About Me

My photo
Hello my fellow Politiores Troglodytes. This Blog is a collection of Posts, Poems, & Short Stories that I write on a daily basis. If you find it entertaining, informative, and controversial, then I have done my job properly. Thank goodness too, because Karma has been on my case of late. I'm supposed to bring fifty people into the fold or I'll have to give back the part of Einstein's brain I inherited. No, I'm not one of the Scientists who got a piece of his brain when he died. Karma said, "Eat this knowledge. It'll make you smarter!" The bargain I made with Karma was, if I could change fifty people into Politiores Populos, I would be rewarded with my very own Lamborghini. So, that's my story and I'm sticking to it! Like what you're reading, then read on. P.S. Populo is Latin for people. Politiores is Latin for educated. Troglodytes is English for troglodytes. And Einstein's brain was stolen by Thomas Stoltz Harvey after his death in 1955 and eventually divvied up into 240 pieces. If you just read that last sentence, then you have just learned something and I'm just that much closer to fulfilling my commitment to Karma!

Everyone Is Addicted

Why is this happening?
I have been a pillar of the community for over ten years now.
Not once, as a History teacher or as the high school girls basketball coach, have I ever been so tempted, in all my life.
I don't know what it is?
I don't know why I can't get it out of my head.
I have a wife of 15 years.
I have two boys, ages 14 and 11.
I have a home, fine clothes, a nice car, and a good job at the school.
Do I really want to risk it all for a lust I cannot control?
Who do I talk to?
If I say anything to anyone, I could lose my job as the girls coach and as a teacher.
When I took the job, I was warned.
Hands off.
Don't even think of flirting with the idea.
But how can I not have desires?
If I give into my temptation, won't my career and family life be over?
Risk it all, everything I have worked for, for a moment of pleasure?
But maybe I can make that pleasure last?
Maybe I could make it work somehow?
There are other places I can work, if need be.
My wife will divorce me, of course, taking the kids, the house, probably the car, everything!
But, I don't care.
I need it.
Deep down inside me, I have a lust I cannot hide any longer.
I must have it!

"Ryan," says a commanding voice. "Are you going to order or what? You are holding up the line."
"I will have a cup of coffee and a box of donuts," I tell the proprietor.
"Ryan, your wife has been in here asking me not to serve you anymore. She says you are eating your way into an early grave. What am I going to say to her?"
"Tell her, that you make the best donuts in the world and I am addicted to them!"

This is,
What Did You Think I Was Talking About?
Everyone Is Addicted To Coffee
And Donuts!

That is my story and I am sticking to it!
