This week on the farm, February, part 1

Ok El Nino, so far I’m not all that impressed.

Sometime back in October, I remember sitting in my chair out by the pond thinking of the upcoming storms. An El Nino for the ages, disaster and catastrophe was just a series of black clouds away. As I sat there wringing my hands, thinking of all the things we needed to do on the farm to prepare, anxiety rose up in me like water boiling over.

My Road to Anicca Acres

My Road to Anicca Acres

November 2011 was an interesting month, in what was already an interesting year, for me. Just home from a military deployment to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, I touched-down in Cheyenne, Wyoming with my eyes toward San Diego but a whole-lot of baggage weighing me down. No one to greet me, no home to go to, even my means of transportation stuck some 100 miles away with my brother. A lot had happened over…

From the Songbook - Little Tornados

From the Songbook – Little Tornados

Originally written January 1, 2010

“I’ll be the man with the broom /If you’ll be the dust of the room /And there’s only so much you can hide/Before I corner you/Last day of magic/Put the whole ride through/ The eye of the storm/In a single room/My little tornado/My little hurricano” Last Day of Magic – The Kills

An old cowboy rides off into the sunset. Behind him, his life in all its glory has…

FTSB - The Day I Was Raped

FTSB – The Day I Was Raped

“Just lay your head back on the ground/And let your hair spill all around me/Offer up your best defense but this is the end/This is the end of the innocence”

End of the Innocence – Don Henley

Lets get this out of the way up front – when I was about five years old I was raped by a teenage boy. I couldn’t tell you his name. I never knew — we dubbed him the Major.

If this were a movie, right about…

FTSB – The Daily Grind

“Another morning and I’m awake/The same old thing but a different day/I want to drive but my tank is dry/But the ground is wet with rain/Greedy people are pushing me/Needy people in misery/It’s a push and shove community/But how the hell can I complain/On the other side of town/People are sleeping on the ground/Look not far and you will find/A tragedy, the daily grind”
