“ignominy”
Idols fall at the fevered pace of fake news announcements.
Ideas brand you as dangerous.
Dialogue dry-well, drywalled in.
Immovable position.
Paralyzed by fear.
Innocence becomes the lie it always was.
Ignorance is heralded,
especially when wrapped in arrogance and denial.
There is no middle ground.
Just extreme extremism extremely extant.
Order is caving and leaving on chartered flights, and squirreled in the hold of shipping containers.
Those that feel comfort within the framework that a society provides, have no conception, that that luxury is only provided by that which they hold in contempt.
Consequence is gaining.
Ignorance is not bliss, but a precursor to suffering.
The middle will not hold, unless good people stop listening to those that sow doubt.
The philosophers are extinct, and their ashes have been eaten gluttonous by apologists that are in love with their zeal.
I sit out in the open road, hoping that when the collapse comes, I can see that sinister look of recognition dress the faces of the smug.
A recognition that liberty is just another illusion in the tent of Abraham.
Institutional ignominy delivered on target by drowning drones.
Driven mad, by madmen, and the most sincerely irrational and well-meaning people.

Welcome to my effort. Yes, as a great procrastinator, it requires great effort to stay focused on something productive that matters to me. I’ll find any old excuse to traipse from project to project, and I rarely end up at the place I started. I find this maddening, and exhaustive. So it is with high hopes, and a greater grasp of self-awareness, that I embark upon staying the course so to speak.
I enjoy writing. Be it blogs, fiction, poetry, etc. I love the craft and the act of creation, the art in and of itself, for it’s own sake and end. I am happy to be able to do it.
Some stats:
Born: March 1974
Education:
St.Francis de Sales, Charlestown MA
Don Bosco Technical High School, Boston MA
University of Massachusetts at Lowell, Lowell MA
Bunker Hill Community College, Charlestown MA
DePaul University, Chicago, IL
North Virginia Community College, Arlington VA
Harvard Extension School, Cambridge MA
Place of residence: Somewhere in the land of metro Boston. It’s vaguely familiar and becoming home more and more by the day, but when you come from “The Town” all else fails by comparison.
Favorite Color: I’m partial to all forms of blue.
Favorite Author: c’mon! don’t expect me to answer that, there are too many.
I enjoy memories of playing 80’s Atari better than playing any advanced gaming system that exists today.
Some day:
Hope to be recognized for my paper clip collection. As well as my 27 rejected applications to Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailiey Clown college.
