What moved me to write this, was finding an elderly and presumably homeless man laid out on the pavement unconscious and not moving, in the ninety-plus degree heat, just about an hour ago as I was coming out of the park on my daily walk. Mind you, this was on…

I say all of this with the utmost respect and gratitude and I hope you’ll at a bare minimum have enough respect for me to at least read this letter from a writer and reader who has supported your platform for years. — While I made a public vow, both to myself and this platform as a whole to no longer publish articles or posts on this app or site trashing it or complaining about it in an unprofessional manner — this is by no means that.

A reminder to all humans — that we’re all just humans so we should try and treat each other that way. — I’ve recently noticed stories in my newsfeed, where writers are writing about the writers who blocked them, those commenting on their work, those who disagree with them publicly, and those they disagree with in general. I have a problem with this for one reason and one reason only. I could…

The rollercoaster of life as they call it, meaning the ups and downs of it and the thrills and scares of them, has been quite the ride for me over the last year and beyond. However, this year has shown me while I can’t control the ride itself — I…

The trending new slang term for one of America’s favorite BBQ foods, while admittedly tempting to say — I just refuse — not because I’m too old for slang but just this specific slang or trend. — In honor of this being the last day of July, which means tomorrow is the first day of the last month to the unofficial end of summer, I wanted to keep it light and address a trend that as far as I know was just born earlier this spring or…

To know you can accomplish the thing you’ve always wanted to but were afraid to try, because ordinary people who were too scared to chase their own dreams, told you it wasn’t possible.

I shouldn’t have to write this, but the millions of strictly digital interactions, messages, sites, and pages involving and/or dedicated to infidelity, tell me otherwise. — Listen, I’m not a love guru. You probably shouldn’t take relationship advice from me despite the ironic fact my relationship/love posts tend to perform better than anything else I write, almost exponentially and without fail. I suspect this is because I’m wildly open and honest about my past failures in…

I guess the two pairs can come off looking the same to those who don’t know better. — One of the more moving and sweeter scenes in a classic and personal favorite but also usually brutally violent and graphic television series Sons of Anarchy — is when the matriarch of the Sons themselves, the motorcycle gang in which the show centers around and is named after, played by…

And why I’d be perfectly content remaining single and childless. — Two issues I haven’t struggled with much over the last decade or so are denial and self-awareness. It was at 27 I first admitted out loud to another human being I had a problem with drugs and alcohol and needed to do something about it and reached out for help. …
