06.15.08 | Permalink | 4 CommentsPeople often say good men are hard to find
And though that may be true
I know my mom found a great one
The day that she met you
You had your rough edges
And you were humble enough
To let God iron them out
Instead of acting all tough
You were patient and kind
Thoughtful yet aggressive
Nothing like my dad
For he was too [...]Popularity: 3% [?]

Rican Weekend
06.08.08 | Permalink | 3 CommentsIf you ask some folk what truly sets off the Summer they’ll tell you the Puerto Rican Day Parade. But unlike the many Puerto Ricans that will be out today (or are out already) there are some who try to avoid the parade at all costs.
I sent one of my many Puerto Rican friends a [...]Popularity: 4% [?]

First Day of Spring Is Here 2008
03.20.08 | Permalink | 6 CommentsSpring is upon us and Easter is just up the block.
In my younger years Spring and Easter meant so much more to me than it did now.
Spring is one of my favorite seasons. It bring a sense of renewal. My remembrance of Spring has more to do with sunshine and warm weather. It also was [...]Popularity: 6% [?]

Remembering King
01.21.08 | Permalink | 2 CommentsToday is the holiday known as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day. If I have that incorrect don’t shoot me. I know today is a day off for most. Some people in our future won’t even understand the impact of the man’s work. Others won’t care to remember, they’ll just relish in the privilege of [...]

Misadventures while Christmas Shopping
12.24.07 | Permalink | 2 CommentsI am constantly amazed how much truth is more interesting and bizarre than fiction.
So I happen to be Christmas shopping yesterday and I stopped at Penn Station (34th Street) at approximately 5pm to grab a bite to eat. Now, like any other major transportation hub, this one was alive and crammed with people itching to get [...]Popularity: 10% [?]

On This Day…
11.22.07 | Permalink | 2 CommentsI have to thank God for those times he spared my life: The many times as a child when I contemplated suicide, the time in that hotel in Scranton when I damn near died high on E fused with liquor and weed, the time when I crashed the Pathfinder on black ice leaving Wilkes-Barre on [...]

Give Thanks!
11.22.07 | Permalink | 9 CommentsThanksgiving is supposed to be about family and turkey (and house hoping). Making excuses to ignore your dietary habits and eating ’til you bust are some of the goals for many today.
Back in the day I would house hop. I wasn’t one to just stay home (I come from a small home - party of two). [...]Popularity: 13% [?]

Happy Father’s Day 2007
I know being a father is a hard task sometimes. But why would you ever put your baby on the ground and then turn your back to him/her?

A Mother…
A Mother…
Our strongest support system since before birth
Usually the one who teaches us how to behave on this earth
Strong enough to be the man, yet a gentle as a woman
Can balance bills, kids, work and still the best at cookin’
Will hide her pain to ensure that there is joy
Would rather build a happy home than [...]Popularity: 13% [?]

What Mother’s Day Means To Me
All I can say is that the designated day like all the other designated days has been commercialized ad nausea (to benefit those entitled, whining guilt trippers who seem to never get enough and must always have it their way).
I’m sure the majority of world population acknowledges parents, mentors, friends, etc., on a regular, with [...]Popularity: 12% [?]

Love Is In The Air (And It Stinks)
It’s Valentine’s Day, whatever that means. Consider it the best thing to happen to the floral industry since soil and water became best friends. Of course, we cannot forget our friends at Hallmark for saying those special words for us that we can’t come up with on our own.
I’m all for relationships, when they actually [...]Popularity: 8% [?]
