I Have the Power

Despising myself 
no longer makes any sense. 
Create a new me!

Sometimes our biggest problems are ourselves. Could it be as easy as letting go?

Wal-Mart Blue

Sunny cloudless skies, 
horizons of blue and green 
and then there's Wal-Mart.

I was waiting in my car for my wife, enjoying the nice temperature and majesty of nature, until the sounds of a screeching child brought me back to the reality that was Wal-Mart parking lot.

God's Thumnail

Thumbnail in the sky 
Deepest blue fading to black. 
Alas, night has come.

Hit the Reset Button

I am player one.
Life has no 1-ups or saves.
If only it did.

In some video games, much like real life, there are harsh consequences for making mistakes. Players may lose items, miss opportunities, or even die. Unlike life, however, games have built in ways to try again, either by 1-ups (brings you back to life), or save points which bring you back to previous points in the game.

I can look back and see many times in my life where I would like to take more risks or go back and make better choices. Sometimes this player one wishes he could just restart the game.

Missing in Action

I used to have lots. 
Now I only have a few. 
Damn all the Sock Gnomes!

*Sigh* Another day, I can't find any socks. I used to have white ones and black ones and even the calf-high striped socks. Now I barely have any at all.

Auto-Correct Me

Copy the good times.
Undo all my past mistakes.
Auto-correct me.

Like so many others, I wish my life away. It would be so much better if life were as easy to edit as a text message.

Honey Badger Don't Care


Nom nom nom babies!
The honey badger don't care.
It takes what it wants.
