It’s the start of another new year and I must say, the stroke of midnight was as anticlimactic as it possibly could have of been.  This past year for my wife and I has been somewhat of what most would say a nightmare, the hope of a better year lies before us, the hope of a better life is my dream or dare I say my goal.  I have many things I would like to accomplish before I leave this mortal existence, but the clock is ticking ever so fast and it seems like Read the rest of this entry »

Once again life has taken me away from my writing, originally I had planned on posting at least twice a week, but as I said, life has sidetracked me once again.  My last post was at the end of June but I’m back once more.  As you already know due to the title I am once again focusing on the topic of bullies.  I really wish I did not feel I had to write about these gutless cowards but they must be exposed so the world can see them for what they really are.  I can’t use there names at this point but they know who they are and so does everyone else.  In my previous post about bullies, “Bullies Part I” I spoke of a person very dear to me, her name is Gwen.

It has taken me a few days to decide how I would approach the subject of the life and death of Michael Jackson.  First I would like to send my condolences to Michael’s family, friends and fans.  I was once a fan of Michaels, I was a fan of the Michael that graced us in the 70’s and 80’s, not the Michael who left us this past Thursday.   When I heard about his death I wasn’t totally surprised, it seemed to me the way his life had Read the rest of this entry »

Bul-ly  [bool-ee] -noun

– a blustering, quarrelsome, overbearing person who habitually badgers and intimidates smaller or weaker people.

Bullies, I don’t even know where to begin, this subject brings out the worst in me, or the best in me, depending on how I am feeling at the present time.  If I am in the “Light” as you might say, I try to let my feelings of hatred and anger go by the wayside, which can be very frustrating.  But if I’m, as it is referred to, on the “Dark Side” I will let my feelings grow into a Read the rest of this entry »

This post is for one reason only, and that is to pay tribute to my father-in-law who pasted away on Monday, March 30th.  He was a generous, honorable, compassionate man with very high morals and an even higher value for integrity.  He was a hard working man who loved his family, his friends, the Volunteer Fire Department, (which he was a member of for 66 years) and The New York Yankees.  He gave his all and then some and never expected anything in return.  Anyone who had the opportunity of crossing paths with him during their lifetime always walked away a better person.  He was one of a kind and he will be truly missed by my wife, myself  and the countless people who had the pleasure of knowing him.

First and foremost I decided to push myself and launch this blog today to honor my grandfather.  Tootie as everyone called him would’ve been 92 years old today, he passed on 12 years ago.  I won’t get into the details of his life today, but someday in the future.  All I would like to say is that I miss him, plain and simple.  Now on to the real issue, how we die.
