A Karate Story

Well, I told NiteTide I'd post a karate story, and at the time I thought it would be a funny one....But the one that seems to want to be told is this. I practice American Sport Karate, also known as American Freestyle Karate. It's a mix of whatever your instructor happens to know. Fortunately for... Sign in to see full entry.

Tales of Tails: Burying Yorick

They say that the first job you have after graduating from vet school will set the tone for your entire career. The first clinic I worked at, with my amazing assistant Matt, was owned by some of the most generous, tolerant, conscientious people I have ever known. Any one of those men would have...

Tales of Tails: Matt

There used to be a myth out there, a sterotype or misconception, that veterinarians went into animal medicine because they didn't like people.

Tales of Tails: Guilt, Part II

The call came in Saturday afternoon, just after the clinic had closed for the weekend. "I don't know what's wrong with my puppy! He's having a seizure!" "How long has this been going on?" "I don't know...about...ten minutes, I think." I don't need to hear any more. Ten minutes is too long for simple... Sign in to see full entry.

Tales of Tails: Guilt, Part I

My mother hates it that I write violent, erotic fiction. I had been a practicing veterinarian for many years, something that she was extremely proud of. She wants me to write about that, and about funny things. I don't have much confidence in my abilities to entertain without relying on the always... Sign in to see full entry.

Despair

Nothing fills the void, nothing convinces me that I am seen, and felt, and heard, and accepted, that I am a priority in anyone's life as so many are a priority in mine. I hate the discrepency, and hate myself for creating that discrepency. Whoever said compassion is a gift is so wrong. I am sick of... Sign in to see full entry.

About this Blog

Fiction, non-fiction, poetry, random drivel...what doesn't fit under "relationships" or "mature audience" will go here. I am ecclectic, diverse, often dark but can be humorous as well. I try to be open-minded, non-judgemental, and experimental. I'm also long-winded. LOL! Enjoy.
