Pontifications on a variety of subjects as seen while peering into my bowl of Oatmeal at breakfast. Saturday, May 30, 2015. So, Bride asked me last night if I had ended up now where I had planned to be when I was a younger man. No one has ever asked me that question in quite that way before. This is actually a very good question, at least I think so. It really made me think about my youth and where my young and mostly dumb self thought I might be at age 50. Sadness scan come from pondering a past event, ...

Mr. Oatmeal's Oratories: May 2013
http://mroatmealsoratories.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Pontifications on a variety of subjects as seen while peering into my bowl of Oatmeal at breakfast. Sunday, May 19, 2013. Truckloads of bullshit from the news - what the hell does it all mean? How do we process it all, I for one do not think we have evolved enough to keep pace – and that worries me. We are bombarded with the likes of Benghazi, Boston bombing, Jodi Arias and the kidnapped and tortured women of Cleveland. I wonder if everyone finds it as scary as I do, the brief and horrifying vivid 30 sec...

Pontifications on a variety of subjects as seen while peering into my bowl of Oatmeal at breakfast. Sunday, September 14, 2014. A few days off from the Facebook - what an experience. So last Monday night Bride and I were sitting around playing on our gadgets, we both have iPads. I realized as I watched her, she was playing a game, that we spend an inordinate amount of time on our gadgets. It dawned on me how much time we spend with our faces in the gadgets and not on each other. Since many of the same ar...

Pontifications on a variety of subjects as seen while peering into my bowl of Oatmeal at breakfast. Sunday, October 20, 2013. Time, it is the fire in which we all burn. Time is the most familiar thing in the world, and yet philosophically one of the most puzzling. Is the present what's left when you subtract what has already happened, and what is yet to happen? Then it seems to vanish into a mere instant. Are future events completely unreal? Or are they just the things we can't know yet? Time, I hate to ...

After reading my first blog about my friend Alison, I saw that I had done what the Sherriff had done. Like him, I made a snap decision and reported the facts. It seems my first blog was not well thought out and just rambled. My heart was seared with the immediacy of the pain I was feeling for the loss of my friend. I have stared at Google maps lo...

I will preface this – I have never watched the show and I know nothing about this dude other than what I see on Facebook or in some of the periodicals I peruse. So, with that said I do not want to bash Phil and his beliefs but society as a whole. Does no one see the hypocrisy here? I suppose the one thing this...

Mr. Oatmeal's Oratories: August 2013

Pontifications on a variety of subjects as seen while peering into my bowl of Oatmeal at breakfast. Tuesday, August 20, 2013. Yesterday a friend of mine lost his wife and life partner of 44 years – I learned about it via an email. That email contained 18 words to sum it up, it was startlingly bleak. She has not been well for some time and I do not feel I have been as good a friend as I needed to be for him. I do not feel I have been as good a friend as I needed to be for him either. I have learned more i...
