Grief sucks. I’m going to go over a little bit of what happens when you have to say goodbye forever to someone you love. First, a bit of context. Shock. I lost my kid. Well, I didn’t exactly lose him. Horror. I know where he is. I hardly ever go there. There’s something disturbing about…

Hell In A Handbasket
That’s where the whole world is headed. I was standing in my bathtub hanging curtains that didn’t quite match my newly painted walls when I realized I’m scared. Don’t try to reason that out. It is what it is. I don’t know what’s wrong with people today, but I know for sure something is. It’s…
How do you handle life when everything goes wrong?

You, The Kids, a Smoke, and a Coke
One man’s journey through addiction JOHNNY’S STORY “I guess I finally decided to tell my story to somebody who would write it down pretty much like I said it. Before I get too deep in it though, I better set the record straight, in case it comes out somehow and you catch on to me….
