Remember When

Sitting on my front porch, which is really my parent’s porch, I watched a little boy driving around in one of those kid cars. His grandparents, the couple across the street, own two of those cars. One’s a Hummer and the other is some sort of Barbie Jeep. It seems that on this day the little [...]

Summer Breeze, Makes Me Feel Fine

It’s Sunday, and as of right now that means poolside at my friends house. It’s going to be a hot one today and I’m excited. My goal is to sweat out all the worry I have had the past two weeks. I’m tired this morning. Tired of thinking about all that has been on my [...]

Don’t Show Love Before It’s Too Late

Funny thing about Brain Clouds, you don’t have time for your own when someone else has theirs.
“I wish I could strap you to my back and take you every where with me.” My father spoke those words to my mom the other day.
Earlier in the week he had a panic attack in a restaurant we were at. He [...]

Loss 16:12

There are segments in our lives when it feels like all the world and it’s people want to do is beat the shit out of us. One blow after another we get punched with bad news that will alter our lives. I have only cried once, and it was brief. I like to think I’m [...]

The Conversation Cont.

“It’s not good”, he said.
My father has lung cancer and they think it may have spread to his liver. He’s 51, and far too young in my eyes to have to go through this. He’s a smoker, we all are. Everyone’s aware that smoking can cause cancer especially in the lungs. Our world, as a [...]

Unchartered territory

At the moment I am sick of writing some “out my ass” philosophical shit. There’s enough of that to feed all the hungry in the world in the blog universe. It has it’s time and place, it just not now, not here. I’ve been trying to quit smoking due to the “Your dad may have [...]

HOT

The wedding shower is today for my brother and his fiancee’. It’s hotter than rabbits fucking in the desert without lube! The brain clouds are back. My Dad and I have been comparing symptoms. I can only hope I make it through the day without my fat ass melting or having a serious panic attack. [...]

The Conversation

“We all have to go some time.”  I’d heard him say this before, but never paid much attention to what it really meant.
“Yeah, but you can’t say you want to go now.” My retort was quick and to the point.
“No, but we all have to go.”
I had that conversation with my father this evening. They [...]

The Couple

When I go into the office to work, which is rare, I always drive passed an old couple sitting on their porch. They are two women that look to be in their seventies. I call them a couple because labels tend to mean less past the age of sixty. They  could be widows, best friends, [...]
