When was the last time you were inspired? The last time your heart leaped out of your chest and took your breath with it? When was the last time you truly looked at man, and saw the image of God for which he was created? I’m sure it has been awhile. I’m sure while you … More Ad Astra
Here is the dissection of the blog about my obiturary post. I had gotten a lot of feedback about it and asked a lot of questions. Yes, it really was an assignment, and here is the actually thought process that went on in my head when I wrote it. This is to give you an … More Dissection of Death
I am dying. Not really dying, I am already dead, or I am supposed to at least pretend that I am. My assignment is to write my own obituary, and the thought of doing so was strange at first, then frightening, and then entertaining. I wasn’t sure how to start because reading obituaries wasn’t something … More The Obituary
Recently I took a personality test and found out I am a bull. I think. It could have been an owl or tiger or goat. But I do think I was a bull with an affinity to sparrows? No, I am a bull, and my secondary personality was a cat. That’s not right either, but … More My life as a Zoo

I cannot sleep tonight, the man in the moon is wanting to talk, and I am obliged to listen. He has questions and I fumble with the answers in my head, not that I don’t know them, just at this time of the morning, I am having a hard time processing. He wants to know … More Insomnia
As I drive past an old Buick parked on the side of the street, I slightly swerve to avoid two chickens as they awkwardly try to decide if they should cross the street or not. I slightly chuckle in my head. I am on my way to visit an old friend, a secret friend, one … More The House on the Corner
I am about to come to a major crossroad in my life. A cosmic one if you will. You are too. We are all about to come to a part of our life where we have to make a decision, a big one. No longer are we going to sit back and hit cruise control, … More Crossroads
I will never apologize for the love I have for the musical stylings of John Mayer. I may not always agree with the man, but as far as musicians and songwriters go, he is one of this generation’s greatest and you can not argue with that. I remember where I was the first time I … More Walt Grace
