Never underestimate the power of belief. Belief can overcome a lot of things. It can overpower strength. It can outrun speed. It can outperform talent. In the micro it is but a flash in the thought process, but in the macro, it divides, conquers, and kills. Religions are based on belief. Governments are based onContinue reading “Belief”

Why Bother?
It looks like the First Lady is not quite the popular draw she thought she’d be after releasing her self-titled 75-million-dollar-box-office BOMB. It doesn’t help that she has the personality of a grapefruit. But she does have six-inch stilettos. This is rich. The president is blaming his recent dip in popularity in polls on “badContinue reading “Why Bother?”
Don’t Be a Buzzkill
Great, we can now see crystal-clear images of the icy mountains on Mars. Who gives a rat’s ass? So where is Malaysian airliner MH370? Or the two-hundred-thirty-nine souls on board? So, if all the billionaires in the world are building doomsday survival shelters, what if the Big One actually happens and the only survivors areContinue reading “Don’t Be a Buzzkill”
Keep it Coming
A Physician’s Assistant in Atlanta was asked to leave a women’s basketball game and she refused. That could have been the end of a very short story until… The woman (dumbass) refuses to leave the premises until police are called in for criminal trespass. She offers her captors a bribe. She increases the offer. TheyContinue reading “Keep it Coming”
If I’ve Told You Once…
Hey Meta! Hey dumbass! STFU and quit having an artificial entity run your life. Think for yourself! It’s tough enough living in America today, but can you imagine how nice it must be to be an American citizen in Venezuela right now? Talk about persona non grata. The whole transgenders-in-sports debate is back in theContinue reading “If I’ve Told You Once…”
Playoffs?
Playoffs?! Playoffs?! Playoffs?!!! Yes, they are inching closer… Excruciatingly slow for college football fans and even more slowly if your team or teams is/are still in contention for one of the coveted 12 available spots. There are very few certainties anymore in the college football world where champions are bought and sold like prized cattleContinue reading “Playoffs?”
The Letter “Z”
Finishing with audio segments of my book EMOTIONS: Not your Mama’s ABC’s! We come to the letter Z. I chose the emotion zealous to be highlighted by my short-short story titled Halftime. Hope you like it. If you missed any of the posts, I think they are still on this site archived somewhere. Again, IContinue reading “The Letter “Z””
Funny Bone
Why all the hate between late-night talk show hosts and the president and his policies and tactics? It used to be, not that long ago, that comics joked and made wisecracks, we laughed, thought how clever, and moved on. What happened to that? These are just highly paid entertainers that started amusing us starting inContinue reading “Funny Bone”
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”
Like I Never Left
Back to viewing the world through my highly-distorted lens macabre. Man, what a world we live in. And nobody makes it out alive… Watching the great tennis on display at the U.S. Open is one of my favorite sporting events of the year. In the heat of battle, after losing to fleshy American Taylor Townsend,Continue reading “Like I Never Left”
