  • New Meanings?

    I haven’t watched SNL in over a decade.  I love to laugh, but that show hasn’t made me laugh in a very long time.  A friend showed me a skit the other day.  It was very funny, but for a odd reason.  It brought up multiple conversations about this topic.  Back when we were kids,…

  • A Rare Poem

    I do not usually write poems.  This poem is about a couple that hasn’t been together very long, but they are dealing with the seriousness of past dramatic events.  This deals with a certain topic, but the point of this poem is that when one person struggles, the other is there to help the other…

  • Fate?

    I am not a firm believer in fate, but I am a firm believer in that things happen for a reason.  For example, people can come into our lives because they need help, or we need help.  Karma might come back and dry fuck us in the ass because we deserved it.  You know, sometimes…

  • What We Are Here For

    At some point in our lives, we question why we are here.  Are we here specifically to worship a god?  Are we here to just procreate and keep our species going?  Is there even a reason we exist?  I know I am not the only one who has asked these questions.  Here is a question:…

  • Inspiration

    I do not think of myself as an artist.  I am not very fond of the stereotype that is an artist.  I suck at drawing, but I have written songs and books, so I guess my paintbrush is a pen or a keyboard.  In any case, good ideas are hard to come by and even…

  • Walls

    We take walls for granted.  Wall separate the area you sleep in from the area you shit in.  Walls were erected throughout history to keep foreign invaders out of a kingdom.  Walls make sense.  We also build up metaphorical walls around us so we do not get hurt.  Often after a painful event, we build…

  • Responsibility and Others

    I read an article that a robbery suspect might be suing the good Samaritan who subdued him during a robbery for “excessive force.”  Excuse me?  The guy tried to rob a Starbucks with a knife, and when a hero tried stopping him, the hero was stabbed in the neck before stabbing the suspect a couple…

  • Simple Pleasures

    Time is limited.  We all know this.  We all wish we had more time.  Time to sleep.  Time to play.  Time to get shit done at work.  Then, there are those moments that we never want to end.  We want time to stop, cherishing a moment forever.  Those are rare.  There is nothing like feeling…

  • Did I Make You Cry?

    I am sorry.  Did something I say make you cry?  Why?  Why do you need to cry over something I said?  I didn’t hit you, stab you in the kidney, or fuck your mom.  Are you that big a sissy-ass?  Growing up, I was picked on, teased, and made fun of.  It toughened me up. …

  • Equal Rights

    In this country, we are all born with equal rights.  It does not matter who you parents are or what they do.  After birth, all of the decisions we make in life effect how our life ends up.  Our parents’ decisions only effect how our life ends up to a certain point.  If we kill…
