A Little Nonsense Now and Then

For lack of anything of substance to write about, I will roll out the mental tape projector to tell some old stories of mine. I will weave some golden tales purely for fun. The masses must be amused at all costs and the reader can glean from it whatever he may. It’s a win-win, right? […]

A Blue Christmas

I don’t want harp on the same string over and over but for once, I really can’t help it. With all that is going on in the world today, I find my spirit broken. You might as well dedicate that stupid Mister Mister song, Broken Wings, to me. I always thought they sucked the big […]

The Best Medicine

In an attempt to lighten the mood a bit and not think about this grim world, let’s talk about laughter. It may be too soon for some after tragedy but, in my humble opinion, the world needs a big dose of comic relief. Well, at least mine does. Laughter is what keeps me sane. Really […]

Beyond My Scope

I feel like the Grinch and wish I could cancel Christmas altogether this year. Knowing that my Christmas tree is still downstairs and not even put in the stand yet makes me feel like I am very behind, I most definitely am. Too many forces have been against me lately but when I think about […]

Heavy Hearts

With a very heavy heart today, I could not help but constantly think of those parents who’s children where the victims of senseless violence yesterday.

My Powers are Weak

You know those days where you feel so beaten down with no hopes of getting back up? I do. It’s not the best feeling. The weight of the world can really crush one’s spirit can’t it? I am so weary and drained these days. I have a strange tiredness that I can’t seem to shake. […]

What a Hack

As an artist, I work very hard to create something uniquely my own, the thought of someone outright ripping it off would be totally offensive and just plain wrong. It’s also thievery, plain & simple. I would like to point out that plagiarism is never a good idea, never on God’s green earth. My blog […]

Tangled Web

For me and my friends, growing up in the 70′s and 80′s meant limited technology – no internetzzz, no cell phones, no computers for the masses. Well, if you were wealthy you had a car phone, and a very primitive computer with very limited capability. Most of us did not fall into that category. At […]

Footprints

Some people are permanent fixtures in our lives and some are just there briefly. The ones that were there just for a while still leave their mark in some way or another. One particular instance stands out for me. Years ago, back in the mid 90′s, I was still in college and living with a […]
