The Ice Cream Man Cometh
My childhood memories are tinged in shades of black and white. Although various relatives and friends used their Kodak and Polaroid cameras to capture in vivid color many of the moments from the late 1970s and early 1980s, when my father got behind the lens they were recorded in black and white or sepia tones.

We Got Lost in Paris
Through the cobblestone streets we traipsed, enchanted by the ancient city, as bewildered as Alice in Wonderland. There is no better place to get lost than Paris.

Verbal Bullying & Disabilities
While going through the self-check-out at my local Walmart, I was a victim of a Verbal Bully. I was scanning my items at the self-check-out; a male in his seventies decided to point the finger at me. He stood at the next check out and loudly laughed, "He has Faggot Eyes!" I looked and did not ever remember seeing this man before.

Rick HenryPublished 7 days ago in HumansThoughts Of An Introvert in Love
There is something creepy about love expressed through abstinence and forbearance. Those piercing stares of desire you direct towards your person of affection as if begging them to notice you. More often than not, it's as if they don’t see you even when you can clearly see them looking at you.

"I Like Corn!"
A man and a woman meet working in a Manhattan farm to table restaurant. In the middle of Chelsea, they learn how intentional food can be and how every ingredient matters and makes a difference. Fresh local melon paired with a sustainably caught Arctic Char. A strawberry shortcake with fresh grated lime zest adding a zip to the richness. Whole butchered lambs being carried through the back dining room on their way down to be used fully in creative dishes to honor their lives. Every spice, every garnish has purpose. This is where food becomes art, even down to a single kernel of corn.

Watercolor
My watercolor journey started with a kit from the five and dime that came with twelve sticky, faded colors and a plastic-bristled brush that splayed out from its handle like an old scrub brush. There were no instructions on the box. There was no mixing palette. I “painted” on pulp construction paper. My supplies were, and for a long time remained, limited to those I received as holiday gifts and those I hoarded from holidays past.

What is love? How can anyone even attempt to fathom the most 100 percent correct answer, they can’t can they? But I like to break it down into a couple different categories that are all very different and long lasting as opposed to those that can and most likely are temporary. There is love relationships between family, friends, and lovers. There is always some kind of love that is always around us at any given moment and is forever changing for good or for bad, but it just depends on what we are dealing with in the moment or the time in our life that can all have a very different affect. We all strive to find the piece of love that can really bring us to peace between the three, but the complexity of it makes that difficult.
Gabriel EstradaPublished about 4 hours ago in HumansThe Body Wants Sex, The Heart Wants Love, But my Soul needs Peace.
I'm having a day! I woke up this morning and my account was overdrafted. If you are one of my followers, you know that I am sober. One of the most underrated aspects of sobriety is the peace that comes with not lying to people, not stealing from friends or family. No lawyer, probation officer or cop is looking for me. I owe no one money. It's quite a lovely existence actually. I'm almost 52 years old. I'm not in high school. I'm done with drama - for real. I should've been done with it years ago, but I was an addict. No one has more drama than an addict - it's just the way it goes. I got sick of my own drama, so I'm sure as shit not putting up with yours. Like I said, I'm having a day. I'm done with one-sided friendships, drama queens, energy vampires, and needy girls. I'm almost 52, but please don't wait until your as old as me to hear this - no amount of money, no one person, no job, is going to bring you peace until you are at peace with yourself.

Long-Term Relationship Milestones
Time moves fast and unnoticed when you're in a loving relationship. It's not until you're celebrating a milestone when reality hits you — you've been together for so long, and that’s something worth celebrating.

Preparing For The Dance
You might be wondering what everyone is thinking about what Jackie is doing. Some of her friends were positive and some were negative about me going to the dance with her. I really didn’t care about how the negative thinkers felt because I was going to the dance with Jackie and at this point, that is all that matters. One of the negative thinkers was none other than Tim the ex-boyfriend. Even though they had broken up, he apparently still had feelings for her. Luckily for me, Jackie wanted nothing to do with him ever again. I really wanted to know what that was all about, but I didn’t want to ruin what I had with her so I just gave supportive feedback to her every time his name came up, but not too supportive to make her think that he would be good for her. In my opinion, Tim was very toxic to her and I’m not just saying it because I really liked Jackie. He was very controlling over her and maybe that’s why she left him. I didn’t really care why she stopped seeing him because now Tim’s goons (loyal friends) aren’t around anymore to stop anyone from trying to make any sort of contact with Jackie.
Patrick BramerPublished about 10 hours ago in HumansWhen She finds Superman!
The preference of most women today has a bunch of men wondering. Yes, it is a woman's right to choose and no one can change that by a longshot. However, the common desire of the average woman which has been tainted by materialism and social media, has the everyday man thinking is it worth the effort. We all know the shallow basic requirements that a man has to have in order to catch the everyday woman. The height, bank account, being good in bed are the common features today and not to mention the other 20 bullet point items that are a "must" have in a man. Very similar to visiting an auto maker online and building your car to cater your needs. Unfortunately, men aren't made on demand like that. So, the question on the floor: Why do women think they deserve a top tier man that is in the upper percentile on the social ladder?
