Sedulous.
I’ve often felt like my life is way more chaotic and fast paced than anyone else I know. Is this actually true or are we all going through the same levels of day to day intensity? I tend to think a single person without dependants doesn’t have anything on me but what do I know.…

In Poor Taste.
It’s so crazy how without scent there is no taste. As a kid I’d plug my nose when eating something revolting so this phenomenon is learnt at an early age. But the mechanics of it definitely astounds me during a time like this where it’s so long term and without touching my nose. I hate…

Covid: Day Whatever.
This covid is kicking my ass. I find myself places that emotionally I don’t want to be. Childish anger. Needless frustration. Ungrateful imprisonment. And the desire to have simple processes like the ability to smell and taste my food. I’m not in a pleasant place. I’m trying to stay positive for my sickly daughters. They…

Then Covid Moved In.
Well, after working on the “front lines” and going about my business throughout the past 18 or so months of this pandemic and now I test positive, fully vaxxed and all. That’s right. I have covid-19 or probably more accurate the delta variant. My immune compromised daughters have it, too. And as mild as it…

Another Sober Saturday.
I don’t know if 3 months or 100 days sober is a bigger deal so let’s stick with 12 weeks documented today. I remember when I thought 3 weeks was huge and now I’m here. I’m not looking for a round of applause. I just want it known that no matter how trapped you may…

Summer Of Hate.
It has been hovering around 30 degrees where I live now for what.. five or six weeks?! This is something to be happy about. It’s what we Canadians look forward to during the other ten months of the year. This is real deal summer heat and you know what? I’ll take the cold any day…

A-Muse Me.
In compiling all of my past poetry entries from this blog for submission to publishers I’m realizing how important it is for a writer to have a muse. This is the cornerstone of any genre of the written word whether a novel, a tv series, poetry, films and even lyrics to most every song ever…

Matters Of The Moment.
Recently I wrote about how life keeps getting better and better. It was a nice little ride but of course the bottom fell out, as per expected. Why did I even confess said success? What was the point? Just another batch of life serving up steaming piles of horse crap the next moment over. The…

Grilled Cheese Sandsnitches (From my upcoming recipe book for the incompetent male).
So warm! So gosh darn toasty! Think winter, people. The deepest, deep winter morn there ever was. What’s the one thing that helps you wake up in the morning? The notion of a beautiful, steaming plate full of grilled cheese sandwiches, that’s what. Go ahead and tell me this ain’t the truth. Guess what? Here’s…

Amongst The Darkness-6)
Charlie and The Man sat on an old bench in a quiet downtown park. The sun was high, and the mood was heavy. As inquisitive as he was, for maybe the first time, Charlie was unsure if he actually wanted to know his place here and why he had been chosen. His feelings of being…
