Ode To Hair

Ode To Hair

an original poem by Joe J Thomas

It’s on my arm here while I write
It’s on the cat who’s curled up tight
In a brush and on the floor
Swept away beneath the door
A balding patch or flowing locks
I think I found some in my socks
It covers squirrels, dogs and voles
There’s just a bit here on my mole
Growing forth from follicles
A lack can bring much ridicule
Wet, dry, dirty, clean
You all know just what I mean
Splitting hairs, the hairy eye
Hairy palms on werewolf guy
Dye, perm, trim, and curl
Piled high on a pretty girl
Styles come and styles go
And so does hair – that’s all I know

Tiny Lego Lawnmower

OK. I admit it. I play with Lego building blocks. No, it’s more than that… I’m a “Lego-Maniac”. Seriously, I find them fascinating, fun, entertaining, and they have some kind of very child-like primal connection for me. So let’s crack this Lego nut open and see what’s inside, shall we?

I’ve Left My Mind, But I’m All Right Now

I’ve Left My Mind, But I’m All Right Now

April 10th, 2013.

My Page-A-Day calendar informs me of the following bit of trivia:

“Survey Says: 95% Of Us Put On Our Left Sock First.”

“Hmmmm…”, I thought, “I put on my left sock first.”
“And my left pant-leg!”, I continued.
“And my left shoe!”, I stammered.

Ok, so what’s all that mean? Well, obviously I’m with 95% of the rest of “Us” (whoever we are). But it also means that somehow my Right-Brain is taking precedence on all maneuvers involving socks, pants and shoes. And who knows what else!

I Can’t Turn This Light Off!

I Can’t Turn This Light Off!

Solar Tube Skylight

The photo above is of a new Solar Tube Skylight we just had installed in our house. It is really amazing and brings a lot of natural light into the room. The only problem is that it looks so much like a light fixture that I keep looking for the “off” switch!

Granted, it’s not really “on” all the time, even though the source of light (the sun) is always shining. Natural things like clouds, trees, birds, and of course nightfall affect how much light really shines through. Man-made items like buildings and aircraft also block the light.

The Light Inside

This all got me thinking about another equally important light… the light that shines within each of us. Like the sun, it too is always on, but can be obscured. Natural things like our mood, life events, self-doubt, and even the weather can make our light seem dim at times. External factors such as unkind words from others, negative work places, accidents, and financial issues also have an impact on how bright our light shines. Continue reading

Buzzketing (Buzzword Marketing)

Buzzketing (Buzzword Marketing)

Hi gang,

It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of marketing and buzzwords (*wink!*).

So, I’ve combined the two into a new word: Buzzketing!

Buzzketing (noun, verb, adjective, adverb, etc.)
\ˈbəz-kə-tiŋ\

Definition:
Excessive use of buzzwords in marketing media and presentations.
May be accompanied by a glazed look, rapid speech, 
and a desperate need for validation.

“But wait, Joe”, you may be saying, “How can I use Buzzketing to talketize my objectivization potentiameter kill-zone, whilst still conveying a negative info-quotient contentualized drop-package?”

(translation: you’d like to talk a lot while saying absolutely nothing)

Here’s how it’s done – give a listen!
