THE ARMCHAIR ACTOR, FILM MAKER, PRODUCER, PLAYWRIGHT,ETC.

This armchair series I am composing will perhaps tend to exhaust the ability of readers to maintain their 'armchair' status and goad them into professional efforts and less amateurish areas than what appear here.

THE ARMCHAIR TRAVELER

Here one can travel along the open roads of the imagination and discuss places one would actually like to be outside the normal routine of life, one's workplace, or one's actual obligations and without spending any time aboard ship, plane, or on foot. No need to get seasick, airsick, or hot and dusty or cold and wet, traipsing about the globe when one, in the privacy of one's home or on-line can view videos, photos, maps, travel brochures and anything else that will lend support to one's notions of ideal travel without lifting a foot or perhaps just a finger or two. You can also sample, thanks to globalization, all the exotic or nearly all of the exotic foods and cuisine around the worth, either by takeout, by calling in for delivery, or opening one's own refrig after some shopping trips to the super-duper stores,etc. Bon Apetit!

THE ARM CHAIR WARRIOR

There are a number of 'martial artists' and others who like to sit in their chairs and pontificate on war, fighting, video games of a similar nature, and read, discuss, and explain all sorts of theories, applications, histories, personalities, etc. in this field, and I have to admit, it is tempting to do so and to avoid getting any blood shed,either yours or any actual opponent or enemy you may encounter, and additionally not expending any energy,undergoing any risk or even sweating when one can be in a most comforable chair or roo,

THE ARMCHAIR HISTORIAN

In this posting, I hope to convey some of my interests in HISTORY, which is a large area with many categories and topics, but will tend to focus on my specific interests and observations,which will,no doubt, be far from the usual ones held by many others. Whether or not those ignorant of history are doomed to repeat it, remains to be seen and is not as yet proven, only surmised,because, while perhaps most things are relative especially those everyone thinks are absolute, when things recur they do not always repeat in exactly the same manner.

THE ARM CHAIR PHILOSOPHER

In this blog I hope to examine a few of my own personal and peculiar notions that some might classify as merely 'intellectual' or of concern to only those who tend to dwell on topics of little interest to the larger mass of humanity,so please bear with me and add your own comments and criticisms as you go along, if you can bear to read any of this. I should be amazed, not just pleasantly pleased, if anyone does.
