As I saunter into the sterile office building
My eyes fixate
On that lone distant softwood tree
Way up on that mountaintop
All alone
Not a care in the world
Almost reaching out to me
Calling me up yonder
I stare up at that tree every morning
And wish I could accept its invite
Looking forward to this

The Cassette Chronicles is a continuing series of mini reviews and reflections on albums from the 1980’s and 1990’s. The aim of this series is to highlight both known and underappreciated albums from rock, pop and metal genres from this time period through the cassette editions of their releases.

I don’t plan on running for president anytime soon. However, if I did, and was elected, things would be a whole lot different around here. This post is not meant to get into anything political AT ALL, rather, it’s a way for me to blow off a little steam regarding a bunch of things people say WAY TOO MUCH that drive me crazy. As there are approximately eight gazillion things that bother me, I will share a partial list, say, every Thursday.
So, without further ado, here is my list of catch words, sayings, and phrases that will be OUTLAWED or simply GONE, should I ever become president. A word of caution, you most likely use one or many of these………
Individual silos
This is used in business, especially in larger organizations. When separate departments do not work well together, they say, “We’re all in our individual silos.” Stupid.
An arm and a leg
“I paid and arm and a leg for that camera.” I enjoy picture taking, but not at the cost of my limbs.
Dumber than a box of rocks
I know a LOT of dumb people. They’re still smarter than a box of rocks. And why is it a box of rocks? Why not a bag of rocks? Or a box of bagels?
Chill
“Why don’t you just chill?” No, thank you. It’s winter. I’m chilled enough. I especially hate it when people describe themselves as, chill, as in, “usually, I’m just chill.” Again, stupid.
This is sick
This is used to describe something……. Good? “Dude, look at that car! It’s sick!” Sounds like a lemon.
Smell a rat
When something seems off, people say they smell a rat. Well, let me tell you something. I had a girlfriend. She always smelled great. She cheated on me and lied about it. She still smelled great while doing so.
You win the Internet
When someone has a “witty” one-liner online, someone else rewards them with winning the Internet. Please.
It’s the little things
The quirks
The mannerisms
The things that drive you crazy
You poke about them behind their back
Maybe even chuckle
Some days, they are downright aggrivating
But they’re there
And they’re not going away
Until they do go away
Forever
And you miss them
Terribly
Very sad story…….
Josh Hilberling was a 23 year old man who died after his wife Amber Hilberling pushed him out of their high-rise apartment window. The case gained a lot of media attention and controversy surrounded it as people tried to determine whether Amber killed her husband on accident or purposely.

Amber Hilberling was born on October 1, 1991. She came from a very well-off family. Others described her as very smart and beautiful. The couple met in early 2010 and began dating. Josh was going to be sent off for the military, so in order to stay and live together, the couple got married a few months after meeting each other.

Welcome to my personal rant that gets me fired up traveling to and from work, and really, anywhere in between. I struggle with other people sharing my roadways. Thanks Dad! In an effort to not take part in a road rage incident, I’ve decided to express my frustrations in a healthier manner. Right here. For you.
Person A: You won’t be happy until you are the only person driving out there.
Me: How do we make that happen?
Offense: Waiting too long to go when the car in front of you at a red light turned green drives away
Tip: Go a split second after they go
This one drives me insane! I’ll be the fifth car in line at a red light. The light turns green. The first driver goes. The second driver waits what seems to be a half an hour to go themselves. Why? JUST GO ALREADY! But nope, the third driver does the same. The fourth driver repeats the offense and then runs the yellow light to get through. I’m now left at a red light. Seething.
