"NO" screams Jon tied down to the bed straps on his legs, his wrists as he struggles to get up. "Relax Jon; this is for your own safety. We know you didn't mean to do it but, we have to be sure you won't do that again." the Nurse says in an attempt to calm him down before the Dr. injects the venom that makes him sleep for ho... More..

To this day when I kiss her I taste you To this day when I lie next to her I smell you To this day when I hold her tight I feel you To this day when I make love to her I am in you To this day when I wander near you all I see is that stone That cold heartless piece of granite That desperately wanton crap with your name on it ...

Michael Morrison was living in the same house he grew up in, the place with the best memories and even some of the worst. In the back bedroom was the bloodstain on the wooden floors that he could not seem to get rid of the spot where his lonely, drunken father took his life late one evening. Michael was a surprisingly optimi... More..

I was a beer-bottle baby, a natural born alcoholic in a family of beer drinking European based origins. Polish & German decent, with a hint of other oddities that grew up driving up in the early 70's to the Northern Lower Peninsula looking for paper bags of Morel mushrooms with beer in hands. It was a family tradition. As an... More..

Janie spent the entire day at work thinking about the fight she had this morning both with her daughter and with her husband over one little party. Her husband Mike wanted to throw a birthday party for their only child, Katie despite the tightened belt on the money. Janie told him no and said, "Just take her to the store and... More..
Entertainment > TV Genres & Trends Has the trend toward Reality TV improved the quality of television shows?: 26 of 87
Isn't it funny how the same people who condemned the late 80's and early 90's form of Oprah, Jenny Jones? Now they have turned this into a life commodity with some good and some bad versions. I stand totally amazed how we have become so desperate for fame and attention we will pawn ourselves out for a few bucks. Such a shame... More..

I woke up at quarter past 1 you weren't lying next to me. I phoned you at 3 forgot you weren't there to answer. I knocked on your door at 6 nobody home. I got drunk by 8 kept dialing your number still no answer. I fell to the floor at 11 calling out to you for help. I kept forgetting that your not here anymore. I forget that... More..

With his return to the NFL this season despite having what for most QB's at his age would have been tell tale signage on the wall it was time to hang it up he still returns for one more round of signing a longer contract than he can truly handle or probably plans to in the first place. There comes a time in every man's life ... More..

Mike had spent the evening at the bar drinking with friends and at the end of it all they went home alone. He walked down to his apartment and like always barely could walk in between the drunken stupor and his tear filled eyes.

This man who lies before me was a Man among men. He protected me from the hell of war. He strode before the bullet that was meant for me. He walked into the pit of hell in hopes of saving me. He shone above me in the night leading me away from trouble. He was the only person I could count on where I laid. Wishing I was with ... More..
