A Price Too Heavy
I hear you say your life has been harsh, cruel and so unfair Everybody’s got it in or out for you, can no one really care Yet when you walk down your street, the one most familiar All the people, everyone you pass or meet, just stop to stare I don’t see where LOSER […]
That Is Not It, That Is Not It At All
Please note: The following is about the movie Captain Phillips. I don’t believe it contains any spoilers, especially since the ending is a foregone conclusion. Some may not agree with me, so be warned. I feel impelled and qualified to write this for three reasons. First and weakest, I have a degree in film with […]
Life’s Own Story
