Last updated on: June 14, 2009 at 9:18 am By John Shore

Are you a guy who thinks he might be having a midlife crisis? If you’d like to know for sure, take the simple test below. On a separate piece of paper, write down the number corresponding to the answer you picked for each of the questions. Once you’ve finished the test, tally up those numbers to arrive at your final score, which you can then use to discover whether or not you’re having a bonafide midlife crisis. Good luck! A....

(Master Navajo Painter Robert) Yellowhair in da Hizzle!

Last updated on: June 10, 2009 at 4:49 pm By John Shore

You swooned at my gorgeous, thrift-store-purchased painting by the great Argentinian Alejandro Lucas Debonis. You marveled at my ultra-thrifty Peruvian wonderland. You worried about What Did 50’s Kids Think of This Toy? You were minimal help figuring out what this thing is. And now comes this! The above original painting by contemporary Navajo master artist Robert Yellowhair was found amongst a bunch of stuff donated to one of the thrift stores run by Community Resource Center, in Encinitas, CA, where my wife Catherine...

Getting Big Laughs with The Pledge of Allegiance

Last updated on: June 8, 2009 at 9:06 am By John Shore

A memory: I’m making the eight or so classmates of mine who can hear me suffer from having to hold their laughter in. We’re all standing beside our desks saying the Pledge of Allegiance, same as we did every morning. On this morning, though, something in my sixth-grade brain snapped at the idea of repeating the same thing I’d been saying every school morning of my life. So while everyone else was saying the normal words of the pledge, I... Read more

The Power of the Internet

Last updated on: June 7, 2009 at 5:13 am By John Shore

My free 44-page e-book “Seven Reasons Women Stay in Abusive Relationships (and How to Defeat Each One of Them)” has been downloaded from Scribd.com well over 1,000 times, and read some 850 times. In a day. The Internet is such an amazing thing. I pray, of course, that the mini-book (which is derived from the series I’ve been writing here on my blog entitled, “Seven Reasons Women Stay in Bad Relationships”) is helping some woman, somewhere, deal with the difficult...

I Don’t See How I Could Possibly Be Famouser

Last updated on: June 4, 2009 at 6:02 pm By John Shore

I am happy to report that out of the literally tens of millions of documents available for downloading on Scribd.com, my collection, “My Funniest Stuff,” was chosen to display on Scribd’s front page. Doubt it, Thomas? Oh, yeah?! Then go to www.scribd.com. If the site hasn’t already crashed from all the other people no doubt rushing over there right now to wonder how I could possibly have the nerve to charge $6.99 for stuff I’ve already published on my blog....

Reason #6 Women Stay in Abusive Relationships

Last updated on: June 3, 2009 at 8:18 am By John Shore

(Update: All the posts of this series have been collected into one piece, Seven Reasons Women Stay in Abusive Relationships, and How to Defeat Each One of Them.) The sixth reason women too often continue in relationship with an abusive man is because they simply cannot believe that their man is as different from they as he apparently is when he’s abusive. A woman in an abusive relationship tends to think— to instinctively believe—that her man’s abusive behavior is, essentially,... Read more

Blogging. Flogging. What’s the Diff?

Last updated on: June 2, 2009 at 7:15 am By John Shore

This morning a reader, “urbanruralwitness,” left the saddest comment on my post My Cup Runneth Over. “At least more than 1 person looks at your blog,” he or she wrote. “Unlike me. Let me ask: Was it tough to start this blog? How did other people notice you? My blog is now a bud. A dead rotting bud. “A dead rotting bud!”! Poetic! And, like so much great poetry, it makes you want to kill yourself. My response to urbanrural... Read more
