About Me

I am Michael Lockridge, and I love to swing dance. While I don't think winter-time "fresh" fruits from Chile taste the way they should, I do believe blessing my food makes it better for me. I believe in God, in Heaven, and in Hell. I am a chocohaulic...and an optimist. I use the same drinking glass for days at a time. I'm not above using the women's restroom should the men's be too-long occupied. I'm convinced the world will be a better place when public restrooms begin to use soft, 2-ply toilet paper. I think riding a loaded cart thru the parking lot is a serious value-add in the grocery store experience...though I'd rather pay somebody to go shopping for me. Double-Stuff Oreos are superior to most homemade cookies--and my pants fit tighter now than when I bought the package. In pre-school I had 5 cavities all at once. I'm a entrepreneur's coach and a motivational speaker. Things are going so well that I'm considering moving out of my van down by the river. Websites where you can get an idea of what my business are all about are: www.NationalSeminarSupport.com or about me on Facebook, which I check MUCH more frequently than here these days: www.Facebook.com/mplockridge

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

God--but only if he's going to smile at me and say "well done!"

Courage to Be

"If I were fearless, I would put myself at risk more." That was my response when asked a while back. I didn't mean jumping out of airplanes, walking down dark allies, or Russian Roulette when I wrote ...

Character 1, 2, 3

I pursued a new venture and saw a side of the world I'd been ignorant to. It is interesting to reflect as to how my geography mirrored my reality: I spent the week at a beach resort.&nb...

Regression to Adolescence

I feel as though I'm passing through my second adolescence. I'm driving as if I were invincible, I'm blairing the radio so loud down the road it's making my ears ring. I'm mad at everything, and...

Pretty Bird

I got pooped on today. Very discreetly too. I didn't even notice it until I sat in my barber's chair and looked in the mirror. There on my right shoulder a small, almost-solid speck of something that ...

Spirituality, Mortality, Community

Let us praise famous men, and our fathers that begat us. All these men were honored in their generations, and were of glory in their day.   That is the opening line to tonight's movie, ...

Autosexual

Today was a good day. I called a couple friends to celebrate with me, but they were each too busy for my last minute plans. Still, this was a day worthy of celebration, and no party-poo...

Cheap and Easy

I am finding that I like 'em cheap and easy. There is a guy across the street from me who volunteered to help me clean a vacant apartment in the complex I live in/manage. VERY generous of him, and VER...

Heaven tonight

I dream of a land where ice cream melts only in my mouth. I dream of a world where I can sit with my frosty carton of oh-so-cold minty, creamy, goodness--without it doing me like a snowman in the Baha...
