    On eternal edge, a final stand Will you seize your moment by the hand? Will you take a look before you leap? Are fears within what you shall keep? Will you spread your wings and try to fly? Will your dreams all wither, waste and die? Are you afraid of meeting earth? Only you know…

    Photo by Ryoji Iwata on Unsplash Once these streets were full of life Long before the pain and strife The stories that this pavement told They now lay empty, barren, cold And now I drive amidst the rust A monument ensconced in dust I move along, I must take care Although unseen, the eyes are…

    It bothers me. It bothers me to the point that I barely had the mojo to make a picture showing how much it bothers me. But I did. 😋 Have a great day, everyone! 😎

    Ever had one of those days? Yeah, you know the ones. The ones where every little thing just pisses you off to the point that you want to put your head through a wall, or your boot in someone’s ass? Or, hell…Maybe both? 😄 And then, to really add salt to the wound, the more…

    Once, I was an evil man. I lied, I stole and I killed. Rattlesnake Martin. I was his right hand. Rode together since we were boys. Together ’til the end. The end came when I least suspected. He got greedy. I got dead. As I drew my last breath, I saw the bullets, They cut…

    As we charge up ragged hill Within my veins I feel the thrill Of combat close, a burning need On flesh and bone my blade must feed It’s thirst be quenched with blood like wine A sacrifice to gods divine No shield shall hold my sword at bay The Gods of Steel shall smile today…

    Strategy? Are we storming a beach? The Bastille, maybe? I don’t know that I have any “strategies” per se. Drawing up a battle plan to be comfortable seems counterintuitive to me, really. I guess the closest I come is getting the Kuerig ready to fire up a cup of coffee right after I wake up.…
