Why Bother?

All the time and money being wasted in a fruitless effort to keep fucking with that bloviating gasbag Trump. You know nothing will come of it. NOT because he is innocent, hell no. Because he has spent years building his paper kingdom, and it is stacked with his remaining psycophants who were not born withContinue reading “Why Bother?”

Don’t Ya Just Hate it When…

People use their “platform” to shove their beliefs, be they from the religious, business, or political arena, IN YOUR FACE? Ben and Jerry shut the fuck up about politics. You are ice cream makers. Why do people feel cheated if you merely listen to whatever horseshit viewpoint they have? What? You don’t AGREE with me?Continue reading “Don’t Ya Just Hate it When…”

Perfection I Say

It was starting to turn cold, as was Her wont in late fall in the High Sierras. The crisp wind startled Henry; more like a light slap in the face as snow bid its time and perched on the higher elevations. Just waiting. Henry Davis was a criminal; it was no secret, nor did heContinue reading “Perfection I Say”

Second Chances

Not everybody deserves them. Murderers should die the same way they killed. Thieves should have to pay back ten times what they stole at whatever rate they pay working prisoners per license plate, or whatever. If it starts to take ten years prison time to start paying back small fines, criminals may think twice. NoContinue reading “Second Chances”

Careful What You Ask For

All I have heard now for months on end, as if it is some sort of magic cure for everything, is wait until the Republicans win the House, then you’ll see… See what? You can’t even decide on who the next Speaker of the House will be. I gotta be honest with you. Unless thereContinue reading “Careful What You Ask For”

Substitutions

In my life I substituted lies for truth. I replaced long-term meaningful relationships with loyal, loving women with meaningless one-night stands with faceless strangers. I replaced trust and safety with irresponsibility and total lack of reason. But I always knew better. And that, I believe, frustrated my parents most of all. There’s a line inContinue reading “Substitutions”

The Word Unspoken…

Is the word uneaten. My big brother taught me that at the tender age of 8. I have always spoken with grace and intellect, and others immediately gravitated towards me because I was confident and loquacious. Especially the shy kids. I don’t sugarcoat the fact that I was very much insulated to the whole ethnicityContinue reading “The Word Unspoken…”

The Star Spangled Banner

Just sing the damn song. Don’t “stylize” it. Don’t “interpret it.” Don’t change it. Don’t try to make it yours. It’s not yours. It’s ours. Quit turning the word “brave” into an eight syllable song all its own. It’s one. Sing it like you did in elementary school. It was good enough then, and it’sContinue reading “The Star Spangled Banner”

Stay With Me Now

No question that I am, and always have been a big dog lover starting with our family pets to our two Cocker Spaniel brothers tearing through the house tonight. I am seeing far too many stories of children and adults being killed by dogs. Before I go any further in my own thought process, IContinue reading “Stay With Me Now”
