We react to music, or a favorite song, by attaching a memory to it, of a time, place, or person. We think of […]

Body Armor
I’m confident that everyone has seen a movie in which a member of a police force, swat team, or bomb squad, is wearing some sort of body armor. If not, please refer to these links for examples of what I am discussing. http://bulletproofvestshop.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/tactical-body-armor.jpg https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/38/USMC_Turret_Gunner_mannequin.JPG http://2.imimg.com/data2/LI/EJ/MY-3533402/eod-bomb-disposal-suit-250×250.jpg The heavily padded, reinforced, wearable, items, can be vests, leg and […]
Ascension
On one knee, the angel knelt at the base of the pit. His head was bent low, his neck muscles strained, and tensed, from the awkward, downward angle. With his fists clenched and pressed into the earth, he pushed his body upwards. The muscles in his arms and shoulders rippled with the strain. It was […]
Over.
It’s been a while since I’ve posted a song. I know that I’m not the greatest singer, nor do I possess the proper equipment to do the best cover of this song. But I wanted to give it a run and put it out there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4d6pTySAnw Humbly yours, J
The Dress
If I made it from the pale glow of the moon, would you wear it to light my path through the gloom? If I wove it from yellow and white rays of the sun, would you wear it to give light to this one? If I created it of the red and yellow of flame, […]
The Dot Matrix Human

Here’s a simple example that I found on youtube that gives shows the printer in action. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_vXA058EDY As for those that do recall this, now archaic piece of technology, I hope that you are thinking fondly of […]

Caregiver – One who cradles, assists, and feeds, the child who can’t move or nurture itself. Storyteller – A man who encouraging reading and creates stories. He cares for and encourages imagination, and wonder in a young […]
The Power of Tone
We’ve all heard how tone can mean everything. You’re trying to communicate something important, to a friend or an acquaintance, but it keeps coming across the wrong way. Perhaps you didn’t sleep enough, or the lack of understanding is frustrating, and thus your tone is affected. You just can’t get your point across. Maybe you’ve […]
Say Yes
I don’t know that many will recall the Jim Carrey movie Yes Man. For those that are unfamiliar, the plot basically revolves around a man stuck on negative behaviors. He is predominantly anti-social and withdrawn. After being convinced to attend a yes seminar, Jim Carrey’s character finds himself agreeing to every opportunity that presents itself. The extreme […]
