America appears headed for a bad time
this is a new decade, and it’s not started very well. America is a shell of her former self and going down the tubes quickly. There is not much left of America to even save. It is not a country that can get along with itself any longer. There are two distinct thought patterns in America which are incompatible completely with each other.
There’s no way that Americans can unify with each other. They have no common goals, no common bonds, and they see the world in a completely different way. There is…

Living in this world today makes someone want to pull their hair out. Well, those of us that are adults. Those that are older, in case you’re wondering, have a little bit of this thing called life experience. As you grow up in life you start to learn a lot. It is through that learning we come to better understand ourselves. We are living in very dangerous times and if we don’t address it now, we will repeat our sins of the past. …
With the holiday season approaching and the charged political climate in the United States, I keep thinking about one of my favorite holiday movies. This is the movie. It’s a Wonderful Life.
It’s about a man just trying to make it in the world. He has a business and a girl that he cares about it. He lives in this place called Bedford Falls, which is a pretty happy place to be. Everyone loves George Bailey, but there is a problem.
There is this absolute miser there who goes by the name of Mr. Potter.
I think Mister Potter represent…
If you are a writer, in this charged political atmosphere, you are probably quite emotional. It is difficult as human beings to go through this sort of turmoil. We mustn’t let those emotions get the best of us. The true writer needs to tell the story. A writer has to get the information out there.
We all like to have a rant from time to time. I’m guilty of this myself. We have to remember that this often goes nowhere. We might cleanse ourselves of our frustration and anger when we rant, but then we are left with the problem…
A lot of people think writing online is going to make them a lot of money. The truth of the matter is that writing online is a lot of work. It takes time for you to get established, and the money will not come in like you think it will.
When you work a regular full-time job, you get a guaranteed paycheck every few weeks. You also get paid sick time in many jobs, and you don’t have to worry that much about your money. When you are an online writer, you will go from job to job. Some of…
So the American election appears to be over. It seems that Americans have a difficult time voting. This should not be a difficult process, and it should not be one that leaves doubt in someone’s mind about the outcome of that election.
I want to tell you how easy it is for me to vote in Canada and why I have faith in my election system. Here is how easy it could be for Americans to vote and have confidence in that vote without any issue whatsoever.
Election campaigns in Canada are quite short. Whenever an election is called, there…
Votes are cast
It’s done at last
Same as it always was
In the boat
Of a banana republic
— -
Tax for you and less cash
Come with us as we burn it to ash
Money here and money there
In the boat
Of a banana republic
— -
Left or right
They put up a fight
We hide from you through all we do
Pulling the strings
Of a banana republic

Life gets better, yes it’s true
Like we always promise you
50 years and what do I see
So much less for you and me
…
A new face at a podium stand
Yet children still die across the land
Give us your money, your best bet
We have to go and buy ourselves a new Lear jet
Relax, it’s only politics
—
We promise to enrich your life
You’ll be free from harm and all that strife
Just like the promises we made the other day
When you vote, it will be okay
Relax, it’s only politics
— -
There will be no lies and corruption, too
Why would we do this to you?
We smile and keep you under our best care
Even if…
I think one of the main problems we have in life is that we expect things to happen all at once. We expect to be successful right away. We want our relationship to be absolutely perfect. We want everything in life to go our way, yet we don’t realize that you have to fail and suck at things before you get better at them.
I want to use the example of my guitar. When I first started a guitar as a young teenager I did not know what the hell I was doing.
