The History of Valentine's Day.
Valentine's Day, a day dedicated to expressing love and affection, has a long and diverse history that spans centuries and has been shaped by various cultural and historical influences. Although the modern celebration is associated with the exchange of cards, flowers, and romantic gestures, the origins of Valentine's Day can be traced back to ancient traditions and Christian history.

Peace has enemies
Even peace has enemies, there are some people out there who definitely don’t like peace, so isn’t it arrogant of you to think you won’t have enemies. I don’t think there is anybody since the history of creation who hasn’t been controversial or can’t be, everybody at some point makes enemies, regardless of your actions or words sometimes. Somewhere, somehow, someone already hates you either because of your ethnicity, race, nationality, religion, skin color or even gender. I am guessing that’s just the beauty and diversity of the human nature, it would have been pretty boring if we all just got along easy-peasy without any problems.

1957
Introduction This is post number 1957. 1957 is the year I was born, and one or two other things happened. I was born in 1957 in Mount Street Hospital Preston, across the street from Preston Catholic College where ten years later I would start my secondary education (I was ten, normally you had to be eleven). I started Primary school at four, my mum Margaret had taught me to read so I was well-prepared for each educational start, but I never got as far as university and in the year 2000, I was told I would never work again because I did not have a degree.

Lie To Me. Issue #2 As It Was. Content Warning.
Ok. I have only ever recounted this story one other time. Whenever asked about this Era of my life from my family and my friends I always keep the details to myself and just stick to the Who/What/When/Why & Where. With this in mind please understand that I will be changing names, dates, and for the sake of keeping this story to a readable length certain event(s) will be shortened or bulleted. I will do my best to answer any questions that may arise. Thank you for reading about the worst experience of my life.

What you are up against
I think it will come as no surprise for me to say that the world is evil and corrupt. It doesn’t take much to shift into the dark side, far from me to justify the evil people do, but that decision sometimes is one of survival or greed. It's a lot easier to be an evil person than it is to be a good person and so many people make that choice when enough pressure is put on them, I don’t think there is anyone who intentionally likes his life to be difficult, so it takes the battle to the moral ground.

Dear Trayvon . Top Story - February 2024.
Dear Trayvon, My name is Joe Patterson. We don’t know each other, but we have a lot in common. We are both young Black males, we have both faced ignorance and discrimination because of our skin color and we share a birthday, February 5th. I just wanted to write you a letter to let you know how life has been going since you’ve been gone.

Cookie & Papa: Cancer Survivors
February 4th is World Cancer Day. It’s a time when cancer awareness is front and center. If there is anything that resonates with me most about this day it’s the fact that both of my grandparents, Erma Gwendolyn Spencer and Harry James Spencer are the two mightiest warriors to fight cancer that I have ever known.

Gandhi Lied To Me
I’m grateful for Facebook. That’s not a popular sentiment nowadays, not since we’ve all awakened to the fact that it’s nothing but a soulless corporate entity whose algorithm of artificial rage may have been instrumental in the insurrection at the Capitol. I’m not grateful for its data mining skills or its propagation of click-bait links. I’m not grateful for the pictures of people’s food or their political opinions. But I am grateful that it has allowed me to reunite with people who otherwise would have faded into oblivion.

Is life passing you by?
Talking with a friend of mine recently, he said he felt life was passing him by, and he felt insecure about how things were moving. This raised an important question in my mind, why would he feel that way? why would he think to himself that life was passing him by?
