By Our Powers Combined, We Can Save the Planet
Earth Day is coming up [tomorrow, but you should think of every day as earth day] and it seems like all my TV stations have been going green of late. Well at least for the last week or two any way. They are all changing their station ID bugs [you know those stupid little logos…

Tax Day Sucks
As so many Albright students have informed me in the past couple of months the city of Reading sucks. [Why they don’t Google that fact before coming to school in this city is beyond me. Guess they would rather come here and bitch about the city than do a little research about a place they…

Just Like Dogs Onions Are Bad For Cats Too
While I wasn’t able to find a definitive answer to my question from a vet or pet site. That question being: Are onions bad for cats? I was able to find a very knowledgeable and friendly online group [Cats and Kittens Yahoo Group]Â that confirmed for me that my suspicions were correct. Onions are indeed just…

April Fools Day
Well another April Fools Day has come and gone without anything significant happening to me. I never pull anything off myself, but I usually get hit. Or the very least someone tries something. I don’t watch the news or read the paper [not even a blog on a daily basis] so I was in the…

Another Mangled Mailing
What is it with me and getting Star Trek stuff in the mail? Or is it just anything via mail order these days? I just received my copy of Brent Spiners new CD Dreamland. Well actually I just received my second copy of this disc. My first one came to me a bit mangled and…

By Any Other Name by Liz Martelli
By any other name, I’d still be a writer It’s in my heart, my blood, my fingers Nouns and adjectives, metaphors And similes pound through my veins. The way some kids get math, I get writing The way some cats can pick up a guitar And just know what to do, I can wield a…

Untitled by Liz Martelli
You never learn to be a good person You either are or you aren’t Always born with an old soul, Recycled and wise, Able to detect the same in others, We are a rare breed Prone to mental, emotional strife Prone to feeling too deeply, Drowning in it You can’t let it overwhelm you, This…

The Thick of It by Liz Martelli
In the thick of it, It’s too dense to make Out the mistakes before You commit to them But there’s always an out, A loophole you can slip Through when shit Gets rough. In the thick of it, The blur that is It happening Can be indistinguishable From the general static and Hum of the…

Me and I by Liz Martelli
My father and i are close at arm’s length He tells me I embarrass him Because I wobbled off the Straight and narrow, Refused to bleat with the Rest of the white sheep, And became black. My mother and I have Always been too close Too close encouraging a bond That if broken, could kill…
