Many people outside of the entertainment world might just believe that being and entertainer is a glamorous life. It is but it isn’t. With that being said, let me introduce myself.

Maybe she drank one too many Margarita’s the late morning I ...

His...

“Melody” by Blane Britt

I was 14 years old when the first time I seen and fell madly in love with Adeline Fairchild. Even before the most attractive and most popular girl in our freshmen year of high school didn’t know I even existed. I knew right then and there that one day she would eventually be my wife. It wasn’t until our junior year that she began to notice me. I had grown from 5’5 to 6’3 over the course of one summer and I was th...

My man and baby daddy Sloppy Drunk; I mean Sloppy Seconds primary and only goal in life. His main objective. His soul purpose for living.

“She Was a True Victim of Junkie Circumstances” by Blane Britt

Through my own heroin use personal experiences I always believed in the duck test that is a form of deductive reasoning. This is its usual expression: If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck. The test implies that a person can identify an unknown subject by observing that subject's habitual characteristics. In the case of Lolita heroin use the look fit to a te...

“South African Christmas Traditions” by Blane Britt

I was around 11 years old when my father remarried. In choosing what parent to reside with by order of the divorce decree I chose my father who was granted full custody. There were several reasons why I stood firm to live with my Pops. The main reason was the fact that he earned 6 figures. I truly enjoyed the big house, my friends, school and I wasn’t even sure did my mother know I existed. My mother enjoyed the taste of...

“The Simple Truth About Me” by Blane Britt

I committed my first petty theft at the tender old age of 6. My grandmother’s purse was sitting on her dresser just beckoning me to get some change so that I could send my wayward older sister Cindy to the candy store. It was close between the two of us who would have the title of black sheep of the family. When she ran away from home at the age of 13 to join the ...

“Yes, You Heard Me Correctly!” by Blane Britt

“It had been 24 years since she’d last seen it, but the place looked exactly the same,” as that thought suddenly crossed my mind. All I could think about were quotes from that book, A Tale of Two Cities. The 1859 historical novel by Charles Dickens, set in London where a man just like me found love during the French Revolution. While I found true love right after the Impact Investment ESG Banking Conference in London.

“Your In The Army Now” by Blane Britt

I was taken totally off guard when I received an invitation from Uncle Sam. Induction is when you are drafted, which hasn’t happened in the US since Vietnam. It used to be for 1 or 2 years. Inductees go where they are sent; they have very little choice, if any. Enlistment is voluntary. It is generally for 3 or 4 years, depending on the service. There is a lot of choice for them. First came a few days of ...

Have you ever heard of the term reincarnation? Well let me tell you that reincarnation is the philosophical or religious belief that the non-physical essence of a living being starts a new life in a different physical form or body after biological death and transformation. It is also called rebirth or transmigration. Resurrection originally had the same meaning. It transformed into a similar process hypothesized by some ...

“The Resurgence and Death of the Yo-Yo” by Blane Britt

I received my first yo-yo on my 6th birthday. With no one in my household being able to demonstrate to me to make the yo-yo automatically return back up to me. It sat in my toy box for 4 years.  It wasn’t until I was placed on bedroom house arrest for an entire summer for snapping or breaking Mrs. Margret’s favorite chicken’s neck Malcolm just the way “she’d” always demonstrated to me what she would do ...
