As someone who too rises at 5, I feel this to my core!
Great intro, I like the way you have used homophones in the opening paragraph, clever wordplay. A popular punishment for swearing used here, leading us into the body.
Your vocab choices are superb, repugnant, repulsive, vile - and we haven't even really got started yet!
It's funny the words that cause us offence isn't it… although, most of these curse words... I'm well aware of 🤣your description of using ‘f*ck’ in different parts of speech amused me!
I love your description of forming the pot, the swear jar. Then going onto dropping in your payment.
My favorite concerning politics and money was simply “it’s rather easy to be frivolous with someone else’s money”
He definitely saw even looking at 🤣
Silly verbiage like “the most fun I’ve ever had with my clothes on” referring to landing half a dozen 12 and 13 pound largemouth bass. And it was damn close to that very description I must admit
You would’ve loved him. He was at play hard, work hard, empath kind respected human like I’ve never personally been so close to free literally 5000 people of every economic and stratified demographics in middle America small town life which is half of the population inside of city limits attended his funeral. It really made a big difference to me that day. He was my very best friend since memory. And I was in my late 20s I was completely oblivious to the circle of life if you’re lucky is forever closing. I was just wondering if you make some exceptions for get the hell out of there kind of thing in a minute I had enough credits to leave high school I should’ve made more considerations to spend time with him with her and talk every day on the phone with her I was in Colorado California, being a ski bum or golf pro all of the wasted misfit times of my youth.
I can still hear him and his Missouri drawl, “you call me anytime and reverse the charges.”
See the tilted green and sparkle in his eye when he was happy or just as a matter of course.
Of all the human traits I’ve ever encountered in my charmed blessed existence, the ability to be participating in a really shitty job, under really shitty circumstances, and having fun and actually enjoy the process when a certain person is around is a dynamic I still cannot wrap my head around but that’s the Cast he threw on project. The shadow of life is worth living and let’s do it right, have fun doing it
He sounds like an incredible individual. Kind of reminds me of my grandfather. I was really close to him to, but he died when I young. What would give to have had more time with him. I often think about how much better of a person I could have become if he would have there while I was growing up.
I would sincerely love to hear about any memory or time that you shared company that his surgeon to your brain. His mannerisms anything. Every voice you have a puppy and a grandfather. Crazy how that’s nothing dynamic. No doubt he was a damn good person for anybody that lived through the depression and participated in the greatest generation were the definition by default
What I remember most about him is his presence, if that makes sense. There was always something so strong, calm, and stable about him. A reliable being. A quiet surety undeterred by anything. In a word, safety.
I get it through certain people project a powerful, everything is all cool life is better when we’re all together and vibe. I knew a guy I thought was like 64 and super strong and in reality he was smaller than my five 9 1/2 165 pound frame. Some people just have that projection of positive energy and it fool the minds eye into reality there’s not really physically the truth but a wonderful truth and you itself so beautiful
If I have an ounce of good in me, it’s his doing. I’m Wild at heart. Listen to again. Part of me wants to initiate the eventual end inevitable reckoning. With no qualms as to the means achieving my ends. I’m not into collateral damage is only thing it hasn’t led me to change how many dominant programs on this entire planet I have no moral qualms about taking down the entire industrial processes that are simply toxic to every place and living thing they Touch. And then whatsoever. I just don’t wanna have collateral damage any kind of millions. And you know it never happens to the right people.
The problem isn’t so much that we elect the wrong people, it’s just the lightning ain’t distributed right ....
Good for you man I was so damn naïve that I thought all grandfathers were the coolest people on the planet. I didn’t realize this town coddled my youth was until after it was no longer part of the dynamic. I did not understand it every kid in America didn’t wake up to a hot breakfast six days a weekend if you were tired, didn’t listen to feeling financial responsibilities with Heather more than likely opportunity then to not make it through I can’t believe that dynamic barely exists and hasn’t been part of the minority dynamic for maybe ever
Feel free. When I’m done with words they anybody’s for any purpose I mean hell, make bootlegs. I’m a diehard open source for in a half a decade burn around the edges Deadhead. Feel free to use any words that I have previously abandoned. They serve me no purpose! 😉
I’ll share what I’ve got until it’s gone.
I humbly ask the others feel strongly about the dynamic.
When people hear about my early rising they mistake me for a morning person. A grave mistake, indeed. My alarm clock is set for a time that shows my love of writing, not my feelings about mornings....
What a great f*cking blog!

Collage is great too!
Thank you! I think you gave more thought to my essay than I put into it, lol.
🤦🏼♀️
lol!
Absolutely wonderful narrative. My grandfather had a little paragraph he recited frequently. Different words, same meaning.
Yesterday is a canceled check.
Tomorrow is but a promissory note.
Today on the other hand, is cold hard cash.
Let’s go make some, and pass it around.
Absolutely love that! Going to have to steal it!

Full of one-liner rather pertinent life tenant like quips but also complete smart ass.

This is a great piece, Duane!
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! It really means a great deal to me that took the time to read and comment! Much appreciated!
It used to be spelled to-morrow, and meant something like 'in the morning.' I'm not a morning person.
When people hear about my early rising they mistake me for a morning person. A grave mistake, indeed. My alarm clock is set for a time that shows my love of writing, not my feelings about mornings....
Yes, same. I love my kids, and I love writing. The morning can fuck off 😅
this is my new mantra
🤣😂🤣
❤️
Thank you!
