My One and Only Friend…
clearly this is indeed my opportunity to illuminate the pain and/or suffering I am supposed to be feeling right now within my words of art or poetry. it should be time to create a maudlin lil’ senryu of sadness and human failure. but dig, I just want my ID back. and my screwdriver. the rest, […]
1st-4-Life and LDP
Distance equals space. As God requires space, God creates it. As children of God, we do the same, creating our space or our distance as required, either tangibly, in terms of feet or miles, or intangibly, in terms of aloofness and silence. This is our connection to the heavens, not a book, not words, not […]

Tow Trucks Suck

and this may shock you…but you think I haven’t noticed? I am more saddened than shocked. It hit me hard, of course, but it wasn’t quite like the blast of cold that slaps you when you first jump into the lake in January…its like being in the water as it slowly turns to ice…my skin […]

Criminal Law. 3:12 PM.
There are those who ask question after question, merely because they don’t understand a particular legal issue…I have been there. Sometimes, the black letter law just fails to take root. That’s not the case here. Time after time, class after class, case after case, his hand goes up. We have all seen them before. Everyone […]
Grrr
Go ahead. Play like you don’t care. Don’t return my calls until weeks later? Fine. Act like an ass because that bothers me? Sure. Just generally be aloof and pretend like you don’t give a damn? Cool. But don’t bitch and moan because you think you belong where you don’t. You were special in my […]

Hair Cuttery
Barbershop. Six black men, one black woman. Two barbers, and one half of the ownership present – the Van, but not the Frank. There is something I love about the barbershop…my grandfather was a barber, though I had only been to his shop once or twice, but something about the smell of Barbasol that always […]
