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!

It Was My Fingers Who Said It

 What can I say?
I knew it would be a long hard fought battle to stay motivated.
Nothing comes easy in life for a person who likes to take the road less traveled.
It is the price we pay to have adventures for our souls.
Some just push the boundaries to their right,
some to their left.
Some never push at all.
True thinkers
and doers blast right up the middle.
Head strong.
If they get knock down because of it,
they get right back up,
dust their clothes off,
and hit the ground running.
You are never defeated until you quit.
Not getting up
and knocking down your obstacles
or whatever is holding you back,
is quitting.
Giving up on life.
Believing something is futile before you even try tells me that you are already defeated.
You swim in the shallow end of the pool.
Afraid that an undertow will take you to the deep end
and you won't be able to return to your complacency.
Failing is not the end of the world,
giving up is.
They say the only sure things in life are death
and taxes.
But they are wrong.
If you are alive,
there must have been a birth.
If you have youth,
someone has tried to educate you because you are able to speak.
If you are an adult,
you are expected to work.
Work for your survival.
After your life's work is done,
you are expected to die.
To make room for the next birth.
So the four sure things in life,
if you are alive,
are;
Birth, School, Work, Death.
Just like that band from the 90's
The Godfathers
said in their song.
Except,
I would like to add one word to that list.
Living.
It takes a lot of
Living
between
Birth & Death
to have a
Life.

And,

 “Italians have a little joke, that the world is so hard a man must have two fathers to look after him, and that's why they have godfathers.”
- Mario Puzo, -

That is my story and I am sticking to it!
