I yearn to have you splayed and vulnerable. Radiating pleasure like light from the sun. First, let state from the outset that I may not know what the fuck I am talking about. On the other hand I submit that some will find at least a measure of truth within these few short sentences. Simply [...]
…So quiet now. Soften yourself and listen. Connected and motionless.To the symphonic pulsing of our blood, the crash of an eyelid,the joyous trickle of a bead of sweat. Sooner or later, no matter how much you try to deny it, this moment will be your last. It’s the only punch line to this grand Cosmic Joke [...]
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. – Marianne Williamson, from: A Return to Love Every day, every waking moment, you desire to do many things, from hugging your lover to earning [...]
Year 3017 Can I tell you about the night I lost my mind????? I’d say it was a stormy night and all that jazz but it was actually a balmy summer evening that we met. She was unlike any woman I have ever known. She was an impossibility, compiled of all my lusts. Her [...]
My One and Only Nearly everyone I know is looking for the ’One’ and not all of them are single people either. The “One” is this elusive magical union that will make life so much more fulfilling just as soon as that ‘One’ person shows up. I used to look for the ‘One’ until I realized there were several potential ‘Ones’ rotating in my atmosphere at [...]

Last week after Pres. Obama’s made his “evolution” on gay marriage public, my initial thought was: great, now they’re going to say that Obama is gay, and all gay people are now going to vote for him because of it. You know, pretty much in the same way all black people voted for him in [...]
Apparently, in the state of Tennessee it’s perfectly legal to commit what’s known as highway robbery. However, if you expect such acts to the the undertaking of the obvious shady criminal element riding a horse and dressed in black as were the bad guys of the wild west, you’re sorely mistaken. Unlike the days of [...]
There is not a person in this country who does not know that the police engages in racial profiling. If a Black person says they are not aware of this practice, they are either not yet beyond the toddler stage of life, or being intentionally deceptive in hopes of receiving special considerations from the white [...]
As if Maricopa County, Arizona, Sheriff Joe Arpaio wasn’t bad enough, in steps Shaun Winkler, a white supremacist running for sheriff. As a Republican, Winkler hopes to become Bonner County, Idaho’s next sheriff. As anybody running for office will tell you, media attention is something welcomed and often sought by candidates.
