If you could permanently ban a word from general usage, which one would it be? Why?

-

The first word that came to mind was, “Trump” However, upon reflection I decided an appropriate response would be, “Israeli” “Why?” You ask. First, I apolige for the harshness of my following ‘opinion’. Being a realist I speak what I feel and I feel what I speak. There is no way whatsoever to justify what is happening in Gaza. Or what has been happening in the Golan Heights and West Bank since the inception of modern day Israel. Modern day Israel is no better than Germany was during the Nazi era. In many ways worse. The fact that Israel teaches it’s youth that Palestinians do not deserve the right to life is beyond sickening and inexcusable. The numerous, numerous, video interviews of Israeli youth and adults claiming that the Palestinian children Israel is slaughtering daily will grow to be “terrorists” and must be elimated is gut wrenching   disgusting. Not to mention it is morally horrifying and spiritually sickening. Modern Israel was created “May 14, 1948” The Palestinian peop...

Isn't It Ironic, Don't You Think?

-
  Isn’t it ironic, don’t you think? Irony is a quizzical and odd human trait. Most times it is present we don’t notice until after the fact. We definitely encounter it often throughout our days. In fact it is a constant in our world. Religion is a fine example of how well we have incorporated it within our daily rituals.   Globally. Take your average Baptist, Pentecostal or Roman Catholic. Come Sunday morning they gather up their families dressed in their  “Sunday Go To Meeting”   garb, load them into the car and off to church they go. As the kiddies take their time getting ready Mom and Dad grow frustrated and utter phrases such as, “ Will you damn kids hurry the Hell up!”  or, depending on their patience quota, “ Where   the f*ck are you? “. Arriving at the temple of worship and before they exit the car, they give them the “ last warning”, “If you misbehave I will beat your arse when we get home!”. The children and parents do their best to stay awake as t...

The Biography of My Son, Jordan who committed suicide on Christmas morning 2019

-
Image
“Black Diamond: Bubba’s Story  “ On Christmas morning 2019, my son, Delaney “Jordan” McLean Verner, hung himself. In an obscure town in the underbelly of Alberta, Canada. A town called “ Black Diamond “. He and his wife of 12 years, Katelyn had gone their to start a new life. Hoping to escape the homelessness rut and street life they were “ Groundhog Day ” living on the streets of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. A dream that collapsed and left them stranded, freezing and hungry in the middle of a viscous minus fifty degree Celsius blizzard. Although this is my son’s biography, it is also a call to attention as to how we are placing the lives of our youth in the hands and care of a “ Broken System “. A system that  MUST  be scrapped and a new approach and system built from scratch. A task that will take years to complete but is absolutely necessary as we have so many youth in crisis during these present times. I promised Jordan I would tell his story and that I would show the wo...

Fo You Feel Life Has Been Fair To You?

Image
  “How I miss riding Old Yeller!” Do you feel life has been fair to you? We all have complaints and grievances. The big question is are they “ justified ”? My childhood was absolute Hell. Yet I feel that my life has simply been exactly that – “ life ”. No different than many others has been. I was bounced through thirty_two foster homes in my first ten years. Finally going to live with my father, stepmother and step brother and sister at ten years old. However, I never felt like I belonged with them. I resented discovering that I had a father and family that lived a few miles from my last fosterhome but they never visited me until the last year. At the age of twelve I was renited with my older brother when he returned from the famous “Woodstock Concert”. Together we decided that the nomadic hippie life was our calling. So, he, 16 and I, 12 walked out of our so-called ‘parental ’  home and joined the “Awarehouse” hippie commune. The tribe kept me secure from the grasp of author...

A New Day's Rising

"Do you hear the silence over the noise?".

-
Image
  “ My Grandmother Clock” The human subconscious is amazing at times. I find it amazing how we can become so accustomed to some things, but other things become more and more obvious. Take for instance my  “grandmother clock”. It ticks quite loudly. Every second a constant reminder of its existence. Every half hour a single chime to assure me of that existence. Every hour the gongs of the passage of time. Yet, I do not hear it. If perhaps it stops because I neglected to wind it, I hear the silence. I live three blocks from one of the busiest police stations in Toronto. Sirens are a constant reminder of my life in the “ big city”. I do not hear the roar of racing engines or the siren’s obnoxious wail as they fly up my street. Yet, I do hear their silence if a long period is to pass between emergency runs. My subconscious essentially will say, “ Hey Dann, I wonder why we are not hearing sirens? ” This perplexes me to no end. It seriously does. Could it possibly be rooted in our g...

I believe I have broke my spine again!

  I believe I have broke my spine again! First I will explain why I say, “ Again” . It all began around March 4th, 1999. That is the first time I traumatized my spine. It was 3:55pm and my shift at  B and R Demolition  ended in five minutes. I removed my eyeglasses to wipe off the sweat and dust accumulated on them when I heard a crack sound. Two seconds later I was falling, from about fifty feet, straight down through the scaffolding. The crack I had heard was the breaking of the three by nine board I was standing on. I landed on my feet! Driving my face into my knees. It hurt, I kid you not! The thing that saved my life was my arms breaking planks during my descent. At the hospital it was discovered that besides two blackened eyes I had fractured my right elbow, my left forearm and two ribs. Hang on Campers, it gets better! The kinetic force of my landing sent a shock wave up my spine and shattered my 6th, 5th, 3rd and 2nd vertebrae. In surgery they performed a complete...
