I didn’t grow up with a swear jar in the house. But I knew better than to curse at home. I didn’t really curse at school either. I was a nerdy nerd. I was as happy go lucky as possible in the context of poverty, crime and despair. […]
All those moments will be lost in time…like tears in rain…time to die.–dying replicant Roy Batty It’s been raining non-stop in Los Angeles and the sky surely seems like it is crying and the inhabitants have no idea what to do. I took a walk in the rain […]
To say that there’s a bit of strife in the United States these days would probably be an understatement. The country has held. The news media alerts us to this division every second. So much so that they appear to relish it. Anything for ratings, I suppose. At […]
