The coming breaking away.

Donald Trump is no longer a person to me. He hasn’t been a person to democrats for years. To them he is 1984’s Goldstein. To me he is a line in the sand. He is the evidence of a swamp drained, exposing all the vile and evil within. This evidence must be destroyed and an…

Things I Envy The Youth Of.

They get to listen to the greatest music of the 70’s all at once. I had to wait. Month after month, year after year for ten years, and listen to dozens of very bad songs just to get to hear that wonderful masterpiece that todays youth can just ask Siri to play over and over.…

Forgotten Memories.

I wanted it so badly. I’m guessing I was in the sixth grade. It could have been the seventh but I’m pretty sure it was the sixth. Living on a farm in central Kentucky and drowning in the feeling of isolation from the rest of the world, my imagination and black and white television offered…

Things To Ponder Over.

Minute by minute and step after step, with no focus or persuasion, where we found ourselves seemed quite natural from the inside looking out of the cesspool we could no longer smell.

Here I sit, with myself and ponder things with no answer. Those much smarter than I will ever be have these things on their mind, and have no answer. But there ought to be a striving, and an attempt to move beyond shallow thought. Even though this is where most of us dwell, there are…

Ian.

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven. Ecclesiastes 3:1 There is a time for all things. Days and even hours before Ian, there was a time for preparation. A time for arrogance. Of making light of something we know will be bad, but for someone else,…

My First Hurricane

It's Friday when I first wake up to the news. I suppose that people paying attention knew Thursday, but after two-weeks of nothing but bad news in every direction, I took a day off and just unplugged. So, Friday I slept in, started my coffee, and turned on the local news, only to find that…
