Eighteen years old and getting ready to attend high school prom. No prom. Shot in the back. Dead. The kids who were with him said that they were just “playing a prank” in an attempt to get some views on TikTok. Oh, I get it. Haha. Details. Yes, by all means, DO sweat the smallContinue reading “I Don’t Get It”

My Book in Audio
A couple years ago I wrote this book whilst sitting around, getting stoned, and reminiscing about this wild ride I have been on since the year 1954. I have always enjoyed short and powerful as opposed to long and flowery, although in good writing, there is room for every genre. So what I did wasContinue reading “My Book in Audio”
The Lowdown
Sixteen years old and his life is over… Desmond Holly shot and wounded two students at his high school in Evergreen, Colorado before turning the gun on himself, ending his life and continuing the “tradition” of school shootings, the thirteenth going back to Columbine in 1999. Money scandals in high school athletics were nonexistent (orContinue reading “The Lowdown”
All the Same to Me
How’s that expression go about poking a bear? The official Black Lives Matter Instagram account has posted a video clip that appears to propose violence as a solution in response to the recent murder of a pizza worker in Charlotte, North Carolina. And she’s not even black. Do you think that wild animals being heldContinue reading “All the Same to Me”
Afterthoughts II
Our high schoolers are continuing the slide down the educational ladder, as their scores drop to a new low. Who needs silly old education anyway? People keep reporting Trump is dead, but really, he just looks that way. Newsweek is reporting Gen Z is experiencing “a drop in life satisfaction.” Darn. I was hoping toContinue reading “Afterthoughts II”
Warning Signs
California has issued a warning to people to “stay out of the water” due to tides and dangerous rip currents. But if they are still alive, I would bet that a few of my old surf buddies are paddling out as we speak… That’s like driving all the way to Wally World only to findContinue reading “Warning Signs”
The Criminal Mindset
I have it. But to quote Tricky Dick: “I am not a crook!” (you know you put up two “peace” signs and said it like him). I am guilty of wanting the flash before substance, but I draw the line which is what real criminals don’t do. The quick buck. So risky, yet wrong onContinue reading “The Criminal Mindset”
I Told You So
I almost hate being right all of the time. Almost. Mighty Harvard, those wacky Crimson, cost themselves hundreds of millions of dollars in government grants by having the unmitigated gall to stand up for equality, free speech, the Constitution, and other silly passe concepts. The message they have sent across the nation and the entireContinue reading “I Told You So”
Documentaries
I started about a year or so ago when they were going through the writer’s strike in Hollywood. If you never believed in the power of the written word, never was its absence more felt than in the film industry. Not as easy as you thought? Just get a couple stars, some cool cars, explosions,Continue reading “Documentaries”
Take it or Leave It
Our country, like many others on this planet, is having some problems, you might say. Unemployment, high interest rates, high poverty and homelessness, crooked political “leadership,” and a non-existent impartial Supreme Court. But fear not. Now, this administration is going at the root evil of EVERYTHING that is wrong in this country…….the design of gasContinue reading “Take it or Leave It”
