To have a lie told to your face, in person and to be shared as the truth can hurt more worse later. Yes, the truth can hurt a lot more the time it is spoken. It is with much speculation and disbelief that one can make themselves out to be more than they are considered at the time they choose to describe themselves to others. It is with a heavy heart, and a shameful mind, where such a moment presented itself and it was not on a local level. It was at the highest ranks of policy and the government. It would be felt in the consequences and repe...
Ok let's just dwell on the idea of there being more than two genders that are actually part of the same gender correctness as a whole. "If in the beginning there were only two genders that were assigned to all of humanity, when did the other ones become part of that selection?" We all are in search of the perfect to identify and self-describe ourselves. We seek the approval of others by what we want to be recognized as and are willing to settle for that which we do finally identify ourselves as. To ponder on the idea that we have more than t...
"Tonight's story is a sad tale of virtue, of hope, of bravery, yet this story is a tragic one ending in total and utterly defeat." "I'm John Jughad, reporter for News 666." "I am here to interview, Marilynd Wanlender, who is a close friend of the totally defeated waller, Jeffrey French." John: "Good evening and welcome to the show, "You stink and you know it." "Hope you get settled in before we air this."Marilynd: "I would be settled in if you had removed the sharp objects imbedded in my back, you clush." (Reaches around to pull the knives o...
You are running for your life. Your eyes darting left then right, not knowing what to do on such short notice. You then spot a location in the bushes and run in that direction. Then before you can squat down behind a mulberry bush, the ground gives away, you find yourself freefalling in the dirt and earth, landing on solid underground. Where you are exactly is not a sure fired answer for you are in complete and utter darkness. You feel for a light and find your flashlight, which is in your hand now all broken in a million pieces, that cuts y...
"Is it possible to be in two different places at once?" "Is this the moment you find out you were only an illiterate illusion?" "Can you take two different mathematical problems and solve them simultaneously?" "Can you decide between the dark meat or the light meat?" These and other questions are asked all the time. Day in and day out we always ask the why and the what it is that may be but never know what was. If you are never seen and you are overlooked or ignored, does that mean you will never ask the question of, "You can see me?" If thi...
Here lies the problem, here lies the solution. Here lies a moment here lies a vast array of time. Here lies a second, here lies a minute, here lies an hour, here lies a day. Here lies a week, here lies a month. Here lies a year, here lies a decade. Here lies a century, here lies a millennium. Here lies the big bang that started it all. Here lies the big bang that ends it all. The moment came and the moment went, like the speed of sound, you look off to your left or right, if you blink or squint, it's gone, gone forever. Here is the vastness ...
It started off just like any other day did before. It was no different than any other day, except maybe the day of the week, or the month. It came so suddenly that most were never prepared to have three different events happen and they were somehow connected but also separate too. It was the weather that was not supposed to happen, either on the day it did, or at the time it did. It became apparent that most were part of the outcome and part of the solution, part of the problem or a little of both all rolled into one big ball of what the hel...
The moment arrived with a few million people, who were not sure whether to take over being in charge, yet it was most who were at a loss that were trying to. Those that were in charge had no idea what they were doing, no way of knowing if they were doing, whatever it was, correctly, and even then, they were a group of misfits, formed at the last minute. The bright, sunny skies were beginning to show signs of clouds, darkening along with day turning to night. It was apparent that most were either scared of their own shadows, were scared of th...
They always say, "the further you go alone down the path, the more you can't see in the darkness." So, you venture on, and you realize that you may become blinded by the darkness. It's a known fact that without some form of light, from a reliable source besides the sun, you will be like a blind man and stumble, falling. Your eyes play tricks on you; you see less and have to depend on your other senses to get you through to safety. But what if, this a big what if, you lose your way and you lose your sense of direction, becoming lost in a worl...
To admit a wrong done no matter where it was done or when it was done or last the why. Yes, the why always surfaces when you are least prepared for it and it does not have to be the reason behind it. But it's there and then that you realize too much has been spoken and it was done out of anger or before your thoughts in your mind were then spoken and the damage has been done. The wrong can be anything it wishes to be, and it takes no prisoners, nor does it allow us to be the victim. the only way to resolve the wrong and save face if this is ...
This is the story of a man who was afraid of nothing. Nothing at all except the fear of flying, and more so flying solo. He went to apply for the lessons, went to pay the fee and even planned the dates to take the classes and lessons when he was off from work. There was only one problem. It stemmed from a childhood experience that left his filled with fear like having stage fright on opening night of the school play. He was out with his uncle, learning to fly and suddenly while they were looping and doing twist and sharp turns, his uncle had...
"Can you imagine what life would be like if the humans were more like a dying breed and were on the endangered list of things that were about to become extinct?" It was never a matter of why or even when, it was more so that gut feeling that would turn your stomach into mush and filled with knots. It is one that I can never understand or truly know since I have only been alive for maybe four years, if that. I was not born like a human being, and I have no idea how to think or feel, much less know anything like a human. I, at first, had to al...
I was jealous of your newfound fortune and fame. Especially the fame part as you were nowhere before then you appeared magically like a rabbit being pulled out of a magician's top hat. You arrived on the scene and was planning on only being there for a short while or a hot minute. Then your plans changed with one word, "Money". You turned from shy and quiet, to loud, obnoxious and proud, where you started to see dollar signs and you were hooked. You found the attention to be a breath of fresh air. You were reeled in like a rewinded video cas...
The morning of the show started off as the other days had yet this one was slightly different, I was still not able to put my finger on it and that bothered me somewhat. I was the one who was a more behind the scenes person, never allowing my feelings to become involved with my mixed emotions and letting others ruin it for me. I was just another face behind the curtain that would maybe get my name in lights, to be the star for once. Then this morning started with a mistake made when I purchased my coffee, with a twist. It had two sugars in i...
To live in a world where you know you are, yet you know you are not. To have many friends that never actually met you or even know you exist. The ones who make you feel a part of something from a distance, and you sulk at the idea of even going to hang with them because you know you are not their friend, and you never will be. To never belong to any group or cliche, to never know where you stand with most, and they will talk about you as soon as you leave the room. The harsh whispers, the glares and stares of their beady eyes following you a...
