If All Else Fails, Be Kind

I’ve learned something over the last few months, and that is that people can be good. It’s much easier to see differences; political, religious, ideological, social, and just automatically build a protective shell between you and them. I’ve done it. It’s natural to protect yourself from those you view as the “enemy”. Some folks can […]

Please Don’t Ask

I’m sitting here feeling a bit under the weather. Spinning some Genesis to help with the healing process. It seems the multitudes of viruses, bugs, and general disease that have made their way through my home the last three months that failed to make their mark on me have, indeed, finally made their mark.

Into The Void

Well, here we are. The marks bought it. The rubes bellied up at the bar, drank their spirits, and now it’s time to pay the barkeep. The deal has been signed with our nation’s white collar Beelzebub. The collective white males of America have signed in blood on the dotted line with the man in […]

“I support the left, though I’m leaning to the right…”

After hearing about Senator Ted Cruz’ shenanigans the other night on the Senate floor I felt Cream’s “Politition” was in order for this evening. Lucky for me the entire album Wheels of Fire is phenomenal, so it’s a win-win. One of my lucky grabs at Sunday’s record show, Wheels of Fire has been one of […]
