I’ve been tasting the plants in my garden a lot lately. All winter long I watched a mustard plant turn into a monster plant, but I had no idea what it tasted like. A couple of days ago I thought that the plant is so big that me taking a bite out of it isn’tContinue reading “To the Monks Among us”

Well wishes might as well wish might
I’ve started writing this at 2:22 pm, I don’t know if I’ve mentioned that there should be a word for the magical effect of when numbers align on the time. Maybe there’s already a word, but even as kids I remember saying something like, “2:22 make a wish”. Why did the clock offer magical powersContinue reading “Well wishes might as well wish might”
Start stabbing a starship with a Mars tip
Today has been a lovely morning. Last night it started to rain, we slept with the curtains open so I could hear it better. When I woke up this morning it was still raining and I got to sleep in because Mary doesn’t have work today. The only way this morning could have been betterContinue reading “Start stabbing a starship with a Mars tip”
Blasting by these full-bodied beats
Happy April 20th to all those who celebrate it. I actually spent some time cutting down trees this morning. There were some branches that were leaning on my shed, I think it actually caused part of the shed to rot and now it leaks. I wanted to get rid of those branches to increase theContinue reading “Blasting by these full-bodied beats”
You used to use your yelling for yoking yonder younglings
This is my time, the words are given to me and I must let go of them. I just got back from the back yard with Mary and I’m about to have some pizza. This morning I planted my three sisters(corn, pole green beans, and squash) in the rest of the garden. I wanted toContinue reading “You used to use your yelling for yoking yonder younglings”
Wet Willy wielding a wicked one
I’ma say what I got to say. The spirit is rising, there may be obstacles to block the flow, but I’ll find a way. There’s a famous interview with Bruce Lee where he’s saying to be like water. If water is in a round cup, the water is round; it becomes the cup. After seeingContinue reading “Wet Willy wielding a wicked one”
Allergies allegedly grieve a great alligator
Yesterday I got a message from my first best friend. He fell into hard drug towards the end of high school and I hadn’t talked to him since then, but he’s good now. I don’t know what to make of it all. First thing he did was apologize for the way things went. I understandContinue reading “Allergies allegedly grieve a great alligator”
Americans are Tea Tossing Tiger Trainers
I can’t stay long today, I’ve got to start this movie. I’m going to watch SLC Punk, I was thinking it is one of the most influential movies of my life. It’s like my guilty pleasure, because at my core I’m a punk. There was one time a bouncer tried to throw me out forContinue reading “Americans are Tea Tossing Tiger Trainers”
Fiery Fever for few and far between
I got dressed up to write this today, not that it matters to the reader. Contrary to what most people’s believe, bloggers don’t wear full suit and tie to work. I wouldn’t classify myself as a blogger though. I’m often opposed to anyone giving me a label. What would my political stance be labeled as?Continue reading “Fiery Fever for few and far between”
Cheap Meat and Bird Words
Thank you Mary for today’s title. Today has been down right groovy. Although it did start off a little rough. After getting my wife’s breakfast ready, I fell back asleep and had a sleep paralysis dream. This is the second one I’ve had lately and it makes me feel like everyday I’m treading for waterContinue reading “Cheap Meat and Bird Words”
