Arctic Void of Possibilities

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ Staring at the interminable void and putting down thoughts. The white space on my computer screen is alluring and intimidating.

Prehistoric Stupidity

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ Prehistoric stupidity. How dumb are humans? Intelligence fluctuates between soap dish skum and toe nail clippings.

Subway Sadness

Grocery Shopping Deja Vu

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ The bag boy’s overwhelming needs to question my grocery etiquette. “You want your milk in a bag sir?” I stare at him. He’s a punk ass kid with pimples and bad breath. He wears a smock for a living. His collar is stained with his own neck […]

The Most Disgusting Sport in the world.

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ The Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest. Is it America? Is it tradition? It sure is disgusting.

The boy turned soldier turned man

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ The young boy who became a soldier and a man. I’m watching this baby soldier stand tall and proud at the front of the cathedral. It’s an open air pavilion, the wall is the sky. The alter is the sun. The angels are dancing on a cloud […]

1-800 Call Bill

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy?™ College Saturdays. I’m sitting in the backyard. I have the windows open and I’m listening to the Auburn vs Clemson game. The announcers are hyped.

4th of July 2015

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy.™ 4th of July commercialism. The Fourth is America’s birthday. It’s about patriotism and pie. It’s about founding fathers and fire works. It’s about Independence and Hot Dog eating contests. The 4th of July is sparklers and the beach and bar b que with all the fixings. […]

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ The coffee break. I’m sitting outside on the patio sipping a double frappe whoopee semi mocha full choco nutty buddy latte.

Shot 11 times

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ Getting shot 11 times and living. I stub my toe and think the world is coming to an end. This victim? Well he defies all logic. I am sitting in a small room just off the solarium on the 6th floor of the hospital. The roof […]
