The Past Has Passed…

past-x-350w

The past has no hands to hold,
nor arms to wrap around us.
It remains with us only because of the grip WE have on it.

WE embrace it because we know it,
and we treat it as a friend
rather than the foe it is.

they might say he had run out of luck
long ago and spent much time amongst the
out of work and possibly even the homeless.… —-> Continue…

Thank You for being my Friend

You know that supposedly unwritten rule
that says you don’t date your best friend’s ex ?

and then there was the part

where I left to go to the store.

 

It’s where Adam Sandler is in his office.

His son, following in his father’s footsteps,

is trying to go over a few of his ideas with him.… —-> Continue…
