End.
A chapter has ended in my life and I couldnāt be more thrilled. Nervous? Slightly, but thatās because I saw the murky light at the end of the corporate middle-management tunnel and there was a wheelbarrow half-full of money glowing in stink flies. āAll you have to do to get that money is shake the Devilās calloused claw and sign on the dotted line; in blood, of course. Oh, and ā¦ just the tip, thatās all. Promise.ā Nothing is free. Thereās a trade-off for everything. Itās ignorant of the peasant to think he could impress the King enough to befriend him and even more sloppy to think his new friend…

There’s a War Going On(line) No Prolife is Safe From
Hunter S. Thompson feared the worst on January 20th, 2005. He countlessly warned against the re-election of the baby orangutan for president, George W. Bush Jr., as it would clearly mark the end of days. A societal breakdown at free-falling speeds. The end of hope. Bang. I dealt with the letdown by beginning a politically-charged blog surging with accusatory allegations, cocaine fueled conspiracyās and the cursory language of a man who drank himself into a tormenting psychosis. I became consumed. Obsessed. Thousands of words a night. Unfiltered, rarely edited free-thought. Kerouacās alcoholic spirit stuttered my sentences longer than a rock tossed towards a stage at an Antifa disruption. Outlandish allegation…

Was Trump’s G7 Temper Tantrum A Manipulative Tactic of Power Posturing Ahead of North Korean Meeting?
President Trumpās latest Twitter tantrum after the G7 meeting in Quebec, Canada raised my conspiracist eyebrows in a weed-hazed wonder; has Trump truly gone rogue by igniting a trade war with his closest allies only days before his meeting with the world’s most concerning and unstable leader; North Korea Prime Minister, Kim Jong-un? Or has Trumpās trolling reached the Kanye West Scoop de Woop level of LARPing? What strikes me as odd is that for the last week there has been non-stop coverage on NPR and CBC Radio about Trumpās vocalized disinterest in attending the annual G7 summit.Ā He had bigger, more important things to do. Thereās also been endless…

welcum to bj draKe
I’m an introvert and I need my alone time. But, I’m also a father, now. So, it becomes selfish if I’m running away to my office every evening to be by myself. Especially when I’m coming up empty handed. “Were you jerking off downstairs?” my wife asks me every single night as I crawl into bed. “No” I reply, half-guilty. “Then what were you doing down there?” she says, as she breathes deep trying to smell if there is a hint of you’re lying in the air. “I wrote, babe. You know that.” “You should’ve written the Harry Potter chronicles by now,” she mumbles, “oh wait, you are Harry Potter,…
