DIFFICULT IS NOT AN EXCUSE! Even though I’ve squeezed that excuse to death at this point, I’m still holding on to it as if it’s still alive and serving its purpose for me. Fact is, I’ve just chosen to not overcome the difficulties involved with the logistics of writing from my prison cell, the editing […]

Food For Thought
Food For Thought by: Bad Boy Mike Think of things that are worthy of thought. If they’re not, stop. Find worth in the things you’re surrounded by. The things where your thoughts stopped.

The Prequel
The Prequel by: Bad Boy Mike Prequel to what you ask? That’s a great question. I’m already rethinking the title of this. Maybe “The Excuse” would be a bit more of a realistic title, but—there’s that famous word that prepositions itself right before the delivery of any excuse, but—writing this prequel serves a purpose. It’s […]

I’M BACK
I’M BACK HELLO, HELLoo, HELlooo, HEllo, Helloo, hellooo… That’s my representation of an echo. I’ve been gone since May 10th, and it feels like I’ve been lost in the Grand Canyon. I’m sure if I yelled out “hello” there, that’s what I imagine it would sound like. Anyway, I’m glad to be back. I have […]
