Poker Tales I

30Oct08

33 players, I made it down to the last 5. Instead of paying out the top 3, they decided that we’d all get $100 and then the first place winner would get an extra $140.
There was about $30,000 in chips out there, which would have put me in first place. With Ace/9 suited, I went [...]

Answering the Impatient

29Oct08

The changes.
Nine months ago, I couldn’t drive 1 mile to buy something from the local convenient store.
Now, I drive hundreds of miles a week, by myself.
Nine months ago, I couldn’t shower or take a bath without someone at home with me.
Now, I do it whenever, without worrying about someone finding me naked in the tub, [...]

Grandfather’s Shoes

26Oct08

Today i put on my grandfather’s shoes. The soft & strong leather wrinkled areas about, like the laugh lines of his face. The weathered shine that had endured years of wear, reminded me of the glow about him, even in the last days of his life.
The shoes, fit so perfect, however, i am far from [...]

Somernites Cruise

26Oct08

Our first trip to Somernites Cruise. We met up with some new friends from Monticello, there to offer moral support for the moment when one of them was broken the bad news that he didn’t win the Chevelle in the raffle he entered. If it weren’t so cold, we would have stuck around to help [...]

Who I Am, What You Want

21Oct08

The marks are my own
Inflicted & sustained
A song once sang
faced with nothing, I want pain.
I feel so much
deeper than skin
I protect what’s within
by keeping you, at end.
Do you want me?
Obligation or something more?
I’ll assume what your efforts are for
as long as you never lose sight of my core.

People & Money

21Oct08

We’re selling Julie’s car on a lease to own basis to our neighbors after their only car broke down. $25 a week.
He came over last night, always making the effort to approach us before we have to ask why they’re behind. I assured him that everything was okay. Take care of him, his girl and [...]

McCain’s Change

13Oct08

I like the guy in some ways and yes this is a cheap shot, but it’s one of those things you see and just have to share. Kind of like the easy joke that has to be said because it’s so obvious.

Gawd. SHUT UP!

07Oct08

If elected, she’s one failed heartbeat away from the presidency. What’s wrong with this country? I honestly feel like McCain is too smart to choose her as a running mate. I have SOME respect for him. However, I feel the Republican party is to blame for placing her in her current position and I [...]

Why I Talk

02Oct08

Much has been said about how much I share and talk.
With the passing of my grandfather, I had confirmation of how and who I am.
I’ll try my best to protect your privacy & emotions, but my nature is to share and relate. Nothing is ever malicious and I’m sorry if I ever hurt you. The [...]

The Old Me, Surfacing

02Oct08

Sometimes, I hope I die an early death of brain cancer, so you know I was never lying. I hope you read the list in my cold, dead hand and see your name on it- who I didn’t want in my life and who I don’t want at my funeral.
This is my reverse eulogy.
I hope [...]

Palin, Abort Your Campaign!

Against abortion or morning after pill if a 15 year old was raped by her father?
WTF.
