Please think upon our insignificance in the grand expanse of the universe, and how the slightest considerate gesture might make us feel wonder and adoration, like our appreciation of the stars upon which we gaze. Humbly yours, J

Old Knobby
Many years ago, one of the premier locations for specialty bottles in my area was Capone’s in Norristown, Pennsylvania. I have since found many competing bottle shop options, yet despite the hour and a half drive, I will still visit Capone’s on occasion for special releases. One of my prized finds there was Gratitude by East […]
MOOB
Stand up straight. Drive on the proper side of the road. Be kind to strangers. Say please and thank you. Maintain a balanced diet. Frequently exercise. Be considerate of your elders. Look people in the eye. Tell the truth. Use sir or ma’am. Treat people with respect. Your manboobs should not be bigger than your […]
It’s all so lost
I can’t help it. Sometime you can’t help the feelings. Sometimes denial is like trying to forcefully kick a waterfall to receding, and going back the way it came. I’m compelled to feel, when my senses are assaulted, no, not assaulted, but forcefully reawakened by invigoration, reminiscence, and nostalgic ferocity. I listen to this song […]
Triumvirate
Many years ago I was a “partier”. With this moniker came an incredibly stupid responsibility. This responsibility was to carry on as wildly as possible and to drink any booze that floated close to my gullet. For a spell I had a penchant for tequila, and passionately gulped shots of Don Julio, Jose, and *hurggge* Zapata. I […]
CHERRY! vs. Cherry:(
Is is possible to not enjoy a cherry? Of course there must be a few people out there that don’t enjoy the tart/sweet combination. Or maybe the texture is off-putting to some? I love cherries. As you bite into one, the sweet, sugary juice that graces your mouth and simultaneously excites the sour/tart elements in your taste buds […]
Sunday morning coming down
Like a reanimated corpse I shuffled through my apartment. I forced my recoiling synapses into firing directions that dictated my limbs to stuff laundry into a basket and tossed the detergent on top. The gym clothes were donned with abandon and my ambitions of cardio were feeling like a daunting proposition. Yet, driven by time […]
Seconds Between
Supposedly, dreams are projections from our subconscious. We are told that they are not real. Many dreams that we experience, we express thanks that they are not real. Some, in that hazy-consciousness slipstream, we wish would be real, and would continue on forever, depriving us of the waking world. As children, nightmares, or a misunderstanding of […]
The Amazing and Wonderful World of Self Giving!
The mailbox is a long-standing edifice to a past, marginally related to the current, digitally focused world. Once this was the source of our correspondence. Pre-dating the telephone, the “pony express” would deliver communication to households and homesteads far and wide. Husbands, wives, and children would eagerly anticipate words from those located great distances away. […]
The Great Deceit of Fishing
I do not enjoy fishing. I have never had a burning compulsion to stand on the shore of a placid lake, bait my hook, and launch into the aquatic mirror my rivulet-causing projectile. This endeavor always seemed a waste of time. All of the time spent anticipating the hypothetical tension when hook makes purchase with […]
