The first disclaimer is this: I do know that it is spelled D-U-D-E. However, D-O-O-D is my smart assed Verbal Assassinish way of saying “Yo, dumbass, really?” OK, so that was really my only disclaimer. Lately, I have felt like I should put a disclaimer on everything I do. “Sorry maam, the oxygen thing was [...]
The Frustrations of an Assassin…
It has been one hell of a year. The deployment. The grandbaby. The son in law. The job. The business. The friends. And I survived it all. I made it through with most of me intact. So why am I losing my sanity now? The light at the end of the tunnel is not an [...]
What a Tangled Web We Weave…
When first we practice to conceive. Not what you were expecting. Or perhaps it was. I have never regretted having my children. And as much as I hate to say it, I don’t even regret their paternal units. I look back and wonder what I saw in them. What was I thinking? Was it alcohol? [...]
And The Oscar Goes To…
Tonight I watched the Oscars with one eye, while watching Facebook with the other. And it made me think. You know, one day, my life story will be written. The book will be read. The movie will be made. And the screenplay will win an Oscar. The last thing I want is to be up [...]
Castles
The tide comes in to wash away our castles in the sand. Our palaces that last one day will crumble in our hand. The tallest wave grows in the sun and dies in tiny streams. They take our castles one by one but cannot take our dreams. ~1988 Cass Leming
A Break From Reality… Or To It…
As a lot of you have written to me have noticed, I have taken a break from my ABCs series. And from so much more than that. Lately, I have been wanting, and taking, a break from life. From reality. Or maybe I am just starting to face it. I don’t know. I have so [...]
Out of the Darkness…
Almost. I have been in a very dark place lately. Not because of anything that anyone has done or not done. It is in my head. And it can’t get out. I have dealt with depression most of my life, and have pretty much just sucked it up. It made some of my life a [...]
Growing Up
Is there ever a time that we do? I mean mentally. I wonder if there will ever be a point in my life that I am not petty. Irrational. Jealous. Stupid. Because I know that it is a selfish response. And it can hurt others, even if that is not the intention. Since I moved [...]
The New Website
I finally did it. My first (public) step to overtaking the world! Welcome to www.theverbalassassin.com. It is still a baby. Play nice with it. Share your toys with it. Love it. Hug it. Please don’t try to breast feed it though. Visit it often.
The Genetic Makeup of a Bitch…
Lately, I have been questioning things about myself. It is not that I don’t like who I am, per se. It is more that I wonder about why I am the way I am. I always thought I was a compassionate person. Very empathetic. Generally non judgemental. More than fair. Not perfect, but with a [...]
