This is where we learned:
Red=Danger
Red=Stop
Red=Needs your attention
Red=Immediate
Red=now
Innocently driving, that’s how we were color conditioned. So, if someone says, “Red State” you’re like OMG it must be bad.
Patience.
Followers, fans, and readers, I love and appreciate all of you.
And now, a little teaser.
“Either way, the odds are stacked against me, so I figured this would be a great time to talk to you. I watch the news, I read the newspapers, and I listen to the radio. I listen to people talking about me in public. No one has any idea that I’m the lunatic. Thank God, no one turned in my direction to ask for an opinion. I don’t even know what I would say. I mean, would I be able to sit there and talk to someone about me? I don’t know, but here’s the thing. People want to know what happened to me. Yes, there’s another phase to this. All kinds of professionals and doctors are meeting to discuss me and my psychological condition. They have questions of their own.”
That was a snippet from Lunatic 2 The Dark Side, a chapter in my new book.
Lunatic 2 is short story fiction, and you can read the entire chapter, including the first part, Lunatic in Smorgasbord A Collection of Thoughts Experiences and Stories.

Have a wonderful night and a blessed day tomorrow.
Robert E. Lee, for those who don’t know, was a commander of the Confederate Army during the Civil War.
In my opinion, the removal of this statue is yet another hack at the history of the United Sates.
When I was hard at work in the Journalism program at William Paterson University, I would sometimes take short breaks, walk to the local 7Eleven, and buy a copy of the Star Ledger. The Star Ledger, now that was a newspaper.
When I moved to Pennsylvania I bought the Morning Call, and I was like what is this, anyway…….
I would sit in my car and thumb through the paper. I played football at the time so the Sports Section was most important, especially on Mondays after the NFL played on Sunday.
“Thank God for the Sports Section, it’s the only thing that’s real,” that’s what I used to say.
Real. What did I mean by real back then because at that time (2000-2003), there was not a doubt in my mind that the Middle East and Muslim terrorists were responsible for 911, and that was almost twenty years before President Trump began calling out the mainstream media?
Real. What did mean by real?
Ten years later it came to me.
New York Giants 19 Washington Redskins 10.
This is a fact, and you cannot debate it. It doesn’t matter how much you hate either team, and it doesn’t matter how much you inject your poisonous personal opinions (PPO’s) into the article itself; at then end of it all, you have to accept the New York Giants as the winner because of the score.
Case closed.
Now, if we can just keep out all the political over and undertones and propaganda, we might get our sport back.
Have a blessed day.
I’m going to share a little something that happened today that I thought was awesome.
In my new book Smorgasbord 2 Catch Up and Relish, there’s a story that’s spilt into two separate chapters, it’s called Witches In Heat, Part 1 and Part 2.
It’s about a guy, who gets taken back in time by a girl working at a local Farmer’s Market. While walking to the store to buy a new laptop for work, he comes across a barn that’s really a store selling fresh fruits and vegetables. His walk was a long one so he stopped at the barn to take a break, and while he was there he fell asleep. When he woke up there was a dark cloud overhead, and that’s when all the strangeness begins.
The inspiration for this story came from a day when I actually spilled coffee on my laptop. I didn’t have a car at the time so I walked to the local Target. On my way there I saw a red barn. I didn’t stop or anything, but that’s where the inspiration for the story came from.
Since writing that story I haven’t been back that way, but today, now that I have my car, I decided to drive over to where the Target is. On my way home, I passed the barn on my right, and there was a girl outside mowing the grass. The barn was open and they were selling flowers, and fresh fruit like raspberries and blueberries.
I had to stop! LOL
This will be amazing to you when you read the story in Smorgasbord 2, but I stopped. Without getting too in depth, many of the details written in the story were coming to fruition right in front of me. It was so eerie, especially when the raincloud rolled in, but like I said, when you read the story you’ll appreciate this post.
I should’ve stayed there..
Happy 4th of July 2021! 245 years ago on July 4, 1776, the Declaration of Independence was formally adopted by congress.
Americans today recognize the 4th of July as the day we claimed our independence from Great Britain. We celebrate it by barbequing, spending time with friends and family, and shooting off fireworks.
Today in 2021, on July 4th, America is 245 years old. Happy birthday America!
Have a blessed and joyful day!
You are an American Citizen.
You’re powerful.
You have rights.
You have a voice.
Now, I ask, where’s your moral compass? Where’s your ability to differentiate between right and wrong? What happened to your common sense?
The large companies we all work for are not going to close down. If you worked your ass off to build a successful company would you allow the government to shut you down?
No, you’re going to do everything in your power to keep your business afloat, and that includes having the best attorneys and most up-to-date information on hand.
In order to remain successful, companies, weather it’s right or wrong, remove problems because their goal is to keep making money. They don’t care if it’s your human right to not wear a mask. They don’t care if it’s a medical issue. They’re going to work with government and government agencies to ensure the future success of their business.
If ten people refuse to wear masks, they’ll fire them and hire ten people who will.
You’re not insignificant though. You do have rights and you do have a voice. Don’t let corporate greed deter you. There’s a huge overreach going on right now.
I’ve had almost ten jobs in last year. I’m not bragging, I just want you to know Nooz Buffet is here for you.
Have a wonderful day.

The radio was on in my car while I was driving early this morning. There were three people working at the radio station, and they raised the question; Should schools stop teaching children how to write in cursive?
They all said yes, schools should stop teaching it because there’s no need for it anymore. No one writes checks and everyone pays their bills online.
My educational background is is in the Arts, communication and journalism. I’ve been writing for my entire life, and I was taught how to write in cursive when I was a young student in school.
Technology is manmade. Long after technology is gone, humans will still be here.
Learning how to write in script is not just about you paying bills and writing checks. Writing is an art, and therefore, a form of self-expression. By learning script you activate a portion of your brain that would otherwise remain inactive.
How can you be the best and most developed version of yourself if you’re dependent on technology? The leaders of these BIG TECH companies are some of the wealthiest people in the world, and we’ve made them wealthy by participating in their programs and purchasing their products.
It’s okay to participate and purchase, but please, don’t ever give up the basic skills you should learn and master.
These companies don’t care about the development or underdevelopment of your skills and natural abilities, they care about their technology and the money it makes for them, but the more we use GPS, calculators, computers, etc. the less we use and rely on our own brains.
More technology use=dumber humans.
