  • Marching Band

    Marching band is a beautiful game It taught me what it means to have discipline To work hard Marching band is something I have spilled Blood, sweat, and tears for Quite literally Marching band is a beautiful game It’s the soreness of your muscles And the sound of the metronome running in your head Even…

  • I Broke It!

    I have a few things to mention today. First, I broke my server on Tuesday. I came home from work, and got a notice that my blog was down. It happens rather often lately (more in a minute). In an effort to reduce the frequency of the outages, I decided to change how my server…

  • Greece is Blue

    This is not fiction, but a true(ly boring) story.  Nothing in this is made up, but it is based on my memories of the time, so I don’t promise complete accuracy. ***** A long time ago, in a time far away, I was a young sailor on a ship in the Mediterranean. At the time…

  • My Beluga Family

    I really love beluga whales. I first saw one when I was 5 years old at the Georgia Aquarium, and I fell completely in love with beluga whales. I visit the Georgia Aquarium often, as my grandparents live in Georgia. One time, the beluga whale exhibit was closed, and that was what I was looking…

  • My Writing ‘Schedule’

    My writing schedule, is really not a schedule.  I have tried to keep this blog active with posts by writing in spurts and scheduling those posts for specific times.  I think consistency is good, and with the scheduled postings, I feel like I can be a little more consistent. Unfortunately, my actual writing times are…

    I finally created a new blog. Or at least, I completed the install for it. I haven’t posted anything on it yet, and right now if you were to go to it, it wouldn’t respond. (The site is ‘stopped’ in IIS). My intention is to get a post published on it soon. Probably in the…

  • The World Revolves Around Me

    The site name (TheWorldRevolvesAroundMichael) came from a joke with a radio show. In the early 2000’s there was a morning radio show with “Beaner & Ken”. I used to listen to them on my way to work each day. One of the things that I liked about the show was a weather segment with ‘Vulcan’.…

  • Why Do I Think I Want to Write?

    I first latched onto the idea of becoming a writer because my daughter mentioned wanting to be an author when she grows up. She was in 5th or 6th grade. She is an avid reader and the idea of being an author appealed to her. She even started writing stories for fun. I don’t think…

  • What if I had a Blog?

    I have been thinking that having a blog related to writing would be a good idea. To be clear, I am talking about a blog that is about my writing not a blog about how to be a writer. I am not a professional writer. I am not really even an amateur writer. Since I…
