There Is Always Beauty
Some things happen inexplicably. Sometimes they are things we can’t control, other times they are the consequences of our actions. Each one is beautiful and terrible in its own regards, but no matter how beautiful or tragic they are, these things happen for a reason – each with a very specific purpose. Sir Isaac Newton […]
We’re All Just Zombies – We Need A Little Warmth
It’s cheesy, I can’t deny that, but truthfully it’s a movie that everyone needs to watch. This week there has been a lot of talk about love. With the SCOTUS ruling on gay marriage the cry of, “love always wins” broke out in support of gay rights nationwide. Of course, it was met with criticism […]
The American Warrior
Some have given all and all have given some. It is a brotherhood – a bond forged in fire, tested in blood, and defined not by ones love for self, but ones love for others. Someone once said, “the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.” While the […]
Always There
It was a deep pain. The kind that cuts straight to your heart. It was just as much painful as it was gut wrenching. How many times would it take? How many lessons would I need to learn? It seemed like the same thing, over and over again, yet no matter what I did it […]
The Devil Inside You
Tony Stark watched his greatest fear become reality – or so he thought. Giant flying machines, worldwide destruction, and the death of the Avengers. As he watched the nightmare scene unfold Stark walked towards the corpses of his slain friends. His face registered shock when Captain America reached up and grabbed him and demanded to […]
A Mirror View – Of Me And You
The idea of having already met my soul mate just seems crazy to me. It’s been a year and a half since I seriously dated anyone. A year and a half of growing psychically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. A year and a half of trying to sort through this overwhelming world while trying to figure […]
One Life – More Dreams
John Monroe stood awkwardly on the ledge of the 10 story parking garage. His dark clothing blended into the shadows making him practically invisible, but he was used to that. He was used to feeling invisible. One night a week he made his way to the garage. He would park on the bottom level and […]
Bridging That Gap
I found in you what I lost in me. Most of us have felt that void; the hole or chasm where something should be but it’s not. Some people spend a lifetime trying to fill that void by investing in hobbies or friendships. They go from situation to situation, person to person, and thing to […]
Carrying The Load – I Need Your Help
To die for ones country is to live for freedom. At some point we moved from memorials to parties. Somewhere along the way we got distracted by cookouts and beer, friends and vacation, and lake houses and boats. Somehow a day meant to honor and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom […]
Dear Dad: I learned my lesson
I was excited but not too excited. I had done my due diligence, researched prices, read reviews, I thought I was ready, and that’s when I got too excited. I overlooked fine print, focused on the end result instead of the present cost, and rushed through the piles of paperwork. My dad had warned me. I […]
