Top Ten Tuesday! Ten Reasons To Give Up Sleep
If we only have so much time on Earth, why spend a third of it unconscious? Sleep is such a waste of time and not productive at all. Some of the most famous people in history have not been sleepers. I saw an article that called the people who don’t sleep much, “the sleepless elite.” Damn, that’s sounds like a cool club to be in! They don’t give up sleep entirely. They get a little, but not the out cold for 7-8 hours that “doctors” recommend. Here’s why I’m joining the legions of intelligent,...

Music Monday! Grouplove: Good Morning
Grouplove is always one of my favorite, modern alternative music bands. They have a very unique sound and their videos are always fun. This one has the style of an 80’s music video. Have a great Monday!~Phil

Could There Be Snakes in YOUR Can?
[image error]
The answer to the title question is YES! The concept of the 2006 movie Snakes on a Plane is scary for just about anyone. There’s one thing scarier: snakes in your can, otherwise known as the loo, the John, the crapper, the khazi, the dunny, latrine, or toilet.
(As an aside, I also saw that in some places the word Vin was used for a toilet, which seems apropos when describing a Vin Diesel movie. Sorry Vin, but seriously, you gotta know you’re not doing Shakespeare out there, right?)
Yes, that...

Indie Author John Howell!
Heeer’es Johnny! John Howell has long been one of my favorite blogging friends and I’ve been terribly negligent in supporting him as an author. This week with the re-release and .99 cent sale of the first novel in his trilogy, I thought I’d start a new weekly feature on Fridays with authors I know and like. John has recently re-released his first novel in the trilogy for an astounding .99 cents on Amazon. From John, here’s a taste of what you’ll be getting in his story:

TBT! It’s Definitely Not The Cult of Personality
(03/05/16) I joined a cult recently. I knowingly and willingly joined this cult. Don’t worry, it’s not Scientology or the Amish. It’s a different, newer cult. I yearned to be let into their ranks, and now that I’m in the cult I’m certain it will drive me crazy. OK, crazier.

It started the day before Valentine’s Day. My wife knew I wanted into the cult for about three weeks, but I wasn’t willing to spend the money. So, for my Valentine’s Day gift she bought me entry into this exclusive cult....

Wordless Wednesday!
So if they know there’s an aggressive driver causing crashes, why don’t they arrest him?

Top Ten Tuesday! Ten Things Donald Trump Should Build a Wall Around
[image error]
As everyone knows, during his campaign Donald Trump promised to build a wall between the United States and Mexico. Listen Donald, if we’re building walls, I can think of plenty of other groups of people we should build walls against. In fact, I can think of ten:

10. People who still write paper checks at stores. This is a group of people who need to be walled off from the rest of the world, if only for their own protection. Can you say “justifiable homicide”?
9. People who want “you to copy...

Music Monday! Marian Hill
And the winner of Phil Factor’s Music Monday is….Lady Ga Ga! Oh, nope. Sorry. The real winner is Marian Hill! Despite Marian Hill sounding like a woman’s name, it’s not. Well, it probably is, but the musical artist Marian Hill is actually two people; production artist Jeremy Lloyd and vocalist Samantha Gongol. Their name comes from two characters, Marian Paroo and Harold Hill, from the musical The Music Man.
Have a great Monday! ~Phil

The 4th Annual Snap Judgement Oscar Awards!
[image error]
Tomorrow all the Hollywood types, that have yet to invite me into their exclusive club, get together in L.A. to pat themselves on the back. This is my wildly popular annual feature where I , without having seen any of the movies, suggest who should win all the major Academy Awards, otherwise known as The Oscars. Yes, I am able to let go of my grudge and any related animosity towards the Academy for never having given me an Oscar for blogging. I’ll start with the lesser categories, such as Lo...
