I really don’t know how to start this… Thursday mourning. I had taken off work to take my mother to the doctor, she is dying of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). Her progression is advanced and everyday I am living my worst nightmare. So to say that I awoke with beaming positivity and a “Carpe’ […]
An Apology Letter to My Daughter…
I have never been one to regret, it has lead me to the person that I am today. And no matter what misfortune we endure that truth is self evident. With that being said, we should all be ashamed of the world that our children have been given. This is our greatest failure: Hello […]
Don’t Blame Trump…
Or President Obama for that matter. The shift to complete and utter self-serving pandemonium is a direct result of our susceptibility to influence. Life has become so regimented with technology and instant gratification that we are completely complicit with allowing our minds to being void of logic, which is the only real thing that separates us […]
America, and our Undiagnosed Inferiority Complex
I was hoping to feel something this morning. I was hoping that I would wake in anger, or fear, or solace. I was hoping for clarity. Instead I awoke to the same uninformed rhetoric that I went to bed to. The transfer of shear nonsense being transferred by “Americans” is truly… deplorable. We can […]
“BREAKING” HILLARY CLINTON AND DONALD TRUMP AGREE TO… (divide us, and pulverize what was left of our humanity)
We are tired. Anyone who has given any ounce of themselves to this election, is tired. We are tired of liars. We are tired of greed. Yet, we participate. We polarize, and we take part in the mudslinging and name calling, just like the candidates representing our “interests”. Families make idiots out of themselves […]
Apathetic Americana
How did we get here? Where was the shift? To say it was slight would be a substantial understatement. I spend everyday in a classroom. I interact with the future. I see the future. Like a social medium, I see things that I fear. I hear things that I know will lead to misfortune and anguish. […]
If I was an 8 bit Nintendo, I would hit reset.
Daily… daily I try and make sense of life. I try to understand why it seems that nothing makes any sense. How did we get here? How did I get here? We all make mistakes. Hopefully we learn from them. I know I have made mistakes, and have learned from them. But, I still […]
The Truth about the Failed State of West Virginia … Everyone needs to read this. #rememberinnovember
Source: REUTERS/Nate Chute How do I put this… West Virginia is a failed state. Last night, at midnight, the 82nd legislature of the state of West Virginia packed up its circus and went home. During this session, they essentially put the dagger in what was left of our unions, they abolished prevailing wage, tried to […]
Health Care is a Human Right…Always
When did it happen? What was the catalyst? Where were you when you when you decided that some people deserve to get care when they are sick and some people don’t? The healthcare privilege argument is nothing more than narcissistic elitism. In a world where we carry more technology in our pocket than we went […]
State of the State. Why West Virginia is just politics as usual.
As I listened to governor Earl Ray Tomblin lay out the current state of our blessed West Virginia, I couldn’t help but to give myself a headache from the constant eye rolling that was permeating the energy of my living room. As the teleprompter rolled, and the accolades spewed forth toward the token West Virginians […]
