These three little words have spelled death for yet another victim, this time an eighteen year-old high school kid celebrating his graduation by taking someone up on a dare and jumping into the dark, shark-infested waters of the Bahamas. Dead. His whole life ahead of him (anyone who is not dead has their whole lifeContinue reading “I Dare You”

Afraid Not
This is a story I wrote based on childhood memories: Amazon Our guide was Tom Blevins, an absolute rock of a man. Forty years old, but his body looked more like it belonged to a man half his age. Not an ounce of visible body fat with huge, muscular arms and a khaki shirt thatContinue reading “Afraid Not”
The Language of Love
Parlez-vous? Nope, not French. German? Too much spitting going on. Italian? My Italian is a little rusty, but it is good enough to know that Papadia translates to day-old pizza, folded in half, and resold in a vain effort to squeeze one more cent or two of profit in a business that has a higherContinue reading “The Language of Love”
Pardon Me
I don’t feel brokenhearted about the parents who were upset their kids were turned away from graduation. These aren’t even high schoolers we’re talking about. In this life, you have TWO graduations that actually mean anything; first, your high school graduation for completing twelve years of education, and then your college graduation for your advancedContinue reading “Pardon Me”
Good Things Come…
…to those that wait. One year away from international competition seemed like forever for the world’s most prestigious football club and we are now back in Champion’s League play where we belong. I take everything back that I said about Erik Ten Hag. He isn’t a bald little faggot, he isn’t a doddering asshole, heContinue reading “Good Things Come…”
And You Wonder Why…
They keep doing dumb shit in Texas; they have become a punchline for police inaction and cowardice, the political leaders can do no right when it comes to abortion, and they had to postpone a high school graduation because there were not enough students that qualified to get their diplomas. So, as the old dumbassesContinue reading “And You Wonder Why…”
Can We Be Perfectly Honest?
Even in retirement, with no daily routine or agenda to adhere to, would I devote even one microsecond of thought to the condition of Jeff Bridges’ cancerous tumor. No pictures needed, thank you. Those are the same people that take and send pictures of the food they eat. Reality alert. Nobody cares. A couple ofContinue reading “Can We Be Perfectly Honest?”
I’m Shaking My Head
When I think of the state of education in this country. Critical thought is dying, replaced with the ramblings of frightened white people who want to shape the future for young students. Nope, no such thing as slavery. Never happened. God? Never happened. You can deny all you want, you can further propagate the liesContinue reading “I’m Shaking My Head”
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”
