Hard Times What Next

I’m at a pivot point. Post 365 published last week. My normal is somewhere near disaster. Each time I think this time, this thing that has kicked off, will be the end of me. Not yet. Some day, sure. We all have an end. That what next is certain. It’sContinue Reading

This is 365. It is a victory for me. The oldest post, Define Poor was published January 6th, 2016; two days before the apocalypse. Angry Creamsicle stole HRH Queen Billary’s rightful seat at the Resolute Desk. The Champions of Democracy lost a major battle in their civil war against PEEOTUS.Continue Reading

French Jail

Boundaries are not something well respected in a toxic family. One of the coping styles is placating. Children of addicts will sometimes try to appease the addict by apologize or do whatever is demanded. Boundaries are not a thing for children who choose to cope by appeasement.

Carrion Beatle Arraignment

Grievance is key for American Maoists. Grievance nearly took me out. I had beef with a long list of enemies. At the top of the list was her, my son’s mother. If it wasn’t for her I wouldn’t be on probation. She is the reason I have to do weekendContinue Reading

Come to Papa

That Come to Papa moment. Yes, I know, it’s “Come to Jesus” but some of my readers flop into convulsions on the mention of Him. Papa is a nephew of Ojiisan. His English name is William (Bill). Bill is inside on card counting charges. Ojiisan is upset so Bill getsContinue Reading
