Life Is A Bottle Of Water


Reflecting upon a childhood that brought many challenges accompanied by many rewards. I often take issue with the state in which we all live. I mean there are many other things to address but as I watched people walk down the street with water bottles I had an epiphany. Whatever happened to turning on the garden hose or the kitchen faucet for a drink of water? Now it’s all about bottled water and to some the Sam’s club brand is just not good enough. There is a bottle of water that sells for $40 a bottle. I don’t know about you but that is a little over my budget. Do you realize that sales are in the billions for something that used to be virtually free? And to think I use to get scolded for taking too long of a shower. This is just a small example of the world today. Times are changing and have just about passed some of us up. Oh, by the way, I like bottled water also; I just don’t like to pay for it. I am curious to know how you feel about the way the times have changed for better or worse.

The Darkness



I sit alone in the darkness
Alone on the edge of sanity
People pass by like time
Blinded solely by shades
All roads lead to darkness

Double Standard


I was sitting in front of the idiot box and I felt myself progressively getting angrier and angrier. Why? I am watching the highlights of Baylor’s Brittney Griner dominate Tennessee. I think back just a few weeks ago when I see this same Brittney Griner dominate in another way. But that time it was more like Friday night fights. Yes, in a girl’s collegiate basketball game Brittany Griner punched and broke another girl’s nose. Her punishment was a stern and deathly two game suspension. This allows us to be entertained by her on this day. I usually don’t get affected by things like this and maybe that’s because I have seen it before. With all the violence in all sports, was this “female athlete” given a pass? I am not saying that she deserved a stiffer sentence because I am a male. I am purely stating this because I am human.
