Keeping the faith in humanity. It is always easier said than done. If you own a television or have access to the Internet, negativity appears to be around every corner… at your door step… in your living room… eating your food and drinking your liquor. If you have not already given up on people in […]
I was asked recently why I write. My immediate response was because I can’t sing… I mean this sardonic wit isn’t just going to write itself… I get asked the question, in some variation, often and most people are more inquisitive as to why I write so much and so often without apparently getting […]
TRY is a simple word that can take on so many different meanings. For the cynical, “try” symbolizes someone who has not achieved…someone who is declaring what he or she will do, instead of the surety of someone who has already made the commitment to a task. For the more positive and optimistic, “Try” […]
The world is full of some really bitter people. Twitter is not the world but it gives a representative sampling of just how unhappy so many people really are. By my conservative alternative facts, 90% percent of the people on Twitter fall into the mad/sad/bitter category. 1% of Twitter is news. 5% of the […]

Serena Williams is widely considered the greatest female tennis player of all time, with an open era record 23 Grand Slam singles titles. Her older sister Venus has been a force in her own right with […]
I just spoke to someone who is really going through it right now… and for a moment the man who is fairly good at stringing words together was speechless. I write from the top of the dome. Sometimes scathing socio-political commentary at the hypocrisy and injustices that permeate our society. Sometime I attempt humor, because […]
I learn something new every day. Whether it is about myself or just knowledge gained from a subject I knew little to nothing about. I am fascinated about life, both in all that I have learned as well as the marvel of how little I know. These feeling are never overwhelming, in fact the opposite […]
Time is a precious commodity. I could write an entire piece on time from clichés and expressions. Time is promised to know one. Life is short… The list goes on and on, they are all truisms to a certain degree. I am not even sure if I bring something totally new to the discussion related […]
