Question Existing

Every day that we’re given life, we are one second, one minute, one hour, one day, one month, or one year away from death. While we may be breathing, many of us are not “living”.
To endure the death of a loved one may cause us to evaluate how our lives are going.
Yesterday, while mourning [...]

Gone for Too Long

Please allow me to apologize for my absence. It would seem that life has consumed all my free time and I have been unable to actually blog.
I’ve also neglected everyone on my RSS reader. I haven’t frequented many sites in the past month (or should I say most of the summer).
Between traveling and my forever [...]

Oh Brother!

When I think of perfection
You’re the first thing I see
Because ever since I could recall
That’s what you’ve been to me
Instrumental in my growth
Even though I’m a bit older
Anytime I need to
I could lean on your shoulder
You’re the light shining brightly
On the darkest of days
And a phenomenal man
I wish more had your ways
I love that you’re [...]

My Number System

The reason I decided to blog this is because for the last 5-6 years or so, I have noticed a pattern when it comes to numbers with me. I used to think that coincidence was the reason behind why I seemed to always look at the clock at 3:33 and 12:34.
Today, I was searching “Google” [...]

A Post About A Post

Being called a morning person isn’t such a bad thing. Although, when I was called a morning person I was looked at with a side eyed glance which really meant “you being so happy in the morning is really not the move right now.” I’d apologize to her but – honestly – why should I [...]

Free Writing: I’m Perfect

Consider this a jack theme from the one of my fellow bloggers Ms. Q over at QMusings. The following free write is loosely based on her “I’m Perfect” post.
Free Writing: I’m Perfect
Life is funny in the way that is has presented itself. I often wonder why events and happenings turn out they way that they [...]

My Life

My eyes are open
But I’m so blind
I think I know it all
With my closed mind
My pain is pleasure
My joy is pain
No psychotherapist
Can render me sane
Problem after problem
With no resolution
Will surely have me
In somebody’s institution
I need an escape
From my own self
For this state of depression
Has affected my health
I won’t take meds
Not because of my pride
But because [...]

The Glory Of The Morning

This is straight off the cuff. No editing. No spell check. No going back and rethinking thoughts. I may do this more often just to keep me going but if you don’t like it than so be it. If you are feeling it then holla for me one time. If you are feeling it greatly [...]

No Address, Part 2: Spoke to Your Kids

Continued from No Address, Part 1:
You’re daughter called me. I’m sure she got the number from you. I don’t know why she bothered calling. I didn’t get why she called. It made no sense at all. My mother thought it great. She talked to me and asked me what I knew of you. I told [...]

Color, Culture, Race: What do you base discrimination on?

A few years ago, I went to see a Broadway show called Avenue Q with this girl I was seeing. There was a song that went, “Everyone’s a little bit racist.” As they were singing, I realized that the statement can be true (and probably is) but I would consider the phrase, “Everyone Discriminates” more [...]

I Woke Up…

I woke up this morning
Knowing that tomorrow isn’t promised and I am able to experience today.
I walked out my door this morning
After preparing myself for what is a day unknown.
I walked down the stairs this morning
And saw a little girl lost in the haze of marijuana.
I walked to the train station this morning
Knowing that life is precious [...]
