Welcome to my blog. It's a hotch-potch of bits and bobs, some of which are reviews; others of which are political stories, poems, original ideas and other random pieces - I must stress that there isn't a theme to my blog. I try to write with conviction - insofar as my weak sense of conviction allows. I try to promote reason, in general, through discussions on religion and such things as environmentalism. I promote atheism and a healthy skepticism. I hope you enjoy what you read; please comment.

Let the good times roll....
The phrase let the good times roll seems to me to exist only because the good times have their ups and downs - their peaks and troughs. Why not let the good times flow...? That sounds like a much better metaphor to me.

Obviously you don't understand the logic that exists behind idioms. Rolling was fun as a child and implies a dizzying motion that evokes euphoria. Thus, enjoy these emotions, is what it's trying to say.
