I wrote a new song recently. Actually, I wrote two. (That was quite odd. Two in one day was a new experience for me.) To be fair, these songs are not actually yet fully complete. I’m certain that I will tweak them musically as well we lyrically. But for the most part, two near-complete songs…
Personal
The Blame Game
Deep within the heart of mankind is a hesitancy, if not an outright refusal to accept responsibility. Some of us are able to work up the courage on occasion, but generally our first (and second, and third) response is to point the finger at someone else. Yesterday a friend told me a story he had…
Sex Sells (Apparently)
I wouldn’t usually post such photos here. But I guess I’m trying to make a point. Have we really gotten so used to seeing women in their underwear (or less) that it doesn’t even slightly surprise us? (My hope is that when you saw the photo for this post on my website, you were surprised,…
Eating Better
It’s not a New Year’s Resolution, really, but since around January 3rd or so, I’ve been eating better—and I’m already really noticing the effects of it! Around the holidays (which, in America means October 31st through January 1st, give or take a few days or weeks) we are inundated with all kinds of wonderful foods,…
Christianity, or Jesus? (Aren’t They the Same?)
Our family is currently making our way through the book of Luke together. We’re taking our time, but I do enjoy reading in larger chunks, so we will often read what might be the subject of an entire series of sermons in one sitting. Tonight, we read through the fifteenth chapter: the three stories of…
Communication Curmudgeon
I think I’m becoming ‘That Guy’. The old guy who laments the passing of the glory days of yesteryear, and lambasts the continuously degrading patterns of behavior exhibited by each successive generation. Yep. Sometimes, that’s me. For example… I find myself frequently commenting on my son’s tendency towards wearing his hat backwards, purposely wearing socks…
Christmas All Year Round?
We’re getting really, really close to Christmas Day. Have you noticed? Throngs of folks out picking up gifts for everyone they love—and maybe some they don’t—all hoping that the recipient will feel the love held for them by the giver through the gift chosen and given. It’s kinda fun, actually. (Except for the “throngs” part….
Real Stuff
I am not a food or nutrition “nut”. (And I can’t imagine I’d ever be accused of being so.) But I do keep moving more and more toward making sure that I and my family are eating actual food. Both because of health, and because of taste! However, there are some holiday traditions (and family…
Big Box Thinking
New-ish friend and somewhat-regular blog reader, Jessica, noticed a brief aside in this post not too long ago, and encouraged me to take some time to flesh out the thoughts that I previously quickly prohibited. (They were not directly related to the post being written then, and they also would have likely nearly doubled the…
How To Clean Your Bombilla
This post may not appeal to every one of the regular visitors to GregsHead.net, but there continues to be a stream of traffic landing on my previous post, “Clean Your Bombilla“. This post is mainly for you, new and random cyber-guest! (And fellow yerba mate aficionado!) Yesterday I decided it was time to clean my…
