Random Awesomeness

Announcements, rants, affirmations and all else that doesn’t quite fit into the other categories are posted here. From poetry that probably won’t be made into a song, to in-the-moment expressions of thoughts and feelings that probably won’t make it into a story. I will share here, whatever comes to mind and heart. Occasionally, I also may take creative writing pieces from my past, revise and revive them to post here.

8/14/18: Naked Logic

While preachers preach of evil fates Teachers teach that knowledge waits Can lead to hundred-dollar plates Goodness hides behind it's gates But even the president of the United States Sometimes must have to stand naked ------ Bob Dylan ------------------------------------------------- "Take your clothes off." "Excuse me?" "I'm naked." "I can see that. So what?" "So take [...]

8/2/18: Sure, Not

I know we've come a long way We're changing day to day But tell me, where do the children play? ------ Cat Stevens No answers, only questions. More and more questions. Certainty is now the enemy, and truth (or even speculation) becomes a political position. Thus all ideas fail to fully come to market, mincing [...]

7/16/18: A Right to Privacy.

As an artist, I am moved to express what I feel inside. As a human being, I am asked to honor my connection to others. As a member of a society, I am told to be aware of difference. As an individual among many... I am. --------------------- I am contemplating all that has happened recently. [...]

7/7/18: My Net Neutrality

Ever since I started this blog my dear reader, (October 8th, 2017)... I've been a bit conflicted about how I want to use the other aspects of my so-called "internet presence". I hadn't really thought about it much, before now. Since the early days, I've been just doing whatever came to mind. I'd occasionally get [...]

6/28/18 On Relationship (Part one, Online #$%#@!&… )

My therapist recently asked me what a healthy relationship would look like in my eyes. Ha! Do I have a frame of reference? How would I know what one of these things looked like if I've never HAD one? Very soon, I'll be coming to the end of a very disappointing year of paying for [...]

6/27/18: The Morning Practice (The Other, This… That!)

That this is the other thing. This that is all there is. Is THAT all there is? ------ So, my dear reader (you still there?) as of yesterday's post, I am now done with what I've been writing under the working title of... Predators and Scammers and now, it's time for the editing. YEA! Please [...]

5/4/18: Obeisant Anesthetic

I love the movies. Movies are of this world and yet I become immersed in another. An other, entirely created world. Bound only by imagination, movies take me where I had no idea. I had no idea I could go. There. Anything can be shown in movies now. The impossible is made to look real. [...]

5/2/18: Owning My Own Mess

At this point in my little writing project here. Here in this blog. This blog with the purpose of writing memoir... I'm feeling a need to say something about my whole, "I'm the good boy/man" theme/meme. I honestly do see myself as the kind of person who wants to do right, or at the very [...]
