What’s something you would attempt if you were guaranteed not to fail. Good question. If you were certain to succeed at something, what would you put your energies into? There’s lots of what might be considered mundane skills that would be great to have. For instance, I do not drive. If I did, might that […]
There is a place within Disney’s parks that has become a legendary open secret for its opulence and attention to detail. It is an ultra-exclusive (and expensive) club, and there is a long wait to get in. I am talking of Club 33. The first edition of Club 33, which was accessed via a most […]
Who are your favorite artists? Have I done this one already? WordPress’s Prompt of the Day can be repetitive, which is why I have by-and-large avoided it, but every now and then, when I am struggling for inspiration, I’ll turn to it. The prompt from all the way back on the 10th of October was […]
The 1st of November 1993 was a big moment in European history. This was the date the Maastricht Treaty, which established the European Union, came into effect. Some – such as the yet-to-be-justified Brexiteers – would argue this was a bad moment in history. Others would argue that the European Union has been a force […]
It’s time for the spookiest time of the year! Now, I could turn this post into a lengthy explanation as to Halloween’s origins… or I could focus on what makes the occasion a fun, enjoyable night! Ever since my daughter was little, she has loved Halloween. My wife and I have pictures of her in […]
Yet again, the author of Theology Archaeology has twisted, lied, and evaded, attempting to pass off his long-running campaign of deceit, harassment and petty behaviour with a long-winded, and extremely self-indulgent post. As usual, he is too afraid to link directly to my posts, so people are unable to gain the correct context for the […]
Merriam-Webster’s Word of the Day for the 7th of October was portentous. This is an interesting word, a foreshadowing term, warning of (usually bad) upcoming events. You might be familiar with the expression ‘portent of doom’. Portent and portentous are related words, so it will be of no great surprise as to portentous’ meaning. Have […]
The hypocrisy from the petty peanut gallery continues. The author of Theology Archaeology has written up yet another lengthy-yet-misleading rant as to how everyone distorts his words. Yet again he has demonstrated no self-awareness, and no ability to reflect upon whether or not he could be at fault. Naturally, he won’t link to any of […]
Body-shaming is not a new phenomenon, though it is a pretty hateful one. It is often directed at women (sometimes by men, sometimes by other women) who do not conform to society’s expectations of beauty and image. Women are often told how they should be, with ridiculous demands around size. These expectations make no consideration […]
It would seem the wayward ‘Christian’ author of Theology Archaeology is not quite done distorting our latest head-to-head. It seem he either has a short memory, or he is being dishonest, and I suspect I know which. In a long-winded yet ultimately meaningless rant, he bemoans my lack of understanding of his use of words, […]
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.
Do you vote in political elections? You can bet your ass that I vote! Ever since I was a young meerkat, I have regarded exercising my right to vote as an important civic duty. I always vote in general elections, and try to vote in local elections too. I can understand why some people abstain, […]
