SHARK ENCOUNTERS I WILL NOT FORGET

LIFE HACK RAMBLINGS

My Fascination With Shark Week As I write this blog in the home office, I have the the Discovery Channel playing one of the Shark Week documentaries playing in the background. It’s called “Jaws Awakens: Phred vs. Slash”. It’s a tale about two massive great white sharks that inhabit the South Pacific waters off the coast of southern New Zealand near the fishing community of Oban. These two sharks are sized in the area of 20 feet long and brandishing a bulk of 4000 estimated pounds of […]

SUPERFOODS HEALTH CORNER: KALE BASED SALAD

A HYBRID COUNTRY LIFE, MY COUNTRY COOKING DIARIES

Blood Tests Don’t Lie I recently had my yearly blood test done and discovered my current diet is sending me backwards. My Hemoglobin a1c level showed I had moved into the pre-diabetic danger zone, my LDL cholesterol level was 31 points over the minimum acceptable level, and my Bilirubin Total was high. Since writing the last blog concerning my dietetic maneuvers entitled “THE OUT OF BOUNDS COUNTRY DIET: PART II”, I have failed to keep track of my progress on the bathroom scale and my diet has […]

BEHEMOTH AND LEVIATHAN

INSPIRATIONAL LIFE OUTTAKES, LIFE HACK RAMBLINGS

The Crux Of The Story The story in the Bible centers around a patriarch named Job (In the Book of Job) who was allowed by God to be tortured by Satan so that his staunch allegiance to his Creator could be tested. During the course of his heart wrenching conversation with God, statements are made that has the suffering soul think about the consequences of dealing with two enormous beasts that existed during his lifespan. Beasts that were created by God for purposes understood by no one, […]

POST CIVIL WAR RECKONING

INSPIRATIONAL LIFE OUTTAKES, LIFE HACK RAMBLINGS

If I Were Alive Back Then When I watch movies or documentaries about the Civil War, I rarely see much that deals with the Reconstruction Period that took place afterwards. It seems that whatever I do find has to do with the way slaves were treated and what happened to them when set free. Very little is said about the trials and tribulations that everyone else went through at that time. Since I was born in the South, I guess I could think of myself as a […]

UNLOCKING THE MYSTERY OF THE WORDPRESS GUTENBERG BLOCK EDITOR_PART II: BASIC MEDIA INSERTIONS

BUILDING MY WEBSITE, MY LEARNING TO WRITE FILES

Recap Of Part I I stated in my previous article “UNLOCKING THE MYSTERY OF THE WORDPRESS GUTENBERG BLOCK EDITOR_PART I”, that it was the first time that I used the Block Editor to write a blog. Kind of risky revealing my learning curve to an audience while I am actually plodding through the process of discovering the basics of the program as I solve each piece of the puzzle in my quest. But that makes the task much more interesting than pursuing some boring explanation of what […]

HUNTING FOR SPORT TO ANIMAL ADVOCATE

A HYBRID COUNTRY LIFE, INSPIRATIONAL LIFE OUTTAKES, LIFE HACK RAMBLINGS

Kid Hunter I remember when I lived in California as a youth, I would often go hunting with my dad up to the northern part of the State for game like wild ducks, pheasants, quail and such. For my weapon of choice, he bought me a 4-10 shotgun which could fire only one shell at a time before requiring me to reload. It was a Christmas present and I cherished it, not only because it was my first weapon, but also because he allowed me to have […]

I had already been booked out of the LOWES Home Improvement App over a month ago, and Capital One was next.  To accommodate these purveyors of forward looking software machinations, I would have to upgrade my device to an iPhone […]

A RELUCTANT HERO

GENERAL

Antagonistic Hombre Imagine someone you know who is always in a bad mood and simply hates the world he lives in. A man who treats everyone around him like inferior human beings who simply stand in the way of his ultimate goal of getting anything he wants at someone else’s expense. Just a subversive character who makes sure he does unto others before they do unto him. You might wonder what made that creep turn into the horrifying creature that he eventually became. Or maybe think that […]

MARGHERITA PIZZA PIZZAZZ

BRAINSTORMING A BUDGET PLAN, MY COUNTRY COOKING DIARIES

Isabella’s Pizzeria Since both my wife and I are not pizza lovers, per se, we do not go to restaurants that specifically center their menus around the incredibly popular offering known as ‘Pizza’, but that scenario changed when we lived in Mandeville, Louisiana, a city located just north of New Orleans. A friend of my wife recommended a restaurant called Isabella’s Pizzeria, and so one Sunday after church we gave it a shot. We were not interested in the typical Pepperoni and Tomato Sauce with added Toppings […]
