This is deterioration in it's finest form

A salute to the un-normal a diluted cast informal

and still we all chant that it's entitled for our ideas forced united

as we ridicule the divided can't we see the side we've chided

won't you reveal the tide  you bridled in the undertow you stifled?

Listen! And I will offer thee a new fantasy... I'm standing before…

LAYNE STALEY, KURT COBAIN : GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN





Nineteen years ago today, a troubled man entered his garage with a

shotgun. Three days later his body was found. His death was eventually

ruled as suicide. Nirvana arguably, the biggest band on earth, at the

time, had lost the driving force , behind their music.

Guitarist/vocalist Kurt Cobain, the reluctant rockstar dead at the…

President Obama's Pilgrimage.



A pilgrimage is a journey or search of moral or spiritual significance.



After his first election, President Obama went to Egypt. He gave a speech. After his second election, he went to Israel. He gave a …

President Obama is leading the nation.



Now before you are all like, what the hell happened to maggot? Let me flesh this out. President Obama is leading the nation. Where? Some would say, over a cliff. While others would say, forward towards progress. But I would ask, if America is progressing...what are we becoming and where are we being led. Let's look at the…

Gently awoken by traces of a distant dirge

Rolled out of bed and into the streets

Dark day skies made for dry eyes, I won't be there

To save them, nor will I hear their cries

This thought persisted. Almost kneading me.

Barren roads and no wind

Nothing to hurry the trash that matted the path before me. No birds or sounds of life

No hustle of commerce or urgency to be

Anywhere?

Looking around this place that have seemed so...

Prime just…

Wow. I'm sick

Of looking for greatness in others 

and giving my own

a day pass…

Outside the gate

Too starved and too late

The tide rises and gives

Rise to the illusion

It's unearthing is awaiting

In a distant fog I flounder

For distance

I arrive and SEEK no shelter

...For the words have been written and

Taste bitter on my tongue....

(like a sweater song, i've become undone)

When I speak I'm most revealed

The unsettling feeling when you

Feel you were less received than

The floods you--You recede…

September 17, 1787....38 out of 41 delegates signed, the Constitution Of The United States of America. Today 225 years after that signing, it remains the worlds oldest operating constitution. Freedom.

You hear a lot about Religious Freedom, these days.

A flailing, failing President with no record of success, to run around the block on, much less, run a campaign on, in a blooming election year, issues a Mandate to a large percent of his 2008 voting block (i.e. Catholics) forcing them to throw asunder their Religious…

I know, I know....you're like damnyoumaggot! You finally put the camera down long enough to write a blog...? Kind of....I'm typing with one hand and filming the cat sleeping with the other....

It's been quite a busy weekend for the maggot family. Pull up a chair and I'll tell you a tale.

So here we are today (September 27th, 2011), marking the 20th Anniversary of the release of Nirvana's Nevermind. The album, has been hailed as the greatest rock album of all time, the most influential record in modern history, and the last great record that changed the world. So much has been said in the lead up to this release, I ask myself ...what could I add?. Just my own personal memories of the moment of clarity, when a troubled generation found a voice and a…

Some of you may know that, recently we (,the Mrs. and I) won the opportunity for a meet, greet and eat with Herman Cain. The event, held Tuesday night in our town, Lakeland, was called The Reagan Dinner Series: an Evening With Herman Cain. Thanks to our locally produced,…

Bessie shared this on Sodahead. You can change the person, the voice effect, and the langauge...and they say what you type. Their eyes follow your cursor.

The premise is:

That I sit down and write tonight

The page before me blank and white

Today and all days I feel wrong 

Nothing’s right

I’ve traded sight for a copied copyright for some old

And bored forgotten song

Was I wrong? 

The demise is:

The price I paid and dealing with the pain delayed

And all the times I could have said

It was my fault the tears you shed

I didn’t, I couldn’t… this is the bed…
