The King and Little Surfer Girl

-


     I was given advice by a writer who's opinion I respect, Steve Abbott. He told me the best way to get more readers to tune into my blog was by posting more work - at least one blog a week - and that each post should include a picture or two.
     I've taken this advice to heart and have written regular blogs ever since, in an attempt to grow my audience. It couldn't get any smaller.
     This blog, I call it: The King and Little Surfer Girl, contains a funny poem and a short story that is part of an anthology I re-edited last year.
      I'll just keep these coming, it's fun.
      Hopefully it's fun for you too.
      Cheerio,

The King of the Friend Zone

He’s the King of the Friend Zone,
He’s a lucky guy,
He’s friends with many women,
Though he doesn’t know why.
Women like him,
They call him a friend,
They text and call him,
All about their boyfriends.
He’s not attractive to women,
He’s not sexy and spry,
He’s sleeps with the dog,
He’s just another lonely guy.
He’s the King of the Friend Zone,
Though he doesn’t have a clue,
How to leave the friend zone,
Do you?
Being single isn’t so bad,
He thinks,
Another rejection,
Another drink.
Try as he might,
He can’t crack the code,
Another lonely night,
Another wasted load.
He likes them all,
He likes all types,
What he doesn’t like,
Is they never stay the night.
They just shake his hand,
In the end,
With the usual response:
“Let’s be friends.”


Here for your enjoyment is another tale of a hapless loser.

Ladybird Animal Sanctuary

A couple weeks ago, we had in our living room, three big hearted individuals, Melissa McClelland , Janine Stoll and Lisa Winn , from Ladybird Animal Sanctuary . The following is the transcription of the interview. You can find the video version up above. How did it all start? “I’m an animal lover, and a full-time touring musician," said McClellan. "And I think I just wanted part of my life to focus on my love for animals, because so much of my life is wrapped up being on the road. So I brought it up with these girls, and we all thought it was a great idea, so we’ve been talking about it for a few years now.” “I had already been doing it small scale," said Winn, "because I’ve worked at animal shelters, and had already been rescuing and fostering for a number of years.” “I felt like the three of us come from different backgrounds, and we work so nicely together," said McClelland. "Our personalities, we just click as friend. And Lisa has the background w

Best Metal'ish albums of 2022

We use the term Metal’ish because some of our favorite albums could be considered metal adjacent, not metal necessarily, but awesome none-the-less and worthy of this list. We are always on the hunt for the next awesome metal album and this year there was no shortage of great stuff, in fact, this list could have been a lot longer. Finding all these albums on our own would be near impossible. What we do is wait until all the YouTube metal nerds put out their metal lists and we watch them - 20 or so videos so far -  and any albums we haven’t heard yet, we check them out. Basically we let them find all the good albums that we missed and then check them out and see what we think. The criteria for this list is easy: is it a kick ass album? Yes or no? If no, then it’s probably power metal. If yes, we listen to it until we get sick of it. Anyways, here is the list of top metal’ish albums of 2022. We are reversing a trend and instead of making you wait to see what is #1, we will just start ther

Top 10 Reasons I’m Not Surprised I Don’t Have a Girlfriend.

I must have picked the right font, because it looks like Gop 10 ! Ok, it's no surprise that I'm procrastinating writing my newest project, though I did write a short story for the Toronto Star Short Story contest, which means I still haven't given up my dream of becoming a successful author. Lucky for me, being a successful author means: completing a project I start. Also, it should't come as a surprise that I'm single, so I've compiled a Top 10 list of the reasons for this. Top 10 Reasons I’m Not Surprised I Don’t Have a Girlfriend. #10 - I trim my toenails with my teeth. #9 - When I pulled my laundry out of the dryer, I didn’t find any underwear, that’s when I realized I was still wearing the pair I washed last week. #8 - I’m broke and broken. #7 - I run like a girl and sit down to pee. #6 - I cut my own hair. #5 - I cry when I watch ‘The Notebook’. #4 - I’ll eat anything that’s free. #3 - I’ll drink anything that’s free. #2 - The minute I realize I’
