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.

For all the dumb shit I did in my life I should be nervous; everything is on the line. I may be granted entrance into Heaven per God’s grace, or I may be condemned to eternal hell – flippin’ burgers 24-7 in Hell’s Kitchen, with no union breaks.

Covid-19 and Fear

Covid-19 and Fear

If the world is good at anything, it is two things: war, and hysteria. No, not the best-selling album Hysteria from the rock band Def Leppard… I’m talking about the Y2K-type of hysteria. For those who do not know the Y2K reference, let me explain…

Letters from Dr. Noettall #2

First, let me offer you some background. In my previous correspondence, I described a new subspecies, which I, Dr. Noettall, classified as the Capulus Drogota. It was during one of these visits to a strip mall, when I was continuing my observations on the habits of the Capulus Drogota.
