Father's Day
The Angry Death of a Good Man
Where to start? In short, my father has been dead now for 17 years. I am 50 and can't at this point in my growth of self-awareness really remember much about him accept anger. These are things I recognize now that triggered his idealism to be angry.
Hanzo Waist Management Department
Waist management, literally and figuratively speaking are opposite ends of the same spoon. What that means to you is that one cannot exist without the other. So NO whining or whimpering!

"Diet", the word confuses, frightens, confounds, and inferiorates most of the population. I blame this "misunderstanding" on the marketing whizzes that have turned a word into a weapon to sell mass diet goods of destruction...
