Humanity
Mentor of the Obscure
Dear Pedro (Charlie Tuttle), If it wasn’t for you, I don’t know who I would be. When I met you, I was a confused kid, trapped in webs of false ideas and social isolation, praying for a beacon of something resonant to my buried self. I had just moved back to Northern California after a whirlwind of ill-suited home situations in Tucson, Arizona. I remember that when I moved in, I noticed you never left your house except once a week and in the middle of the night going to God knows where. You were always keeping away from people and had only the occasional visitor of very mysterious sort. I was scared of introducing myself, but felt curious about you and about this other world outside our little house littered with my father's various Indian god statues and presumptions.

With Love
To my hero, I have seen the work you do when no one else seems to care. You give a voice to the people that have long been lost. Ancient stories and artifacts that others want to study, you placed back with their owners. You know our people are not just an artifact and a thing to be studied. You have stressed and fought an uphill battle with museums and peoples that see us as just another number. You fight for the children in our school so they have a voice. You fight for them to have books in our language. You work even when your work should be done.

I 'Could' Get Away with Murder
I must admit: I’ve thought of it. I could get away with murder. I’ve considered scenarios where, if I were a criminal, I’d have an advantage. I could rob a bank. Drop my gun. Throw away my weapon, knowing that the authorities will never find me.

Just Try
It was a summer of grief. I sat there wondering about the gollum of tomorrow which is really a paradigm for all things that could go wrong. The other end of that was perhaps a flute but I had none. Therefore the evening was filled with stress.

Ubiquity
This Was Going To Be A Poem This is a poem about addressing a dark issue in me. I really don’t rate myself because for a lot of my life people just assume that everything is perfect for me, resulting in sometimes people actually attacking me and making me a scapegoat for failures by others. I have always come through these things, although it is hard work. I know that I am not the only one in that situation

he will end up in my bed
my bed looks nothing like their bed in this image. my bed is never made. if anything I leave it unmade on purpose. not just as an invitation but as a reminder that there is always something else that I have to do as if I needed another reminder about that.

Five reasons why I hate money
I'm just going to come right out and say it. I HATE money. Yes, I know it's an essential part of our society, but it has become obvious to me in recent years that money is a large source of negativity. It causes huge amounts of stress and can lead to some devastating choices. It is hard to meet someone who does not stress over money and that includes people who have a lot of it. From what I have personally observed money can have a negative impact on a person's life no matter how much or how little of it they have. I know it is unrealistic to want money to not exist, but I still hate it and here are five reasons why.
