This is something I learned after 10 years in the fine art business: I (and everyone I know) can’t understand the minds of billionaires. The front of the house is breathtaking, the car in the driveway is spotless, and their art collection made me envious. That’s on the surface. Beneath the top layer resides the…

Im sitting at a Dallas suburb McDonalds with 3 grandsons. Some pissy Boomer got offended by my “Read Banned Books” shirt, but his phone rang before I could engage in his argument. Someone called to inform his Trumpy ass that tariffs were hurting his businesses. I know this, because he’s one of those men who…

I’m trying to get everyone in the condo complex to have Sunday night pow wow before the work week. I’m pseudo-successful in my attempts. They look at me like scared animals determining if it’s free food or a trap of some sort. It’s a way to share stuff, build community, what have you, without a…

I live in Texas and, although I’m unaware of the specifics, I’m heartbroken for the families of the flood victims down south of me. Many of them were elementary school aged girls attending summer camp. I can’t imagine the pain those parents are going through. Trippy thought. Climate change was/is a gradual thing that passed…

I’m having serious moral dilemmas playing Skyrim. Going into people’s houses. Stealing things. Taking things off of dead folk. What is wrong with you people?

I’m really trying my best to lay off the majority of the personal stuff when it comes to my blog. I’ll save that stuff for published pieces. Still, there’s always that one person you run into to set the mood. A random, loud dude rolled up on me in a coffee shop with an obvious…

Checked in and checked out. Riverside in a strange city. Luminous pauses, shadow to shadow like a belt-fearing teen. The experiment yields results. The more I know, the less I fear. Amnesia’s today’s special at the Pain Cafe. The numbers appeared infinite until they didn’t. Cut short, cheated, and flat-out lied to. The Old Empire…

I just put the finishing touches on the first chapter of the second draft of my first sci-fi novel. I’ve been working on this off and on for two years. I don’t have a title. I haven’t felt this way about a project since starting A Taste of Home back in 2008. My wife says…

Where were you when it started? And where will you be in the end? Not asking for proof of a heaven or hell Not breaking a rule; maybe bend Rich men with their foolish endeavors Breathe fire like dragons of lore A family or two is a small price to pay When making a few…

I drove to the store in silence this morning; no music. I just wanted to listen to the world. It’s burning, and we don’t know how to stop it. Kind of like trying to make the right decision at the corner of Zang & Beckley. This is what fleas must feel like on bath day.…

Not that I really care; I’m just putting this information out into the universe in case anyone wants to look into it for themselves. Chances are, if they’re doing it to me, then they’re doing it to some of you as well. You just didn’t know it yet. First off: my background. I am a…

Shot myself in the foot this morning and got off to a bad start. Still trying to shake it. Here is me “trying”.

Settled. Like they wanted. Ask and you shall receive. Mold our attention spans into spent chewing gum and play the long game. Two weeks of protests; squirrel. At least I was a part of something peaceful for once. Probably the last peaceful confrontation I’ll ever know. I remember one of the happiest times I’d have…

You can literally see the “blaze of glory” moment! This moment was brought to you by… Exginguished! “Someone call DC and tell them this is how you write a female hero character!” – Lisa Lee Tone, Bibliophelia Templum Angel Burns is a young firefighter with a shrouded history. During a routine night at work, she…

Routine, but is it? My mind races the fan in a twirling contest. I’m getting to the point where I can almost keep up. If I look out my window, I can almost see the flames. Metaphorically speaking, of course. There are no fires in Dallas yet and violence has been minimal. Still, when the…

Rain in Dallas. Wash away the pepper spray for another day. I haven’t watched any news yet to see what fascism did overnight. Something tells me I’ve seen it all before. Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, and Harry Potter prepared us for this, yet most find comfort with the Death Eaters. They’ll buckle, same…

After a five year pandemic delay and a complete recasting, filming for my first movie takes place between October 22nd and 26th! Also, as a 51 year old disabled veteran, have you seen how fat and out of shape the California National Guard are? I see a little Latino girl bringing them water. Now an…

That book you read about the vampire isn’t real. That book you read about the ghost isn’t real. That book you read about the werewolf isn’t real That book about the man in the clouds who watches you when you poop, screw, and live your day to day life; that one’s real. Also, if you…

If Russia is at war with Ukraine, India is at war with Pakistan, Israel is at war with Gaza, Hamas, or anyone else who doesn’t kneel before Zod on command, and America is at war with itself, doesn’t this qualify as World War III? Who has the checklist? Do I really have to be the…

All my life, I’ve heard the ridiculous statement, “It’s the quiet one’s you’ve got to watch.” The comedic genius George Carlin claimed that a noisy person will kill you while you’re watching the quiet one. He said all of this out loud several times in the last decade. The president, I mean. Decade. Did you…

I’m sick of racism and hate. I’m sick of being sick. Period. How many deep breaths do we have to take? How many “take a step back’s” until we tumble blindly from the cliff we never saw coming? They have shown us time and again they’re not afraid to take up arms and do the…
