When you share my bed you share my name

Thelma Todd (1906-1935)
Mysterious death at age 29, she's gone, but not forgotten. Thelma Todd had an amazing presence in some of my favorite slapstick films. I christened my motorcycle "Thelma" in her honor.

Skinhead

To me, there is no such thing as a nazi skinhead, there are only skinheads and nazis. As far as I'm concerned the two are polar opposites, and ignorance has confused the two. I am not fond of nazis, or the swastika. I don't care if the symbol represents peace in many other cultures, it has been desecrated forever in the name of hate and has no place in white American society. I don't want to hear that you're trying to reclaim the swastika as a positive symbol, even though your underlying motive is shock value. Take your swastika and shove it, it doesn't work here anymore.

Gray Sky

I saw the rain begin to fall and it reminded me of your song
It triggered memories of every river we crossed together
Every mountain we ever stood upon with our gaze in the distance

The smell was that of a spirit passing quiet and unnoticed
It felt like a second chance when the first was a gift
My only prayer was that it would never cease

I yearn to see the rivers swell
I long to find that place called home
I am forever in your debt

Positive ID

"How do you take away from a man his madness
without also taking away his identity?"
