Pop Corn Wars I have heard people say that “life is a constant struggle“. I am a partial believer of that statement when things like ‘getting-up-in-the-morning-to-beat-the-school-bus’ are a part of my regular reality. Every weekday morning, I am confronted with another ‘beat-the-bus’ struggle to motivate my kids to get up…get up…get goin’. I suppose each of […]
I think I just experienced an evening I’ll remember forever. It all started with an advertisement for an OpenMic Night event that caught my attention. Some part of me told myself, here’s an opportunity to do something you’ve never done. So, I did it this evening. Everything tonight revolved around the concept that kept ringing […]
I’ve often heard the phrase “don’t write a check your ‘body’ can’t cash” in the context of something physical or challenging that exceeds one’s perceived capability. But what if the demands faced are more cerebral? Replace ‘body’ with ‘mind’ and reread it. The same principle applies for the most part, but now the ‘heart’ becomes […]
The gloves came off…but it was a challenge from the jump. I managed to bob and weave against the ropes and never took a direct shot from the sauce or the burrito.
That was yesterday, yet here we are again, and She’s flirting with another idea for Book Five about sourcing an organic-like humanoid vehicle for AIMEE. Her eyes say She’s flirting with an idea, but I’d call it more like stalking an idea.
She seems so much taller, and I so much weaker…when she’s ten feet tall…like Alice.
Shit…I AM down another rabbit hole. She’s not real. She’s in my head. Another left turn to procrastinate, not getting to the story I am supposed to be writing, and this shit pops into my head… recalculating…
This writing will become a living work, and new Farts and Thoughts will be added as they happen…or as soon as I get around to it. I will add new writing additions at the top of the list to minimize scrolling to find whatever is new. As a warning, I confess to being awake most of the time…but a far cry from woke…so if I offend anyone…bummer!

I blatantly ignored the Science Fair pledge and applied the full power of every available technology to demonstrate my “son’s” hypothesis. You could say I bulldozed through “his” project. All of that was done on a 2-foot by 4-foot board. All that was done — only to lose the entire competition. None of it could have been done by a fifth grader. “Our” project did not just lose, it was in the way.
The story surrounding that project could only be written as either a dark mini-series or a tragic novel. I would not want to revisit that nightmare to accomplish either one. I pledged to my wife that I would never get that involved again. I kept my word for months…mainly because it was months before the project’s due date. Urgency hovered at low tide. It was either low tide of that shrinking tide just before a tsunami rolls in. Not sure, but I do not want to get ahead of myself…
Have you ever repeated a saying you’ve heard before to fit a circumstance perfectly and have no clue where that saying came from or know exactly what it means? I’ve done it for no other reason than it fits the occasion, and I’m guessing you have too. It was -1 degree this morning here in […]
