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”
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”
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”
I Plead the Fourth
I’m back in sports heaven now that college football games and English Premier League football matches have resumed, so I continue my posting of songs I have recorded and/or written. I will resume writing in the more conventional way after Monday night’s TCU vs North Carolina game. Four straight days of music, this time allContinue reading “I Plead the Fourth”
Always the Last to Know
John Cena had a good run. But like all good things… Now that he is hand-stitching his hair to his scalp, it’s time to call it a day, Champ. He says his body is screaming at him to retire. I hope he listens to it. Every so often Florida screws up and does something right…Continue reading “Always the Last to Know”
