About Me

In a small suburb outside Cincinnati called Milford a 13 year old kid’s best friend dies. He wonders the streets and traces the trails that him and his comrade walked together after the funeral. He remembers the times they fought and the times they couldn’t even fathom an argument. He tries to remember the way it was before he felt so lost but he can’t. Somewhere along the way when the tears have stopped flowing and the wishes for different futures caused by actions he can’t take back have finally worn themselves out he remembers a guitar his friend used to play. The image of the "axe" sticks in his mind like feathers on tar. All the regret fades piece by piece into the background when he finally finds his own and gives it words. His friend is still gone but a piece of his dreams live on with those who knew him.Since that day nothing has comforted me more than my thoughts put into song and nothing gives me greater pleasure then when I can honor those who have passed and those who live on to share in that feeling. In the world I live in this life isn’t meant for us to be captive to the pains we cause ourselves or the losses that make us hurt. It’s meant to be living with a smile when we can and with friends who care. It’s meant to speak out against tyranny and make your voice heard when it’s needed. It’s meant to learn to love even when you want to do nothing but hate. From Here to Olympus it’s meant to make music.No need for Grace. I embrace this life on Earth.

The Joke Is On Me

   I thought someone was going to say something but instead they all just go back to whatever they were doing prior to my outburst as another joint, who knows how many in a string I've been ...

Memory

  Roots.  Roots.  Roots.  Some spread out endlessly long, others short and stubby like an amputated limb.  They branch off, intersect, and continue on like strands of hair.&...

Settling In

The first week at Dusty's place, much like Patrick's had been in a way, is pretty laid back.  I spend most of my free time outside of work playing Final Fantasy VII or Tekken to shut Dusty up whe...

The Times They Are A Changing

 Later in the week it seems I must have spent every day since hanging out with Dusty after work.  I've come to find his parent's are pretty nice people despite their biker past and my initia...

Conversating

Baby Teeth

  A mile down the road I'm out of breath and struggling for air.  I slouch down on the concrete covered in sweat and hating myself for being in such poor shape.   Billy jogs in place wi...

My Reality and Reality

What should I do?  I wonder frantically.  Should I say something to her?  Should I get up and kiss her?  How long can I continue to act like I'm sleeping and observe?  Does sh...
