Simple Sunday Sermon
Simple Sunday Sermon by: Bad Boy Mike If I was a preacher, I would preach this simple sermon: “Get off your… and do something for someone else besides yourself you selfish, self-indulging pr@#k!”—“Stop complaining about your life and be grateful you’re still alive!” That fact alone gives you total control to change your life into […]

Please Stand Up, Please Stand Up
Please Stand Up, Please Stand Up September was Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, or as I call it, SPAM.

Bad Place, Good Decision
Bad Place, Good Decision by: Bad Boy Mike When it comes to decisions, I have a smorgasbord of them in my past. All different kinds, styles, and flavors.

It’s Another Year… Happy Mother’s Day
Happy Mother’s Day To my Mom: You truly are a special Mom. You’ve never given up on me. Even when I did “bad things” you still believed in me. You always separated the behavior, action, or decision from who I was as a person. Your belief in me became contagious and you’ve infected my outlook […]

On The Record
On The Record Today is April 30th, 2023 and I’m 50 years old. It’s 8:08 am and I’ve been awake since 5:30 this morning. My name is Mike Brunsman; almost forgot that part, probably because I’m 50. I’m pre-positioning this opening, in this manner, due to the fact that some people —mainly my Dad —will […]

To All Readers – Explanation & Clarification

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 […]

I’ve Realized So Much of Life Happens Around Food… March 19th, 2022 Switching gears now. Other prisoners always ask me why I spend so much time focusing on food I can’t get? They say it drives them crazy. They want me to leave them alone to sulk in the reality of our “menu” at the […]
