Your pants, my friend, are indeed on fire!

It has become quite clear to me that people lie. And before this turns into an atheist’s confessional I will get this over with and say that I have lied and recently; I lied to my daughter about coming back to her bedroom and laying down with her… she fell asleep and I was off [...]

Picture Book…

The death of Michael Jackson marked the beginning of a personal photo project, a simple P.O.V. “thing” that makes me believe I am more important than the average creature. I am, just ask my kids… not my son, he’ll drool on you! And so, the idea is to look back on these as I have [...]

To start over and to look back sinister…

I cannot shake the past any more than I can look towards the future with relentless enthusiasm. I refuse to believe that everything that has happened to me was just random, personally, it has been a matter of surprise and reasonable joy that has guided through most of the decisions I have made within the [...]

Random

If I fell in love more than once it was only because I met the other by chance. If I wore heels and made my face it was only because the memory needed painting. If I laughed too hard, slowed the wine, waited to call, or wrote a story it was only because it happened [...]

… and it dawned on me!

I just finished reading this amazing article from the Huffington Post written by John Mellencamp. Read it!
“My understanding is that someone is listening to what I like, to what my friends like… I mean, they like Sonic Youth too!” -me @ seventeen.
I realize the difficulty of having to please everyone and yet, easy enough to [...]

A- for accountability

Sleeping is for sissies… eating is for grazing cows… dreaming is for sleeping, when we rather rest…
We change when we grow up and when we fall in love, when we move to another town and when we become parents. Knowing this does not make the process any easier and while we expect it, drops like [...]

“That’s what she said”

“Why is this so hard?”
I now understand how important confidence is. Nah, I’m kidding, I have always known! My son will be a month old this Friday, while my daughter on occasion believes she’s Peter Pan. If I never wanted to be the type that spoke about her children in every conversation, at least I [...]

Someone’s life… in stages

My name is Mills and I used to write. What made me stop? Pure laziness and physical drain. Through life and what happens, through the truth and consequence, we have decided to resume. And to the best of my abilities I will do so. I miss this all and I wish all of you to [...]

Argument and pretty people

I reject the idea that two plus two equals four, there, I said it. I also reject the concept of dying flowers and the change of the seasons. A few people have rejected the concept of me, or just me entirely. It is never a surprise when it happens, but that never really cushions the [...]

I refuse to be bitter… and other lies we tell ourselves

People tell me it’s a sin,
To know and feel too much within. -Bob Dylan’s “Simple Twist of Fate”
Grow up! Enough of this mess and the excuses you have been making, for people parasitic and cruel. Enough of being afraid, worried about things you have no control over. As individuals, free even when honored, there’s that [...]
