The Courage To Write As Our True Selves

A Commitment To Authenticity — “The tigers have found me and I do not care.” — Charles Bukowski One of my favorite quotes. And for years, I misunderstood it. The old me: Hey, I’m a tough guy. The tigers have shown up and I’m holding my ground. They can’t chase me off, ’cause I’m all in. I’m a writer and this is my journey. After refining my process…

All-Points Bulletin to the Medium Preachers, Experts, and Gurus

Enough already — you’re not all that — I’ve been fed up lately and tired of rolling my eyes. It seems like I’m seeing more and more how-to articles on Medium. How to get curated, how to go viral, how to pick and trick the algorithm codes like a safecracker. The second part of this has also gotten…

The Zach Wilson Conundrum

How Did the Jets (and Most of Us) Seem to Get it Wrong? — Gone are the days when rookie quarterbacks, regardless of their pedigree, were given the keys to the kingdom. ‘Back in the day’ — the 70s and 80s, they were handed a baseball cap and a clipboard: Learn the offense, work on your mechanics, study game tape.

The Wise Guy Strikes Back

Life Isn’t Fair — I Get It — I don’t know about you, but I’m getting fed up with this nonsense of random strangers shaming and blaming society for their station in life. No one owes any of us a living. The world does us all wrong. Of course, some get it worse than others. There are those…

America’s Race War is a Con Job

Putting the Hustlers and Haters on Notice — I’m tired of watching the race-mongers stir the pots and push their agenda, smearing the white population as hateful and racist. Gaslighting the common, peaceful, and respectful Caucasians into believing they are the problem and root cause for all of our social and racial injustices — past and present. …

I’m Tired of the ‘Evil America’ Stories

If the Grass is So Much Greener, Why Are You Still Here? — The United States is a great country, despite its social problems and imperfections. And I’ve written about them.

Hollywood’s ‘Sensitivity and Offensive Content’ Conundrum

How Do Artists Navigate This Movement and Backlash? — The Sensitivity and Offensive Police that have infiltrated society are now threatening the arts. Accusing artists and their creations of being non-conformist, hateful, and racist. In other terms, against the agenda.
