Blood Before Principle (poem I just wrote)

I wrote this just now in dedication to a friend of mine who has been disowned by his parents, his father in particular, due to the fact he's gay.

"Blood Before Principle"

Born into this world,
A different kind of guy,
An uphill struggle from the start,
Not accepted by the majority,

Not wanting to admit to this world,
What makes me different,
Dating as many girls as I can,
To try and change myself,

Not wanting to admit to myself,
What is inevitably true,
I deny myself of reality,
Hoping to please you,

The moment finally comes,
When I can deny no more,
Out to you I reach,
For acceptance and love,

You turn away at my admission,
Tell me to never step inside the house again,
As I walk away homeless,
Forever shunned by my family,

In denial again,
Hoping I can change myself,
Pills and drinks consumed in abundance,
Wanting love and acceptance,

I wake up,
Nothing's changed,
I reach for the bottle,
To erase the pain,

Please take me back and accept me,
What you see as flaws and all,
Your own flesh and blood,
Your only son.

Boycotting jukeboxes because of TouchTunes

I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun...

Trump's Lie Tally at the CNN Debate

1) "We had the greatest economy in the history of our country. We had never done so well. Every – everybody was amazed by it. Other countries were copying us." 2) "But the thing we never got the credit for, and we should have, is getting us out of that COVID mess." 3) "The only jobs he created are for illegal immigrants and bounceback jobs; they’re bounced back from the COVID." 4) "Not going to drive them higher. It’s just going to cause countries that have been ripping us off for years, like China and many others, in all fairness to China – it’s going to just force them to pay us a lot of money, reduce our deficit tremendously, and give us a lot of power for other things." (tariffs) 5) "He also said he inherited 9 percent inflation." 6) "No, he inherited almost no inflation and it stayed that way for 14 months. And then it blew up under his leadership, because they spent money like a bunch of people that didn’t know what t...
