When I was very young, my friends and I would gather at unchaperoned locations and drink. After procuring quantities of alcohol and a vacant abode, we would gather and have a party. On one such occasion, my friends and I found ourselves unable to consume all the booze that had been acquired. Since we couldn’t stash […]
DDD
The bourbon barrel aged beer is a highly sought after delicacy in the craft beer world. Many companies have their own version of this style. However, the reality is that not all are excellent offerings. Those barrel-aged brews that are deemed of the highest caliber are naturally those in greatest demand. While I contend, from […]
Retraction
Here was my hand, given to you years before. An apology came from my mouth in tandem with this extension, though I’d no prior offering from you. Acceptable terms were met. And we carried on as friends. Until, times became more turbulent. And conflicts became too volatile, that clashing and thrashing occurred. Yet “sorry” was […]
What is Precious?
In the epic, very well, debatably epic story, The Hobbit, there is a character named Gollum. This character had, in the distant past of the story, discovered a bauble of tremendous mysticism and magical power. This bauble was in the form of a ring, and with its use, this creature was able to become invisible whilst […]
How to disappear completely

And, too heavily do these millstones of defeatism weigh upon my shoulders, assuredly on your own, and doubtlessly haunt our growth and maturation towards […]
Miliseconds
The holidays are upon us. Yes, the holidays. Some love these times. Some loathe them My feelings can vacillate drastically between the two extremes. Though, to be truthful, I would evaluate my feelings as abundantly neutral. Numbness, sadly, is the determined sensation, or lack thereof, at this time of year. And in the course of […]
Apothecary
Casting wishes into the placid pond of life won’t cause ripples which result in me being a better singer, so I voice my efforts into your lake of judgement. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJhuVgrLhNU&feature=youtu.be Humbly yours, J
Fraying in the evening
As winter coughs its arrival into my world it delivers puffs of nostalgia and wisps of yearning. As the melodies of familiar holiday tunes warm my sentimentality, the loss of innocence strums discordant notes. This unfortunality, is that the nascent, desperate, shimmering optimism that the holidays once portrayed seems to no longer hold sway. I […]
Shifting Sights
For so long I was angry. I was distressed and full of energy and confusion. I was swayed easily by my naivety. And my anger was directed towards, in retrospect, so many things which bore me no ill will, nor had the immediate impact upon which my life would have hinged, nor my anger justified. […]
