“It is what it is.” Don’t you hate it when people say that? As if we have no control whatsoever over what’s going on. Well, tonight, I daresay, that cliche will be all we have to turn to once the results of this election have been determined. My only hope is that the majority of … More The World Will Change Tomorrow – Or it Won’t
Life can seem like many different things at various points throughout our journey. Oftentimes we view it as a randomized collection of chaotic events over which we have little to no control. Other times, when things seem to be going our way, life appears to be a beast that we have worked hard to tame; … More Choices
I’ll never understand why life’s twisted sense of humor dealt me the hand I hold, but for whatever reason it blessed (more like cursed) me with an irritatingly restless mind that drives even me insane. Despite being assured by others that the ability to think is a positive trait, I often find myself envying the … More My Love of Writing & How it’s Changed My Life
I’ve always heard that it’s the quiet ones you need to look out for. You know the type – those soft-spoken, mysterious ones who are tough to get a read on. That sly snake in the grass that no one sees coming. Widely known as individuals of few words, it makes their voice seem all … More My Good Friend Johnny The Slick-Handed: A True Tale of Inebriated Halloween Hilarity
One day, the millennial generation will inherit the planet. If we take a step back and look at the world in a high level view, there are some things that become clear. There seems to be a generational disconnect on how things should work. Almost like the old, and the new. It’s like the world … More The Next America
There have been a lot of things in the past few years that have significantly impacted my life. Like, big things. Moving back to Nashville from West Virginia was one. Deciding to pursue writing was another. Breakups. Mom passing, obviously, was yet another. As I look back, all of these things have resulted in substantial … More Your Life, as a Book
I’m going to keep this short. It’s no secret that this political season has gotten people riled up. Everywhere we turn we see partisan this, negative that, she did this, he said that, and so on. And to a certain extent, it’s warranted. Americans feel cheated by the conditions they’ve been forced to live under, … More Unity
There’s a very particular reason my dog is the featured image of this post: he’s never, ever let me down. Being let down is probably one of the worst feelings in the human condition. There’s just something about it that cuts deep into our psyche when someone we thought was in our corner turns their … More Loyalty
Its no secret that humanity is going through one of its tensest periods in our short history on this planet. Class warfare, social control, and behind the scenes manipulation has dominated the population for as long as we can look back. The individuals who had the ability to think openly, see the world as a … More The Real Revolution: the War We Don’t Know We’re Fighting
I feel compelled to write this after zipping through my news feeds and reading the persistently biased headlines of our lovely mainstream media. Human beings are just that – they are human beings. Regardless of your opinion (which, ironically, is usually formulated based upon third party reporting without any first hand interaction whatsoever), people generally … More Human Beings are Not One Dimensional
