Why Do We Always Cancel The Wrong People?. Top Story - August 2022.
I have a lot of regrets in my life. I am a former alcoholic who lived with many undiagnosed issues for the first thirty years of my life. I never did anything truly abhorrent, but there were plenty of friends and partners I treated like absolute shit.

Time for the Party to Be Over?
The signs are on the corners. The ads are on television. Yes, it is that time of year again- campaign season. It is the time when a bunch of people you have never heard of, and a few you have, tell you everything you want to hear as well as some things you don’t. Promises and big plans of how they as a sole individual will swoop into our political system and make everything right.

American Society Wants The Sick And Tired To Die
I am sick a lot. Simple colds will knock me out for days or weeks, forcing me to pick up the pieces afterward. I have gotten into the habit of expecting gaps of fatigue and illness. I have had trouble being a "productive" member of society for years, and truthfully only exist right now because I have a robust support system.

End of the Week Coffee Break
I hope that my writing serves as a catalyst for intellectual reflection, debate and at times just a good-natured laugh. I intend to write on topics current in America — hopefully from a perspective of thought not rigorously tied to one political dogma. Thinking about productive outcomes is perhaps the best way to describe my desired outcome... or at least my motivation for thoughtfulness and debate.

The Wall of Jericho
There are a significant number of values that was instilled within me throughout my childhood that still remain today. These values are at the core of what many refer to as “Good Christian Values.” Be kind to others. Share what you have with the less fortunate. Show understanding, love, and strength with others. And above all, Love JESUS and trust in His word! I held tightly to these values and made them a part of who I am as a man. Not only did I trust in his word, I also carried it with me every where I went. It was in my hand at all times. That’s how important those values have always been to me. And most of them still are. A wall of virtue had been built, and I dared anyone to break it down.

11JUL2022; 1154, MON- Maryland, USA As I sit in this doughnut shop pondering my hatred of the infamous snacks, I can't help but to remember that classic one liner by Drake: "What a time; to be alive!" Shoutout to whoever helped him write that one.
