Misc things that sprout in my mind
As I mentioned earlier, I am now limiting my regular posts here on RJsCorner to four times a week on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and a short “trivia” post on Saturday. Limiting my posts here will give me time to do a better job at my other three blogs. I will be using my “off day” slots here for “by the way” (btw) snippets which will … Continue reading Explaining btw
I have been loosely following the latest Supreme Court nomination, so I thought I would put out some thoughts that go contrary to an Originalist’s view of the Constitution. Plainly speaking it makes no sense to me in that it goes against everything the primary founders believed. How’s that for an opening statement? 🤣 Unlike most of my posts in the pre-election period, I don’t … Continue reading An Originalist’s View of the Constitution
I was fascinated by this modern interpretation of the 10 Commandment when I came across them recently. I must admit that I didn’t really feel that the Old English version found in most Bibles applied to me. It’s kind of like when I read the Bible from cover to cover, I have done that on three occasions, and always found myself struggling through it. The … Continue reading The 21st Century Interpretation of the 10 Commandments.
I want to thank Bob Lowery and his commentors over at Satisfying Retirement for giving me so many ideas for blog posts here at RJsCorner. The viewer discussion is beyond imagination for my little blog here at RJsCorner. This post is one of those topics. Most people seem to look at a college education as to how it applies to a future job. As usual, … Continue reading The Value Of A College Education
I have decided to do an extended study of Humanism at the recently resurrected RedLetterLiving blog. Click HERE to see the first post. Continue reading Humanism And Jesus
I recently watched an episode of the PBS Newshour where a doctor on the front lines of this epidemic described what he thought was the most tragic thing he has faced. He said it devastates him to see whole families being sick at the same time and to have more than one of them die! He went on the mention that there is so much … Continue reading The Most Tragic Thing About This Pandemic
As my regular readers might know the book shown just below has been on my annual reading list for the last dozen years. Last week was the time I did my 2020 reading of the Delany sisters. This book which is mainly words from the sisters is just so pointed and down to earth about what life was like for people of color in the … Continue reading It Wasn’t Meant For Us…
For this “chill out” Saturday post I thought I would give you a gallery of some of my furry friends in my life. I have had pets all my life. They just seem to be better friends to me than the humankind. They accept me for who I am and give unconditional love which is rare for us human beings to do. Continue reading An Ode To My Furry Friends
A girl I knew came back from Miami so brown I gave here a practical birthday gift — Saddle soap. Take My Wife, Please – Henney Youngman’s Giant Book of Jokes I have never been one to lie around the beach so that the sun could burn my skin brown. I lived about 15 minutes from the beach during my four years in New Jersery … Continue reading Take My Wife – A Miami Tan
My brain seems to always be running a 100mph. I have been looking for yet another graphical representation of it in action and I think I have found it. Of course, I have said that a hundred times in the past, so I will obviously keep looking. Here is the latest version. My brain is like a hundred mosaics that somehow manage to coexist. Or … Continue reading Describing My Brain… Chapter 23
I think of myself as among other things an amateur philosopher, psychologist, and altruist. I don’t mind putting my thoughts out there alongside the deep thinkers in these areas. This post is about what I have come to realize are the three basic areas of a person’s life, or at least my life as far as it has played out so far. But, I kinda … Continue reading The Trimesters Of Life – according to RJ
I have been living by this mantra for most of my life, always dreaming that my life will get better if I really want it too. But, since I have lived on this earth for more than seventy years and likely only have a handful left, maybe I should accept that the best is past. Given the pandemic and all the anxiety that it has … Continue reading The Best Is Yet To Come?
I did some looking-forward in the last Looking Glass post in order to guess what the coming six months will look like. But this is the first post to go full-forward in that regard. Being the amateur futurist that I am I can see lots of changes during this fourteen-year period. Since I am also an optimist most of my predictions will be progressive and … Continue reading In To The Looking Glass – 2021-2035
All my life I just can’t seem to feel joy the way I want to. I have called my down times depression but I don’t think that is the real truth. Trying to zero down to the core reason for not being able to accomplish happiness is the topic of this second post. To briefly summarize yesterday’s post I ended up thinking that I don’t … Continue reading The Root Of It All – Part 2
This post originally appeared on my new blog at MyViewOfTheWorld, but since it has had some pretty dismal viewership there I decided to resurrect it here and put that blog in hiatus until I can figure out how to make it more successful. I hate to waste a good post and in my mind this is a good one. 🤪 I am always on the … Continue reading Auto School – 1920 Style
