1 TO 20 OF 39 MATCHES
1 TO 20 OF 39 MATCHES
#1) CTRL-ALT-DEL
10 Apr 2020
If you can relate - you understand. If you can't - you don't. The world is really just one giant collection of overlapping Venn universes: some are big, some are small - and some are very exclusive.
#2) Souls Are Dark Energy
02 May 2020
A glimpse into my dreams. Trumpet players are on a skyscraper rooftop. They start playing baseball sans gloves. A little girl appears, chases after the ball and goes over the edge. I think about following her - but instantly wake up with this thought.
#3) Boldly Gone
19 Jun 2020
I'll accept methods of compression with a "conduit". But you'll never convince me that a transporter is anything but the most painful way to die. Although, imagine all the fun pranks you could pull on April Fools Day!
#4) W. W. T. D. D. ?
27 Jun 2020
I started HBM as a unique way to historically document the "end times". But now I wonder - do we even deserve to be remembered? Is there at least one person on this planet worth saving?
#5) On the Edge of Never
01 Jul 2020
For a brief time I was here - and for a brief time I mattered. (Harlan Ellison)
#6) Watson Meets Tonya
15 Jul 2020
Here was an animated carpet-sweeper, dishwasher, furniture-polisher, general factotum, rising from the factory table - and offering his services as consoler and confidant. (Isaac Asimov - Satisfaction Guaranteed)
#7) Parents of Tama
17 Jul 2020
The problem with speaking in metaphor? What about those times it is just a story with no deeper meaning? Sorry, Scott. Bored with NCIS? How about helping with a "Quantum Leap" reboot or a "Romance, Romance" revival?
#8) Existence Is Futile
21 Jul 2020
I once gave a speech debating the morality of swatting a fly. Sadly, I can now properly empathize with a smooshed bug. Regarding the Borg collective: talking about normal, everyday simple things with someone sounds nice. How do I sign-up?
#9) Window of Opportunity
06 Sep 2020
The third time I met death was age 5. Snuck in the neighbor's yard to pet puppies. They stopped biting when my head hit the driveway and I was knocked out. Woke up in ER. Got a sucker. It was orange. My life? It was all stolen time.
#10) Performance Review
12 Nov 2020
Part 1: An Assumption. Is a one-sided dressing down really a "talk"? Sometimes my humor can fail to adequately emphasize underlying meaning - making the superficial way too blatant. Sorry.
#11) All the Time In the ...
11 Jan 2021
Not today, but sometimes cats are just metaphorical cruelties of "life". But mirrors, the Ark, Pepsi, sweaters and caps? That's a lot open for misinterpretation. Oh. Xmas Eve. And. YAY BROWNS!!!!! And. Go Buckeyes!
#12) Red Dwarf, Series M
12 Feb 2021
{B} I am a pure, anti-social introvert. I do not need people. But I will behave like an extrovert. If motivated. By something. Or someone. Which is why I have confused many, many people throughout my life.
#13) Occam's Astronauts
05 Mar 2021
Were we visited by ancient aliens? Who knows? Well, other than von Daniken and Tsoukalos. But this is the best explanation I have as to why the Earth is populated with so many intellectually challenged individuals.
#14) The Most Toys
11 Apr 2021
If it has people, Heaven sounds like Hell to me. Pet afterlife is where I want to go! Which is where my parent's dog went Easter weekend. For my dad? He lost my mom all over again. And it took me a week. To get this.
#15) Going Soon!
17 Jul 2021
(b) This is critical in today's world! You don't want a "Somewhere In Time" moment ruining the newly washed and laundered memory areas of your brain! Part, flashback. Part, I think I'm going to need this soon!
#16) The Lost Starfighter
25 Jul 2021
(b) My thoughts are all out of sequence. THIS was supposed to be after "Of Dawn and Dew", but before "Catastory". Either you're closing your eyes to a situation you do not wish to acknowledge ... my first show as a musician.
#17) 2001: A Space Idiocy
15 Aug 2021
Something that has always bothered me about 2001: A Space Odyssey? Yes, HAL has the Asimov's Laws conflict - at least on the way there. But it is really Dave's actions that kill Frank, the three crew, HAL ... and himself.
#18) Ifs and Wishes
23 Oct 2021
Wishes never come true. Or I wouldn't still be here. So. Should these characters be spared eternal comical damnation? The Explorer released from his misery. The Genie released from his curse. And Bo? Released from them both.
#19) The End of Time
25 Oct 2021
Silent? It would be hard to convey the stillness of it. All the sounds of man, the bleating of sheep, the cries of birds, the hum of insects, the stir that makes the background of our lives - all that was over. (The Time Machine - H. G. Wells)
#20) 20/20
02 Dec 2021
I've had this one planned for quite awhile. Technically speaking ... it is an alien "invasion" theme. I do love me an economy of words. Especially when they are obtuse. And succinct. At the same time.
