Boot Camp Was Boot Camp… eh?

My experience wasn’t horrific. We did have a run in with a lie about a brownie because one of our division would not flirt back with another person in a different division, so they lied we stole a brownie. We were all drilled for 3 hours, a puddle of sweat underneath us until the truth…

First Day Onboard Ship

Tell us about your first day at something — school, work, as a parent, etc. Advanced school after boot camp had ended about 6 months since I left. There I stood on the pier, the wind sliced like ice swords. Pushing my way onboard I request permission to board. The checkin process was smooth, getting…

A stage in the desert

Have you ever performed on stage or given a speech? When I was stationed in a country named Djibouti I played Green Day songs in a talent show with some random Marines on the same stage a year before Robin Williams performed on. You can find a short clip by searching for Robin Williams at…

Think of Sumthin

Together they hanged, All together alone, Each hundreds of miles apart, Screens aflare with gun fire, As they hanged about, Each alone firing their weapons, Aliens dying in masses, As laser after blaster fires in return, Missions won, Treasures stolen, All afire as they, Sit, doing a lot, While trying to, Think of Sumthin, To…

Friends Hand in Hand

Maturity shines through my smile, Today I stepped out into the sun, It wasn’t a gray day anymore, Today my life has a reason to smile, I’m surrounded by friends, Near me is my love, Next to me after is my dog, You are always close, friends, A bit of this and a lot of…

Talking god

Ever feel as if that voice is just hinting away, Those conversations are too close, That you hear inspiration behind words, People thousands of miles apart saying the same thing, Or is it the moment, The world is in chaos, Is it the wild turbulance, Driving the, “no atheists in foxholes” event, We stand looking…

I would change this about myself…

What is one thing you would change about yourself? As I believe gods make all things as they see fit to give challenge to life, there is nothing I would care to change about myself. I do not want to miss my reward for good or negative for facing my challenge.

Pop-Ice-Burgs

Notes of crisp amber sugar, Carmalized notes flick off the tongue, Bursting with bubbly deliciousness, As wave after wave, of sugary goodness, Washes down my parched throat, Quenching thirst and sugary desire, As the amber cola, Swirls around the ice, Crashing against the glass, Encasing its wobbly state, As drink after drink, Extinguishes its exquisite…

Eat if you like

What are your feelings about eating meat? The world moves as the world wills. My thoughts on what another eats, is like telling a person what god to worship.

The ghostly ring

Rings… ring… ring… Charges the telephone, Hanging on lonely wall, Bring… ding… lonely ring… Not a soul to hear, Haunted call by lonesome man, Calling into oblivion, The lonely phone, Hanging by a thread, There on lonely, Deserted farm road, Under buzzing halo, Ring… ringing… you.
