Today was a day where I went to return a gift I bought for a friend. I found that I became frustrated while doing this in the store. I did have a conversation before this that was a touch difficult. That conversation involved me mentioning my thoughts on a subject which ended up going into…

I am reminded today of the history and current thoughts of this day in America. It is a time of fun, but also a time of promoting fear. Now remember that fear can be treated as a fun thing. Often, it is used to entertain and create drama. It can be a Three Stooges type…

I recently visited my brothers in Atlanta. We do this a few times a year. I cannot say I grew up with these cats because I am aware from some sentimental stories that I was nothing but trouble and only in the last 10 years I feel that I actually grew up. I went to…

Occasionally I will desire something in my life that I want very badly. Honestly, there aren’t too many things I want that I don’t have as I feel that I am incredibly wealthy with everything in my life. No, I don’t live in a mansion or drive a Ferrari, but I have wonderful, wonderful things…
