Bits and Pieces of Stuff That Rolls Through My Head

From time to time, I need to express what I am feeling. I always tell my son that he should never underestimate the insanity in my head. I need to share those thoughts as a kinda release valve.

I enjoy writing, but mostly I enjoy creating things that other people enjoy. The purpose of this blog: to have a creative outlet. I hope you enjoy the work as much as I enjoy creating it.

Our Court System is NOT Broken Our News Media Outlets Are

I saw this today on my way to work. Two, not one but two stickers hating Michael Vick. I ask, what is the point of serving time as a convicted criminal? We sentence people to serve time and they do their time and they come out as criminals. ...

The other day I finished a short story and published it on Amazon. I've been working on it for the last few months. I chipped away at it, little by little and now I am proud to say, it's published!

Wisconsin Legislature is Demonstrating How Not to Be Democratic

Posted on February 21, 2011 by Michael Bellina.

The events unfolding in the Wisconsin legislature fascinate me. Here is a governor who has put his foot down and caused a major upheaval in the state. The governor, in an effort to balance the state budget, has made the union make concessions in pension contributions but what has them all in an uproar, he has taken away state workers right to collective bargaining. The union workers then marched on the state house and the Democratic senators fled to Illinois. ...

Look to yourself for your successes and don't compare yourself to others

Posted on January 28, 2011 by Michael Bellina.

For some reason, we, as a human race, have developed a hatred toward one another. I can only speculate where this comes from, but if I were to take a guess, it's because we think it is always the other person's fault for our lack of success in life. That guy cut you off because he's a jerk. There's some schmuck in the corner office who has half your abilities and twice your pay. ...

A woman is suing McDonalds because they market to children. No duh.

Posted on December 19, 2010 by Michael Bellina.

This woman is suing McDonalds because they market to children. "We have to say no to our kids so many times and McDonald's makes that so much harder to do. I object to the fact that McDonald's is getting into my kids' heads without my permission and actually changing what my kids want to eat." Let me come right out and say that this is insane! ...

I have had enough of crooked leaders stealing and taking bribes

When is it going to end? I have had enough of crooked leaders stealing and taking bribes. Really, how much money do you need? These selfish hypocrites are completely ruining the reputations of good, responsible leaders. ...

I am my father's child

Posted on March 18, 2010 by Michael Bellina.

I sat at work today listening to music from the 1980's on the computer and I was reminded of my childhood. It was a two-fold memory. First it was the thought that I remembered when the music was new and I listened to it on this device called a radio. The second was that my father, to this day, listens to the music of his childhood all the time and on the Saturday night oldies show. ...

How did this image become a black v. white issue?

Posted on March 13, 2010 by Michael Bellina.

Maybe because I am not a minority this completely passes me by. Maybe because I understand how retail works this passes me by. For some reason, this did NOT just pass by. This image that was posted on a website called Funny Junk in a post called Wal-Mart Fail has caused quite a stir. ...

Feel good tip of the day: Count your blessings and not your problems

Posted on February 15, 2010 by Michael Bellina.

I saw that quote on a church sign near my house. I though it was a great paradigm shift. How often do we go through life saying how miserable we are? I think it's time, starting today, to go through life saying how good things are. ...
