FINDING RELIGION

The pursuit of knowledge and wisdom is basically human and neverending.  We can seek a leprechaun with his magical lucky charms or try to run the voodoo down by the bayou.  False icons can not replace science but science must beat with a human heart.  Existential struggles remain.  The learned astronomer doth proclaim the way if we’re willing toContinue reading “FINDING RELIGION”

THE OLD NORTH STAR BAR

The old North Star bar was a true legend.  It stood on 27th and Poplar.  It was far enough away from Center City to be off the beaten path.  They had the main bar on the first floor and a room upstairs to host poetry readings.  They had readings every Tuesday and it became a place to go for poets.  GregoryContinue reading “THE OLD NORTH STAR BAR”

TRASH TALKING CONVENIENCE STORES

You look forward to it all morning.  But first you must go into Wawa and procure your turkey and Swiss hoagie.  You make sure the hot peppers are in a container to the side.  As a matter of honor, you get both regular hot peppers and Jalapeno peppers.  Then you exit the store and set up shop.  Your effects canContinue reading “TRASH TALKING CONVENIENCE STORES”

MICRO BRAWLERS

So now I am the proud owner of an Abdullah the Butcher micro brawler.  I’m sure many will question why a grown man needs to own such a toy.  They tell me that it’s a child’s toy but it did seem like something that would make my life just a little bit less oppressive.  Can’t I be youngContinue reading “MICRO BRAWLERS”

NAKED GUY

You’re just trying to have a good time enjoying the music.  They tell you that all the crazies like to congregate on the field in a quasi mosh pit of sweat and flesh.  A few of the crazy manage to work their way up to the nosebleed section to shatter your tranquil peace.  Hey, you’re at Citi FieldContinue reading “NAKED GUY”

POET SLAP FIGHTS AND ASS KISSING

We are getting snippy and contentious anymore.  It doesn’t seem like anyone can have any fun anymore.  So we have poets declaring on their posts that ass kissing doesn’t belong in poetry.  Hmmm, I initially misread the post and thought he wrote ass kicking.  I was thinking to myself that I can see room for both.  Sometimes you do haveContinue reading “POET SLAP FIGHTS AND ASS KISSING”

CHRISTIAN YOUTH HOSTEL

Amsterdam is always a wild town with interesting twists and turns.  Part of the Red Light District wraps around an old church.  They have a Christian youth hostel that is located right next door to a Thai massage parlor.  I accidentally walked in the wrong door.  Next thing I know, people are handing me a Bible and praying forContinue reading “CHRISTIAN YOUTH HOSTEL”
