“People on the internet aren’t having as much fun as you think they are”. “I guess they’re just cropping out all the sadness”. -Portlandia This was a recent Facebook note that I decided to put on this blog. I’m still trying to figure out the enigmatic Facebook and how much and what type […]
I remember the time I first saw your face I remember your smile I remember your grace I remember your sweetness I remember your glow I remember everything about you I couldn’t wait to know Why did you let things get in the way? You were always so busy and […]
Everyone makes plans when they are young. The teacher asks the kids what they want to be when they’re older. “I’m going to be a firefighter”. “I’m going to be a weatherman”. “I’m going to be a news reporter”. Of course, there are also plans for who you will marry […]
me: tell me more about this song buddy: well, it’s from later in his career… after he’d lived a good part of his life. buddy: i like the line that’s something like, “if there’s one thing i’ve learned in all my crazy years, it’s that life keeps running in cycles; […]
Mary had a little lamb, Her face displayed a glow For there was a great big need, The naked needed clothes Mary had a gentle lamb, Raised to take our blows And everywhere the Father led, The lamb was sure to go Unto the shearer He was led, Slaughtered on […]
I was looking around on the plane today and saw a woman furiously knitting a scarf or blanket or hat or something. I’m not exactly sure what she was knitting or even why she was knitting for that matter. I mean, I’m sure that whatever she was making could be […]
It’s been about a month now in Dallas and the Christmas party was tonight. In one sense, it was just another gathering where everybody dressed up. I mean, there is the prom and then the college senior formal and then annual Christmas parties and weddings and other occasions to dress […]
I’ve been driving around Dallas in a beaten up car. My dashboard lights don’t work. The radio doesn’t work. The grill fell off. The front side is dented. The hood requires two people to open and close. I can only use my key to unlock the passenger side and my […]
For the past few years I’ve frequently found myself getting bored with life. I’m getting bored with sports and routines and brushing my teeth and tying my shoelaces. I’m bored with facebook, the Internet, sending resumes to strangers and I’m even tired of watching old Journey music videos on youtube. […]
I’m not sure what town it was in or even what route we were on, but there it was etched in large red letters under that bridge. I think it might have been Connecticut or somewhere near the Saw Mill Parkway. Someone had written the name “Annie” under the overpass. […]

Al Horford headed to his first NBA Finals at age 35. In no small part because Horford, at age 35, is still damn good.
But I’m here to say to you this morning that some things are right and some things are wrong. Eternally so, absolutely so. It’s wrong to hate. It always has been wrong and it always will be wrong. It’s wrong in America, it’s wrong in Germany, it’s wrong in Russia, it’s wrong in China. It was wrong in 2000 B.C., and it’s wrong in 1954 A.D. It always has been wrong, (That’s right!) and it always will be wrong. (That’s right!) It’s wrong to throw our lives away in riotous living. No matter if everybody in Detroit is doing it, it’s wrong. It always will be wrong, and it always has been wrong. It’s wrong in every age, and it’s wrong in every nation. Some things are right, and some things are wrong, no matter if everybody is doing the contrary. Some things in this universe are absolute. The God of the universe has made it so. And so long as we adopt this relative attitude toward right and wrong, we’re revolting against the very laws of God himself.
– Martin Luther King, Jr.
