This is my first attempt at doing anything like this, so please don't be to harsh on me with your criticism Theme: “The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed." - Albert Einstein ........................................................................................................

Well, in 9 short hours I get the opportunity to play lawyer again. Honestly, I really appreciate some of the more informal courts we have in America because the protocol is not so rigid, and any layman such as myself gets the opportunity to represent ourselves. Later on this morning, I will make my appearance in front of the California Unemployment Appeals Board in the case of: Lou Ron vs New World Industrial Coatings In the past one and a half weeks or so I have studied the pe...

I've seen many data charts and reports of this and that regarding global warming. The rise in sea level, the melting otf the polar ice caps, and biomes moving from here to there. Who really cares? The planet will survive, even if the financial structure of the world is forced to reconstruct. One thing I do know, if this picture depicts global warming, turn up the heat baby!

More than one person has coined me as a misogynist on various posts throughout the joeuser community. Ironically, all of these people are women. I am not certain whether or not these people are qualified to characterize me as such, but somehow they have gathered opinions from my various posts that often concern the relationships between men and women in society. While I can accept their opinions that I may act like a misogynist, I do hold resentment as being labeled as one by a layman. ...

It's been a while since I've written anything all that much meaningfulto anybody except myself, so yesterday I set out looking at images totry and spark whatever little creativity in this respect I possess. So surfing I went, and came up with this image of a cowboy on a horse,standing in the middle of  nowhere looking off into thedistance;off the Wikipedia website. The image of this man in this plainenvironment made me wonder how simple life really was back in the daysof America's infanc...

I found this pretty funny, and decided to share with you guys. I recieved this in my email from a friend of mine, Ken Carr, aninspiring young actor from Sacramento, whom had taken these snapshotswith his phone, while visiting Sonoma Outfitters in Reno, NV.

In January of 2000, I finally did it. I was living on the Peninsula and drove to Santa Rosa to pick up my payroll. I stopped off at a bar in Novato on the way home, as was customary at the end of most work days. Of course I over-did it; pretty much like I did everyday back then. So about 2 hours and $50 in drinks later, I headed off to SanRafael where I had lived for many years prior, to get some weed from a friend of mine. I cruised down the 101 freeway, and took the Anderson exit. I stop...

Well, if you ever wanted to see how cocaine is made in a field environment, here is your chance. Please take note of some of the reagents used in the processing; it's NOT done like this in a certified laboratory.

I think if I saw this, I might simply come to a dead stop! Or crash! I figure anything of this nature that gives me that funny feeling in my stomach, is definitely worth sharing guys

I've been divorced for a decade or so now, so I've had plenty of training in the domestic area. It hasn't been much of an issue the past 3 years or so, as my companion pretty much takes care of the bulk of our domestic chores. However, as some of you may have read, thats all coming to an end tomorrow, and I'm back to being a bachelor yet again; at least for a while. Anyhow, when it comes to domestic chores, I have to admit I'm pretty lazy. Unfortunately, I can't stand living in a pig s...

From January 2000 to present, for various reasons, most of them as stupid as the plight that enabled my dilemma, I have battled the DUI school. Finally though, after yet another visit to the Marin courts and another visit to an all to familiar judge, the battle is drawing neigh to a close. Yes, the judge offered me yet one last referral into the DUI school; "This is the last one Lou. Next time it will be 19 hours in the county jail". I couldn't help but to suppress a smirk, 19 hours indeed...

Well, it seems as the President of NWIC, Dave the moron strikes yet again. My ex-direct superior Dan, the most skilled painter in the company, was let go on Monday. Dan, NWICs Executive Field Officer, has been a commercial painter in excess of 25 years, and IMHO is one of the best I've seen in my 15 years. The excuse he was given was the company could not afford to pay him. Well, I don't see how this can be. If any of you know how Public Works and prevailing wage jobs go, all journeyme...

Well, I walked in Monday evening to set up my account, for the 5 remaining classes I have to complete before my drivers license is returned to me. An ordeal that began in January of 2000. I walked into this place, that was unlike the last I was enrolled in, a private institution. Greeted by a charming and witty woman, who really bent over backwards to accommodate me in so many ways. Anyhow, she made it so my fist class began the following day on Tuesday, and my final class will be Janua...
