Every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world." .Robert F. Kennedy. Tuesday, December 29, 2009. Broken Filter - Signing Off. It’s been said that all great television series last one season longer than they should have. Perhaps the same can be said of blogs. When I began Broken Filter a few years ago, it was just a hobby – a means by which to vet my writing skills against public exposure, and hopefully mature and grow as a writer. It made me happy. So, with this final p...

Every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world." .Robert F. Kennedy. Saturday, February 28, 2009. On Behalf of a Grateful Nation. Photo Contest, the theme for the month is "Humanity" and I'm getting my entry in at the last possible minute. It was taken last week at the funeral services for my grandfather, who was a veteran of the Korean War. Then, while a bugler plays Taps, the American flag is lifted. I Need Some Advice, Please. I always remember believing that once yo...

Every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world." .Robert F. Kennedy. Tuesday, July 14, 2009. Look Mom, No Morals! They said I had to take it. They threatened not to let me graduate. So here I am, in the middle of a college level calculus class paying the consequences of a lifetime spent shunning math with a level of avoidance usually only reserved for things like ex-spouses, audits, and herpes. For extreme right-brained losers like myself. God hates me, doesn’t he?

Every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world." .Robert F. Kennedy. Sunday, May 3, 2009. There's just nothing prettier than a cherry-red car waxed to a high-mirror shine! This is how I spent my Sunday afternoon. I have to make a payment on it tomorrow, and somehow that always hurts less when I'm feeling good about the car. Saturday, May 2, 2009. The Heart and Soul of Chopsticks. I remember whenever I used to practice piano. 8220;real music.”. The Best Years of Our Lives.

Every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world." .Robert F. Kennedy. Monday, November 23, 2009. John q public@gullible.com. It’s one of those unfortunate consequences of the information age: politically charged email. I had hoped it would reach its ugly peak during last year’s presidential election but lately I find no signs of it stopping. The big question lurking in my mind is: When did email become the political tool of idiots? I know my sources can’t be wrong ...

Every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world." .Robert F. Kennedy. Saturday, September 19, 2009. Athens: Where History and Hookers Collide (Part 2). To be sure, Athens. To say nothing of Greece as a whole). How in the hell do you lose a 40-foot statue, no matter what it’s made of? As in Socrates’ case). Leaving the Plaka that afternoon, we tried and failed to catch a bus to the Temple of Poseidon, learning that outside the tourist areas, English is rarely spoken or wr...

Broken Filter: My Journey to Greece: How People Never Really Change (Part 1)

Every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world." .Robert F. Kennedy. Saturday, September 12, 2009. My Journey to Greece: How People Never Really Change (Part 1). To understand what Greece meant to my life at large, I suppose a brief unraveling of the events that led up to it is necessary. This past summer, my efforts at blogging and writing in general have faded off to practically nothing so maybe an explanation of that is the first step. Its odd seeing how your grandfa...

Every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world." .Robert F. Kennedy. Tuesday, April 21, 2009. Life can be so unfair for the culturally refined! It was clear to me that I was going to make no progress without the help of someone who a) knew what they were doing, and b) had enough patience to teach a 90 pound weakling how to work out. Enter my very own “Personal Trainer! Work out all by myself without the trainer. 8221; I nearly gave birth. Saturday, April 18, 2009. Blame...
