Stories

The title pretty much says it all. Here, along with Real Talk is where you will find the Heart of W.O.C. If I have one talent in this world, it’s the ability to create stories that reflect an offbeat point of view which has been formulated by years of observation and good ol’ fashion growing pains. Stories, unlike Real Talk, is where I purposefully write to entertain through a vivid imagination, and plain common sense. Beyond the entertainment value of my storytelling, I seek to establish empathy, as well as educate people about things in life, the roots of which are often unfamiliar. Take for example the expression, “Bat-shit crazy.” How did that expression come to be? What does it actually mean? Within my storytelling, I often deviate from the main topic to provide insight on things, thus creating a small story within a larger story. My stories are real, imagined, or a combination of both.

When historians look back to reference that point in time where Western civilization officially began its decline, they will have a long list of surreal events to debate over; of which the following three gems could easily be considered for top honors.

Dressed to Kill

Dressed to Kill

Can you be dressed for success and dressed to kill at the same time? I’m not so certain the two are compatible. I do know however, that I would not wish to accidentally bump into someone dressed to kill as consequences could be lethal.

Get Your Ship Together

Get Your Ship Together

I’ve never had my ship together, ever! Everytime I attempt to get my ship together, part of me inevitably sails off. Be it an emotional, social, physical, spiritual, sexual, or a financial issue, inevitably someone sits in the corner all by itself at the “feeling good party”, brooding and worrying about what if.

Happy New Year (?)

Happy New Year (?)

Have you ever asked yourself how certain adjectives got attached to certain holidays?

Take for example New Year’s greetings. Why is it necessary for the New Year to always be Happy? Why is it necessary for Christmas to always be Merry? Why can’t Christmas be happy and the New Year be merry?

BADMINTON BLUES

BADMINTON BLUES

Life gives hard lessons, and they often come with a price. Literally. I speak, of course, from experience.Take for example the hard lesson my friend Luke and I learned, from all things, badminton.

Missed Opportunity

Enclosed is a real email I received from the Papa John’s Pizza chain. The email was in response to an order I had placed. It was the first time I had ordered pizza from them since I don’t know how long, so I’m not exactly a “regular” customer.
