I Am You &Raquo; Notes To Self By Mark Obrien

I Am You

My name is Daniel. That won’t matter to you because you won’t see me. You’ll pass me by. But you won’t see me. So, my name won’t matter to you any more than I do. But I’m Daniel, nevertheless. Image By Leroy Skalstad From Pixabay.com I can’t decide If it’s odd that you don’t see […]

Hatred Is A Choice &Raquo; Notes To Self By Mark Obrien

Hatred Is a Choice

I have a theory. Most of my theories are now buried, layers deep, in the Great Trash Heap of Failed Ideas. But this one seems to possess some merit, to have legs as we say in the marketing biz. Try it on: Ignorance breeds fear, which breeds hatred, which breeds abuse, violence, and sometimes death. […]

Going Buggy &Raquo; Notes To Self By Mark Obrien

Going Buggy

In 2013, the United Nations published a paper called, Edible insects: Future prospects for food and feed security. Since then, as climate-change hysteria has escalated and people have started talking, writing, and worrying about things like cow farts, meatless diets, and how climate change would kill cows, pigs, and sheep anyway, even if they didn’t […]

The Irish Pub And Grill &Raquo; Notes To Self By Mark Obrien

The Irish Pub and Grill

Your friend and mine, Dennis Pitocco, sent me this photo of a watering hole near where he and his wife, Ali, live in Tampa, Florida: People who think Irish pubs and grills are a dime a dozen are most likely correct. But they probably don’t know why there are so many or why they’re called […]

It Couldn’t Happen Here &Raquo; Notes To Self By Mark Obrien

It Couldn’t Happen Here

I read a press release the other day saying W.C. Fields had been appointed President Biden’s Chief of Staff. When asked what his specific advice was for the President, Mr. Fields said, “Never give a sucker an even break or smarten up a chump.” As it turns out, that seems to have been translated into […]

Call Me &Raquo; Notes To Self By Mark Obrien

Call Me

I wonder that quite often when something that would have been evident to a blindman wearing a blindfold is presented as something revelatory or epiphanic.

Random Thoughts: A Writer’s Notebook

A popular expression says, “Everybody’s got a story.” I’m luckier than most, I have many. This is a collection of them. It’s necessarily incomplete because I’m still on the planet.
