The Letter “X”

We arrrive at the letter X in my audio attempt of my book EMOTIONS: Not your Mama’s ABC’s! and the emotion I chose was xenophobic and I titled the short-short story Incredulity. Hope you like it.

If This Don’t Beat All

Some douchebag gets in his car and mows down 23 people in East Hollywood, CA. When things like this happen, I always wonder what reason could they possibly have to commit such a crime? At least he has a good reason this time. He got thrown out of a club, got his ass whipped, andContinue reading “If This Don’t Beat All”

Stay With Me

The tiny monarchy of Sweida, formerly known as Swaziland, is located near the southern Syrian border. Not your typical garden spot and not only that, but reports describe “extrajudicial killings, torture, abductions, and looting—pointing to a broader pattern of targeted abuses.” Perfect. Now we know where we can reach our next batch of deportees. HeContinue reading “Stay With Me”

The Latest Buzz

That bald little lawn gnome Vladimir Putin keeps making the president mad, and every time he does, off goes another shipment of weapons and other objects of death to Ukraine, so I might just be an old country boy, but I think Putin was incorrect saying Russia would end the war “in three weeks.” Don’tContinue reading “The Latest Buzz”

All Hands on Deck

The owner of a restaurant is being forced to pay over three million dollars to a Sous Chef for the torment and physical abuse he suffered under the restaurant’s Executive Chef for two and a half years. Although I was fortunate enough to work for owners with very deep pockets, I would never put atContinue reading “All Hands on Deck”

Stealing

There are all sorts of crimes and taking something that is not yours is the absolute lowest. I have more respect for a murderer than a thief. Now before you get all puffed up and froggy, I recognize the difference between ill-gotten gain and a necessity to survive for those desperate enough to try andContinue reading “Stealing”

Never Ever Ever Apologize!

Unless you screw something up and you have to. Israel isn’t apologizing for anything After all, it wasn’t their citizens hang gliding down on a group of all those innocent, honest Hamas people we hear so much about, shooting automatic rifles indiscriminately. And the definition of insanity? History has provided you with the 6-day War,Continue reading “Never Ever Ever Apologize!”

How Stupid Was I?

Oh boy, where do you start? Selfish more than anything. I always made sure my dog and I always had the best food, liquor, and drugs and we always had a nice place to stay. And did we meet some interesting people. But I only ever got close to one girl I met on theContinue reading “How Stupid Was I?”

It’s Better to Burn Out…

Sing it Neil. I’m approaching having spent seven full decades of time on this planet, so it seems like every couple of years one of my life influences/heroes are leaving this sphere of existence. It used to be every decade or so, but lately that time gap is shortening. The more things change… Another MiddleContinue reading “It’s Better to Burn Out…”

Still Not Ready

I predicted it before the misguided advertising campaign of Anheuser-Busch which has led to the death of Bud Light. In the haste to be open, inclusive, and in an effort to improve the species, SOME true believers are swaying others with much less conviction, to confront, and more importantly, accept concepts they do not completelyContinue reading “Still Not Ready”
