The Making of a Millionaire
The Making of a Millionaire
Back in the mid 1960âs, a naive young man walked into a strange home. Strange because it had a large multicolored star* hanging in the porch. He knocked on the door and soon the door opened. A tall rubenesque lady opened the door and instructed him to sit anywhere in the dark living room filled with religious kitsch. There were two dogs playing with a rubber bone but the house smelled fresh. SoonâŠ

Inside my C-Boat,
Just like a U-boat except Iâm not at sea.
It is my car boat; where I can see . . .
You.
Numerous specimens walking,
Not worrying; unprotected.
I see how they round off their days.
Theyâve given up.
Que sera, sera. Whatever will be.\
Theyâre done. Isolation is too much.
Too boring regardless.
âLetâs walk. Maybe we can salvage us.â
Maybe not. A sad story.

The New Age of Valoom (excerpt)
Humanity had dwindled to a mere few curious survivors with their leashed pets in the last few days of the epoch which exploited the conveniences of excessive freedoms. It was then that the resilient had re-encountered a trait which had vanished as quickly as animal instinct: righteousness. Economics and politics were no longer prioritized and those who remained craved human interactionâŠ

Elton Has Entered the Building
Elton Has Entered the Building
Elton is staring at me. I donât know if heâs grateful for my water offering or if heâs analyzing me. Maybe Elton is from a different world light years away and has chosen me as his personal specimen. He is, after all, supremely intelligent by being able to put disturbing thoughts into my head:
Will I be in the receiving end of horrific news or will I be the target? Itâs hard to believe how theâŠ

This edition of the Strange Worldis about the trials and tribulations on becoming someone. In my case, it refers to either finishing my M.A. on Creative Writing and becoming a college/university adjunct professor (because I canât deal with non-adults at the moment) and/or becoming an established fiction writer (one who sells at least 14 copies of any publication).âŠ

Let me start off by possibly offending you: âPolitical correctness is a mental sickness.â It is censorship of free speech. Is it offensive to some? Yes. But there are MANY things that are offensive to me that no one gives a fuck about. So who gets to determine what should be banned and what should be accepted? Personally, I donât give a ratâs ass about the criteria used. I am not orâŠ

It seems to me that catastrophe follows me whenever I go on a road trip. This phenomenon occurs whether itâs a simple trip to Cocoa Beach or a pilgrimage to seek out the infamous wood chipper used in the movie âFargoâ in North Dakota. This is especially disturbing because I am a fiction writer whose influences include David Lynch, Thomas Ligotti, Albert Camus, H.P. Lovecraft, and Franz Kafka. InâŠ

NEW WAVE IS 40 YEARS OLD
NEW WAVE IS 40 YEARSÂ OLD
 Something exciting would occur every twenty more or less years in the world of music. The 1920âs introduced blues and jazz to the mainstream. The 1940âs had the Big Bands. The 1960âs, probably the most versatile decade in music, had the teen idols, girl groups, popular folk, the British Invasion, and psychedelic music. The last of these eras occurred in 1980 when New Wave became the standard.

Controversy is good publicity
Controversy is good publicity
Itâs been a while since Iâve written on my blog. There are many reasons for this. First, Iâve been busy writing stories. It is not easy writing in an unconventional way when you are surrounded by . . . well, conventionalism. This is not me. I am not one among the billions. Life is not supposed to be a routine which begins when you are âsupposedâ to be part of the rat race. This has affected myâŠ

Some of you may be wondering whatever happened to my blogs. In a nutshell, I feel Iâm not receiving the response I had anticipated. Additionally, I believe comedy should be kept to a minimum since it becomes stale quickly. Because of this, I will tackle more serious matters in the near future with my postings. To be truthful, the main problem here is time. There are countless issues on my plateâŠ

DOCTOR VISIT & ELIMINATING EXAGERRATED MISCONCEPTIONS, Pt. 1
Last Friday, I had an appointment with a new doctor. This is always a problem for me for numerous reasons. First and foremost, I hate doctors because of my past experiences with them. Secondly, I have to pay for everything. I lost my insurance in my last job because of the required ACA imposed on corporations. I worked for a small company which was already going under so my healthcare was axedâŠ

Diet Walking and Imaginary Creatures
Itâs no secret that I am continuously trying to lose weight. Not because Iâm obese and may get contracted to do a cameo on the New Zoo Revue 2018 or anything like that. Itâs that my family members have a tendency to be on the heavy side (hmmâŠmaybe thatâs why theyâre all dead). Donât get me wrong. I wouldnât mind being a hippo or a cow (oops, gender change) if it wasnât for the insects. I couldnâtâŠ

This is not your typical post. This is just to update all thatâs going on. . .
My diet is going slow. I believe why Iâm losing weight slowly this time around is the excessive amounts of flavored creamers. At 35 calories a teaspoon, I am indulging on about 320 calories per coffee. Multiply that by 4 and you have 1280 calories on coffee a day. Luckily, Iâm walking an average of 12,000 steps a day.
