A Crock of Schmidt

Single-handedly solving nothing

My Life Is A Song #103

March 9, 2018 by acrockofschmidt 2 Comments

Memory is perplexing, and unfair.  I can’t remember the funniest thing my kids did just last week but I can recall countless inane moments from thirty years ago in vivid detail.  I’d much rather have gloriously detailed memories of my children’s lives than the pointless goings-on of a grade five geography class back in 1983, […]

Getting married is kind of a big deal.  Picking a song for that first dance just might be the biggest deal of the aforementioned big deal.  At least it is for the groom who probably has at least some interest in this decision unlike, say, flowers or dresses.  Choosing that perfect song that captures the […]

My Traitorous Mind – A Short Short Story, Thankfully

November 20, 2014 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

Two months ago I provided the world a great pleasure by publishing what is arguably the worst horror story ever written.  It is the worst because it is not very good, of course, but also because it’s not bad enough to be loved for its badness.  It will never become a cult classic or shared […]
