Sit the F*ck Down Somewhere
While this passage doesn’t exactly sum up my feelings, it did get me thinking about my success. I am generally, genuinely happy for people who are doing well (in what I want to do).

lighten up
For those who really know me, know that I have learned to work: and love it. I get it earnestly from my father and grandfather. I watched those two men work hard, so I am the exact same way. My lady often tells me to “go sit down somewhere”, because I’m always working on something…

Birds of a feather….
There’s a strange occurrence in my life: I have friends. Before you think I’m going nuts, just hear me out. I had a complex for much of my life: I thought that no one could out-give me, out of my group of friends. Honestly, I felt like no one could love like I could, and…

Hi. My name is Herbie.
I have been amazed at so many things this summer. I’ve done things that I had put off doing for quite a while. I’ve done other things that I never thought I’d do. As a result, I’ve left myself vulnerable to a host of new experiences. There’s a common thread through it all. It’s called…

Kyrie Eleison
Kyrie Eleison is latin, meaning: “Lord, have mercy.” So, I got up this morning with a few things that I wanted to get done today. I was preparing for an 11 o’clock appointment and was moving steadily around the house. About 10:30 or so, I grabbed my phone to check my messages. As I clicked…

I don’t like myself
I’m sitting here, at my “New-new” writing spot, across from my back up spot, IHOP. Shhh! Please don’t tell her that I’m being an infidel. LOL. Hey, even writing spots need some side action, right? Oh c’mon, it was a joke, for crying our loud! It’s amazing, because I’m here at Starbucks, which is a…
