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 [...]

Today’s Undertaking…

by M. Ward
A mighty voice
From out the clouds
To me announced
Today’s undertaking
He said go build a song
40 heartbeats long
And sacrifice it
For your love
So this one comes from
High above
There have been other songs
From out these strings
But they came out wrong
Don’t be mistaken
But this one comes from
High above
Yeah this one is dedicated to [...]

Broken up into pieces, easier to chew

The Sleep Nazi

I have this problem and today, five minutes ago, I realized how serious it is. For someone who rarely sleeps, I happen to be very particular about others around me -especially my little girl- getting their so-called eight hours. Sometimes it happens to be ten, that’s my magic number on how many hours she should [...]

12345…

My daughter… this kid’s amazing and more often than not, the cure for my ills. But lately she has been testing me as well, we have been spending too much time together and I now understand she doesn’t “hate me.” We have the tantrums, the speed-running, and the repeating of every single word that comes [...]
