Ah Maria, The Filial Son in Action
Queen Maria Theresa took the death of her husband hard, maybe harder than anyone else. “ No human being is capable of adequately expressing the acute feelings with which the heart of a son is overwhelmed, who loses forever a father, by whom he is convinced he was loved….He was my teacher, my friend.

Imagine there’s this gypsy who looses her Spirit Voice in front of million while on Oprah. Imagine she goes hunting for that match-making spirit voice in a fancy French style restaurant where a hunky chef is more than willing to suck her into his way of life.

Suzie’s House 167: How to Catch a Bird
“Tracy, bring in the bird feeder will you? It must be about out by now.” Like most of the calamities in Tracy’s life, it started out that simply. When her aunt asked a favor, Tracy didn’t grumble. She simply rolled off the couch onto the floor then inched her way to her feet. It wasn’t like she really needed to see yet another re-run of Ed, Edd, n Eddy “TV is the bane of my existence. It’s the opacate of […]
Man Slut
“So. How’s it hanging?” The perpetual bachelor looked around. Cozy house, wife, kids. “Hanging? You haven’t changed in all this time, have you,” his friends said. “Got that right. Different girl every night. Great crib. I got it all.” “Really?” The guy patted his wife’s hands as she gave him a hug and grinned at one of his kids. “Yeah.
