Totally Random and Unplanned
This post, much like life, is, as the title suggests, totally random and unplanned. I have no desire to share specifics, so I will just say that I got some family news today that, while not fully shocking, was still not something I truly expected to hear. It’s not my immediate cross to bear, but…

Dear G-Man,
Dear G-Man, You’re 100 years old now. I bet you’re the sexiest son-of-a-bitch in the nursing home. How old were you when Laura finally got sick of your shit and tossed your ass in that prison cell? You always were a pain in the ass. Did the kid disown you too, or did she actually…

I Rise, You Fall
Amongst the ash and rubble I lay In pain Broken Defeated The metallic tang Of blood in my mouth Choking on the bile Of my own failure But still I breathe But still I hate I swear an oath Vengeance Retribution Those who broke me Now They shall be broken My hammer The leather of…

Just Another Stone In The Road
I love when WP lobs me a softball Makes it really easy. 😄 I only have to go back a little over a year to when I lost my job. Everything was going along perfectly fine, and then some mistakes were made, and next thing you know, bam! I was out on my ass. What…

Why So Serious?
Hope everyone’s been doing well and having a great week thus far. I haven’t been posting much other than poems and some pics lately, so I figured I’d take a break from that for a second and put up a regular, normal day-to-day post. I’ve been going down some slightly darker and weirder pathways with…

Shoe Fly Blues
First, a moment of silence, please. I finally had to pull the trigger and retire my beloved Doc Martens. Farewell, my friend. It was a good run. Yes, I had to put them out to pasture a couple weeks back when I went outside at work and promptly felt the water seeping into my boot.…

Just One?
I did reply to this last year and named just one (very important) gift, but this year, as I sit here preparing to brave the tundra and chip away a ton of pesky ice, I am enjoying a coffee and reflecting on all the gifts I have been fortunate to receive. And yes, fighting the…

What Drives Thee
I was here before the beginning And I will be here far beyond the end For countless millennia, I have watched I have studied, and I have pondered Endlessly, I wonder… What drives thee? In the grand scheme of the cosmos You are but a speck of dust What an insect is to you So…

Sleep!
Since today’s modern world seems to already think we don’t need sleep, I would take the extra time, do a total 180, and actually give sleeping a shot. Just to see what it’s like and all that. Solely for experimental purposes, I assure you. Yeah, yeah, I know. It says if you didn’t need it.…

You can have my toys…
When you pry them from my cold, dead fingers. 😋 I don’t think I’ve ever truly grown up, and I have the sneaking suspicion I never truly will. Nor do I think I want to. The things I’ve enjoyed the most, I have enjoyed since I was a very young lad and I never saw…

There Can Be Only One (Or Two…)
If I was forced to choose only one candy, then it would very likely be Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. Caveat: I much prefer the big cup, trees or eggs, etc. Way more PB than the chintzy regular ones these days! If only they still made them like they did back in the day. Damned Shrinkflation.…

Gimme a break, man
2/7/25: Looking back on this one, and honestly, my take really has not changed much at all. I guess it just goes to show that the more things change, the more they stay the same. 😄 What do I need a break from? Oh, hell… Lots of things. Half-Assed Leaders: Whether we’re talking business, politics…

Day After Day
Well, I think right off the bat, every decent day should start with a cup of java! Maybe even a few…? Let’s be real, kids. One is rarely enough. After, or even during, that, I’d likely be on the computer checking in here and other random sites. A bit of reading, a bit of writing…

So Many Books…
I can’t really use time as an excuse these days, but I’m going to anyhow. 😄 I have a ton of things on deck to read, but I haven’t gotten a start on it yet. Must be too busy blogging and playing with digital pics. 😬 Anyhow, off the top of my dome, I have…

WTF Is Leisure?
Beats the hell outta me, man. I kid, of course. Well, kinda. 😄 Lord knows I have bitched plenty about my current, not so favorable, schedule on these pages. It still wouldn’t be stellar, but it would be a damn sight better if it were daytime hours. Alas, sometimes we gotta do what we gotta…
