you’re not, you should be), you probably already know how trouble is always close at hand. You can’t swing a dead cornstalk (you thought I was gonna say something else, didn’t you) without trouble showing up. And I don’t know about you (well, I do a little bit because you’re human) … The rest of the story…
Pondering brotherly love on the longest day It’s Summer Solstice time. The longest daylight day of the year.

So, you’ll have plenty of time to pause and read my story of brotherly love that faded … The rest of the story…
Live up to your own dream Because I can’t live up to your dream for you. And 99.9% of the people who read my articles or listen to my podcast know this. I’d say 100%, but nothing, here on Earth, is perfect. But why do I even bring it up? If I can’t live up to your dream for you, is it even … The rest of the story…
It might’ve been Für Elise or Therese or Elizabeth As I opened up my laptop to write, just now, Für Elise started playing on my Pandora classical channel. And I love that piece of music. Of course, I don’t think I’ve kept it a secret that Beethoven is my favorite composer. And this piece of music is an example of why. But today, I … The rest of the story…
Some positive words for the day I shared a few sections of positive words for the day on another website I used to have. And this is something from around 15 years ago. And it still applies. But read to the end. Because there’s a caveat to all this positivity. Seven points of positive words you can bank on 1. Smile “Are you … The rest of the story…
Your Cliché is as old as dirt It’s ironic how many people claim the moniker of “new age.” Because so much of what they say is just cliché. And worse than that, many of those clichés are almost as old as the Earth. But I know why they say what they say. Even if they don’t know. A new age cliché is just another … The rest of the story…
Ah, there’s nothing like an uncloudy day And there’s nothing like rainy days and nights to make you appreciate an uncloudy day. Right? Of course, maybe it’s only the dreamers, poets, and songwriters who truly appreciate the ever-changing kaleidoscope floating above us all. But I’ll bet when I say that, plenty of other kinds of people beg to differ. Or maybe they don’t beg, … The rest of the story…
Ain’t it nice when stars collide? Yeah, usually that expression, when stars collide, brings on visions of falling in love. But what about when actual stars crash into each other? It’s all bliss and fun till somebody gets hurt. Right? Fortunately it’s a rare event when stars collide. So rare that scientists had never seen it happen until recently. At least that’s what … The rest of the story…
The music and color connection No, it’s not the same thing as the rainbow connection, Kermit. Imagine your brain seeing music and color. Sounds a little odd, but very interesting to me. For the longest time I’ve connected music and other sounds to colors. And I always thought it was just my imagination. But, as it turns out, I might have my wires crossed. … The rest of the story…
Fight the good fight Do you fight the good fight? Or do you avoid it altogether? Or worse yet, do you allow yourself to be a punching bag for all those knuckleheads out there fighting the bad fight? And does it even matter? By the way, you don’t have to be a Foreman or Tyson to fight the good fight. Because the “good … The rest of the story…

And now I’d like to add a little bit of the benefits of what I’ll call your music heartbeat. So how can music help your heartbeat? Well … The rest of the story…
Freedom from oppression? Uh, no. What do China and Leavenworth federal penitentiary have in common? Answer”most everyone in each place would like to get out. Well, that’s probably true about China. But Leavenworth? Hmm…I’m not so sure the inmates feel the need for freedom from oppression in prisons anymore.

Hey hon, where’d I put my brain computer interface? Apparently there’s a way to connect a computer to your brain and possibly help control your feelings. I know what you’re saying right off. “Where can I get me one of those, Tony?” Right? Well, I know it sounds a little weird, but you can actually buy a brain computer interface. Yeah, I found a … The rest of the story…
Yeah, confidence is key There once was a guy who had everything a human being could want. At least as far what most people could see. He also had a lot of things nobody would want.
