Returning to the Write Path: Why I’m Blogging Again
I haven’t written a blog since February 2024. In a way, it has been very satisfying not to write anything in blog form. I did write. I always write. I even published a book last year, Stories in My Scars: Poems. That was an awesome experience from start to finish! I self-published that book and…

IDCAYG (poetry)
Boom! Atomic babies!“Stop acting like a baby!I’ll give you something to cry about.WHAT, YOU DIDN’T HEAR ME SHOUT?!I don’t care if there’s no daylight.And that’s no way to hold a flashlight!”Values of hard work and respect.Make sure you’re in line and correct.Soft kids make soft adults.Unsettled trauma is the kids’ fault. X marks the spot,but…

No way, man. I’m onto other things, greater things. Brand new mindset flipped upside down. Stranger things. Anger seems to…

Wait for the Dust to Settle (blog)
Storytime! I check the photo I just took before putting my phone away. “Nah,” I say, and I delete the photo. (Crazy how we just delete photos and the moment is gone as quick as it was captured, right?) I snap another photo and make sure that my stupid finger isn’t in the photo. It…

Play Offense (blog)
Basketball is my favorite sport. I played the sport for 7 years, starting early on and playing through my senior year in high school. My coaches ran a tight ship, they did. No mistakes were allowed. God forbid we turned the ball over or missed a free throw. “Free throws win games.” “No one should…

Smoke and Mirrors (blog)
Back in the day illusionists would use smoke and mirrors to give the illusion of something extraordinary happening, such as conjuring up an entity from the spiritual world. The use of smoke and mirrors would ultimately blind the audience from what the illusionist was actually doing. It was a tool that distracted the audience, without…
