Dawg gon it!

What's with the partial discrimination by the local 'parks and recreation' folks in my city? I am certainly feeling not recreated.

There is a new trend to invest dollars into DOG PARKS where the social mingling and dating kicks off both for the animal and its owner.

What about those of us who do not like Dogs - own Dogs - or any other creature on more than 2 legs (or for that matter on 2 legs that does not use a toilet)?

I am sick and tired of these people with dogs that have an exclusive club to visit but can also take liberties with letting their pet loose in a 'community park' which technically allows for all forms of life to 'enjoy and recreate' in the surrounds. Even more annoying is the habit of these dog owners to assume that everyone on this planet is somehow as enamored with their four legged critter as they are. Hence no leash in many cases - whence the animal takes off in complete abandon - not that it knows not to - with its owners partaking the scene with a sense of wonder.

These animals then commence to lick humans or run into them at full tilt since their current existence stuck with the smelly dude or dudess (read owners) has not impressed them much - they want to park (for a leak I guess) and recreate too.

I really pity all animals that have to spend their existence inside a house (not of their choosing) when they were really designed to be outdoor enthiusiasts in the first place.

Can I introduce the idea of a DOG FREE (make that PET FREE) park where mortals like me can enjoy some solitude without having to wonder if their shoes will encounter liquids because some other species decided to use it for a post?

Or get 30 lbs of brute energy ram into your knees when you least expect it?

Did I mention these guys can be real fast and stealthy?

Of Jims and Johns

Here is another essay on the subject of first names. As in birth names. Or names provided to an offspring at birth. While the developed world tends to shy away from the exotic like Refrigerator or Coca Cola for their new production there is a plethora of Jims and Johns and Bobs or Robs. Speaking of which I do not think there is a categoric decision point at the time of birth if a child will be hereafter called as Bob. I mean have not yet met a toddler called Bob or Rob for that matter. At some point though the parental instinct to mouth out multiple syllables runs out and they switch from calling the crawler Robert to simply Robbie to Rob. Now speaking of - it is strange that the name sounds like something you would not want Rob to do - i.e. Rob anyone. Then why call someone that? After all Rob Peter to Pay Paul is not exactly a maxim to live a young life? Is it? Perhaps Peter or Paul might want to have a say in it? Then there is this matter of going to the John. Why degrad...

You are important to us

Followed by piano music.   Followed by 'we are experiencing heavier than usual call volume'.  Sounds macabre like bleeding during menstruation or after a ghastly attack with a weapon on a hemophiliac.  Sorry Mrs. Johnson but it appears little Gertrude here has been bleeding heavier than usual what with her night time activities competing with the woodchucks in your neighborhood. Some services even go as far as to pick a random day to say - 'if you were to call us during the Chinese lunar month when the moon is axiomatically hugging the polar star with Jupiter intravenous when call volume is light'.  Well I will be damned.  I thought  I had checked with my astrologer before I placed this well focused call but  I guess this is what you get for listening to a quack. Umph! I am not sure which marketing genius came up with this personal touch concept of informing the caller that you are really a jackass for actually calling the customer serv...

Presumptive Society

Today's world is hyper connected.  I am not so sure what it means but you hear it a lot.  It is probably hyper but not sure how connected it is.  Sugar (fermented or not) is available in many ways than before and so getting hyper is easy.  It is probably more a threat than cocaine since it is sold legally. And what is this connected stuff?  Most people I encounter seem disconnected from reality.  So going back to this assumption that we are connected there are subtle and no so subtle instances of how brands and companies and middle men try to portray someone - A linkedin profile for somebody working for X years at a place advertises to the connected network that so and so is CELEBRATING X years @ Such and Such Inc. Do we know if (s)he is celebrating or cringing?  Perhaps a better way to portray will be - So and So LASTED X years @ such & such inc. Then it exhorts the readership to go ahead and congratulate them for this lasting effe...
