What does freedom mean to you? Freedom is a funny concept, and it is seen in different ways through different eyes. To some, freedom of speech, without any caveats or restraints, is paramount. That right to express any thought, any idea, no matter what, is considered to be the singular most important value. To others, […]
It seems some people have a pathological need to be dishonest, rude, and on occasion, nasty, all whilst claiming to uphold a higher standard. ‘Speak truth with love’. Well, some of these people most definitely don’t speak truth, and even if by some miracle they did, they don’t speak with love. As an example, take […]
Originally posted on The Coalition of the Brave. Ever wonder why Pride Month is a thing, and why it’s a protest as well as a celebration? Well, stuff like this is the reason. To quote from the link: According to (Reddit user) @HungryTaco4, she and her girlfriend were playing mini golf at a moderately crowded […]
The terms ‘Armageddon’ and ‘Apocalypse’ are often used interchangeably. Should they be interchangeable, or do they in fact have different meanings? Dictionary.com defines Armageddon as ‘the place where the final battle will be fought between the forces of good and evil (probably so called in reference to the battlefield of Megiddo. Revelation 16:16)’. The same […]
What public figure do you disagree with the most? Where do I even begin with this?! There are several public figures I cannot stand. The arrogant and hypocritical Piers Morgan comes to mind as a candidate, but the two that truly stand out for me are: And… Both men embody ‘qualities’ that should be anathema […]
Having met Riju, and having been alerted of an attack on a nearby bazaar, I naturally left the Gerudo Desert completely, to focus on some me time. My aim was to complete a few side-quests, and see what they might yield. First, I went in search of Dinraal, the fire dragon. I headed north of […]
What is your career plan? What are the working ambitions of this meerkat? Well, in terms of my job as a bathroom sales consultant, I am generally quite happy where I’m at, though if I was offered the role of assistant manager I wouldn’t turn it down. The reality is, I am not under any […]
I’ll confess that my direct involvement in my local community is muted. I’ll take part in local elections, I’ll shop in local shops, and where I work, I service the local community with their bathroom needs, but in terms of say, getting out and campaigning for this and that, that’s not really who I am. […]
So, here we are at the halfway point of 2023. Well, sort of. We’re halfway in terms of months, but not days. In a non-leap year, such as 2023, the halfway mark is actually the 2nd of July, so whether we’re actually halfway through depends upon how you are measuring the passage of time. Nonetheless, […]
Abstinence is all about the practice of restraint. It is about controlling one’s self, usually from an addictive substance (such as alcohol), though in some quarters, it is also regarding as a form of birth control. Restraining one’s self from bad habits is no bad thing. In some regards, vegetarians are practicing abstinence from meat. […]
In the not so distant future, I will have been blogging at Meerkat Musings for TEN years. That's sort of scary. I never set out to reach a milestone like that, but ten years on, Meerkat Musings feels like my home-on-the-web, so to speak. #BloggingCommunity
Now, this I find difficult. Of those I have tried, which admittedly is not many, I am rather fond of McDonald's fries, though Burger King's have grown on me.
Let me reiterate, this post is not suitable for work! However, it is perhaps not for the reasons you think (or hope!). I am no prude. I am a man of the world, and familiar with activities of an, um, personal nature. Let it also be said that if people wish to educate themselves about […]
