VENTING (because the world needs to hear this)

Well, I get pissed, god damn it! – George Carlin

A Boy and His Frog

Feeling schmaltzy tonight, so look out. Gonna post a little personal fiction, some free-writing I did after waking up from a deep self-conference. I do so love good conversation! I will post two (count ’em, TWO) schmaltzy stories tonight, and YOU, you hapless reader you, must decide which one you like better. Or maybe you’ll hate ’em both. It’s all you. So here we go with Story Number 2:

Two Gentlemen

So here we go with Story Number 1:

The Accidental Cuck

This is a fun travel story that just popped up from my memory banks. I’ll begin by referencing a bit from comedian Michelle Wolf, in which she suggests walking up to the front desk at a hotel, crying, and say, “This was supposed to be my honeymoon!” and you will get great treatment.

Do you know of Bob Ross? You should.

God, Satan, and My Student Loans

“From roaming throughout the earth, going back and forth on it.” This is essentially how Lucifer is said to answer in the Book of Job (1:7) when God asks him where he has been. This is one of the more fascinating books of the Bible. Now indulge me as I flaunt my ignorance.

The Aftermath of Publishing

I recently published a book. A lot of my friends bought it. (A few received free signed copies as the publisher always gives the author ten freebies. I still have three to give away.) How has it been received? All I can say is that the silence has been deafening.

It’s the End of the World as We Know it and I Feel Fine

Actually, I feel a little rundown. But that’s irrelevant. Let’s look at how the next twenty years could very well see the end of our civilization, and how that will affect ME. Because, in the end, isn’t that what we’re all worried about? Me?

Evangelicals Rewrite Christianity

In 325 AD, Roman Emperor Constantine rewrote Christianity to make it more palatable to the Pagans that dominated Rome at the time. Referred to today as the Council of Nicea, it created modern Christianity as we know it. However, as humanity moves forward and even the most dogged dogma is left by the wayside, right-wing Evangelicals in the U.S. continue to rewrite the original teachings of Christ to make it more palatable to their political leanings. Let’s look at the minutes of a hypothetical Council on American Christianity…

So What Does The Future Hold?

Well, here we are, seven months past the 2020 election. Is anyone still clinging to that sense of hope, that relieved feeling that we have banished the bad people to the far corners of social media and the political fringe? If so, have you not been paying attention?
