Square this circle for me: HAMLET is Hamlet's father. Claudius, HAMLET's own brother, kills Hamlet's father. Hamlet comes home to mourn his father. Hamlet wants to kill Claudius to avenge his father. He accidentally kills Polonius, Laertes' father. Laertes comes home to mourn his father. Laertes wants to kill Hamlet to avenge his father. Laertes … Continue reading chapter one 02192021 1800

There’s no such thing as a stupid question because every question is a stupid question. Questions are for idiots. Questions are for people who aren’t plugged in. Look at a cat. Does a cat look like it ever has a question? Does a tree look like an inquisitive being to you? Are clouds confused like … Continue reading chapter one 02182021 0632

I’m not sure if anyone else has noticed this yet, because I’ve tried to look it up and I can’t seem to find anything written about it. But I couldn’t help but notice that the entire saga of "The Sopranos" is nothing more than Greek mythology in Jersey. Tony is Zeus. Carmela is Hera. Christopher … Continue reading chapter one 02172021 1500

Nothing new seems good, at first. Things only age well with time and repetition. At first, I couldn’t understand the hype around a rock band like The Doors, for example, or a guardian angel like B.B. King, or a Mozartian genius like Jimi Hendrix. The first time I heard them moan and scream, I put … Continue reading chapter one 02162021 0600

Chinese philosophy does not acknowledge a GOD, per se. There is no "person" out there. It's more like a verb than a noun. It would be more accurate to call It GODNESS. A process, a state of being. One seeks to attain GODNESS. One "becomes" GOD. Or rather, one has always been GOD, but seems … Continue reading chapter one 02152021 1200

To speak the name of a sweetheart or former crush is a magic spell. I could recall and reminisce on just about everything, but I always had a whole lot of trouble saying their names out loud. One time, I wrote them all down. Twenty-five names. Twenty-five sweet little girls. Each name a song, each … Continue reading chapter one 02142021 2100

Everything I own is a square. Screens, tables, couches, chairs, chess sets, pillows, windows, doors. Lawns and driveways, buildings, parking lots. Aside from my steering wheel, my toilet bowl, and a few little things in the kitchen, just about everything else is a square. The curious thing about it is that perfect squares do not … Continue reading chapter one 02132021 0945
