A NEW HOME
“Sweet child o’ mine,” my mama cried. She knew I had to leave. I was driving on Diamond Road, leaving Abilene had a hole in my pocket with a picture in my wallet. On my cell phone, my sister, Crystal said, “If it makes you happy. here It’s only love. Besides, a change will do you good.” I proclaimed, “All I wanna do is smile because I can’t cry anymore.” I didn’t say it, but I thought; it wasn’t a beautiful pain. It’s more like an ugly sore.

False Production
I was thinking of a few more things that posterity cannot do without yesterday morning. The best story I have written ever was a Junior High School piece titled Worm Man Versus The Criminals Of The Underworld. I am a big fan of the sexual abilities of these creatures; I liken myself to a worm and have been referred to derisively as having their basic characteristics. In fact a relative in law said that I personally do not need any one other person; seemingly a statement that could be interpreted in different ( perhaps some rather dark if not morbid ) ways. To present a balanced view of our non relationship, she in her almost late seventies will converse with me on the phone at most once a month for a very limited time lately.

The Earworm
Have you ever turned on the radio, or your favorite music app and a song came on that was just so catchy? A real banger of a tune? You listen to it and can't help to keep looking it up and play it on repeat until you've listened to it at least a hundred times or more? I know I definitely have! Out of nowhere, you have become victim to what is called the "earworm".

Count Your Blessings More And Your Curses Less
Life can be very hard at times, and sometimes we develop the habit of dwelling far too much upon what has befallen us. I must confess I am as guilty of this as the next person. However, this morning, sat in the mid morning sun on my customary perch on the porch, as I vacantly gazed at the field of green shoots of new spring crops on the farm next door, I felt somewhat more optimistic. It has been a hard year for me, as it no doubt has been for a great many others, and yet there has also been so much to be thankful for.

The Color of Noise
The colors of noise can be idealized similarly to the colors of a prism. White is the combination of all and black is a void of all. There is then the range in between. The color prism goes from red to violet and noise spectrum contains such colors as pink, blue and brown, all which affect listeners in different ways.

A STAR
A Star People walked past Philip as he kept singing and playing his guitar. Some dropped money to encourage him. Music has always been a part of Philip's life since he was little. He would always let people know he would be a star someday. As Philip kept playing his guitar, a man walked towards where he sat, he was a famous musician, but nobody could recognize him because he disguised himself to look different.

"Aaaaaand that wraps up another solid hour of power ballads from the boys with big hair here at WKWK! Wokka Wokka! Now, loyal listeners, it's time to mellow right on down to melancholy; you all know what's coming! After some messages from our sponsors, we'll be back with the bluuuues! Some of the good OLD stuff! Right from old Robert Johnson! Right after he sold his soul to the Devil himself, if you believe those old tales!"
