Since I would never use this word in a sentence, here’s a picture of the band #Argent from 1973.

“He’s just a #creep.”

He could have been shunned in his childhood by his parents, treated as a nuisance. He could never have learned how to interact with others in the “normal” way.

Some lash out in tragic ways. Most retreat further into their own worlds. All are injured.

The actions of the current US administration on energy policy have one basic tenet: to make the demand curve for gasoline less #elastic. If there is more stable demand, the friends of Donald make more money.

It’s really that simple.

It was the first flight of a new rocket system. The engineers believed that they had accounted for every #eventuality.

But they did not. Three of our finest perished.

Later, astronaut Frank Borman correctly attributed the cause: "A failure of imagination."

“The Gods #conspire against me!”

The Gods have better things to do than ensure your downfall. It’s time for a little perspective.

Boxing is one of the most aggressive sports. Boxers never #flinch.

Me, I'll just sit quietly in the theater and watch.

The next time you have a conversation in a #doorway, think about your justification for believing that you are the most important person in the world at that moment in time.

I'll wait.

Those who #yearn for "simpler" times are trying to sell you half a story.

Some of us know about the other half.

#Angel or demon.

What is the difference?

The judgement of others.

We are both, to varying degrees.

I, for one, embrace my balance.

Audiot #Savant

1. A play on the term "idiot savant" that emphasizes Audio.

2. A musical project whose sole goal is to confuse the digital archaeologists of the future.

3. Two old guys with nothing better to do.

The greatest challenge when facing an overwhelming force is to resist viewing you life through the #prism of inevitability.

To be a #patriot is to be loyal to an idea.

It's way too easy to be caught up in #nostalgia in your everyday life. For example, tune into most rock radio stations. They're playing 50 year old songs like they are current releases.

Sometimes I'm glad I didn't go to MIT. I'm the sort who would be wandering the ultimate #liminal space of the Infinite Corridor for all time. Life is confusing enough, thank you.

Lt. Worf sounds the alarm. "Stellar #vortex off of the starboard bow!"

"Those are boring," replied Cmdr. Riker. "We need a nice time displacement to pad this episode out to one hour."

"Look to your left then, sir," Worf said.

When you focus on the #self, it is easy to lose perspective.

There are billions of things going on right now on this planet, a fairly unremarkable place orbiting a fairly unremarkable star at the edge of a huge galaxy, one of millions.

All of that doesn't matter. Keep your room clean.
