His Name Was Steve.
This is going to be tough to write.
I got a text message late last night that I thought I’d never get. Of course, I never thought I’d get it because I’ve chosen to disappear slowly over the last five years. Between election shenanigans and the pandemic, I don’t have much in common with anyone from back home. That doesn’t make it sting any less. My world has lost another god.
I met Steve when I…

McConnell ‘Continues To Oppose Marijuana Banking,’ His Office Says As Another Senate Aide Faults GOP Leadership For Derailing Reform Plans
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) “continues to oppose marijuana banking,” a spokesperson for his office told Marijuana Moment on Monday. And another Senate source says that GOP leadership’s opposition to the reform as a policy matter is obstructing the path to advancing the cannabis measure as part of must-pass aviation legislation—rather than being it…McConnell ‘Continues To Oppose…

Rev-iew: Meow Wolf Dallas
I will be adding absolutely ZERO photographs to this article. You need to see this place with your own eyes.
I’ve done my share of traveling over the years, and, most times, it was on someone else’s dime. What I’ve noticed is that Dallas likes to borrow (or downright steal) ideas from other cities, water it down, and present it to the citizens of this fair (unfair) city as though it’s something…

DART Dumps Disabled
by Dare Cloud
When I decided last week that I would finally use my journalistic powers for the purposes of good, I never thought I would stumble upon a story so quickly. As luck would have it, my typical morning commute turned into a tale of power trips and racially motivated discrimination. As I always say, “Stay classy, Dallas.”
I should learn to expect nothing less.

2 Years.
2 years ago today, I begged my wife to ask me to stop drinking because I didn’t love myself enough to do it for me. She did, and I did. Not a drop in 2 years. Pats on the back are welcome, but if anyone struggles with alcohol addiction, just know it CAN be beat. This is the main reason I changed my pen name. C. Derick Miller was a womanizing alcoholic who has no place in my life. I’m glad he’s…

Right Here
Today I sit. I question much. Maybe I don’t know the answers. Maybe I’m not supposed to. I think about how, I’ve never been perfect. That’s what dad always wanted from me. All I wanted was to make my dad proud. Now we don’t talk. I’m right here. While I sit no one calls. I […]Right Here

The Bananas of Bandanas
Ever since leaving my job on the Six Flags and Texas Railroad (see several previous posts for reasoning), I’ve had an abundance of things I never would’ve owned prior. I’m too much of a “what if” packrat to throw any of it away.
First up would be flashlights. I’ve always had a few hanging around here and there in toolboxes and vehicles, but rarely do I ever need one. If I did, I would use one…

Dear Austin,
Brave students: we see you.
Professional journalists: we see you.
Law enforcement: WE SEE YOU.
This has nothing to do with religion and everything to do the preservation of human life.
Don’t play into modern society’s microscopic attention spans.

Just Let Me Gush
I want to cry, but i don’t want the narcicistic, self-serving sympathy comments that would accompany such an outcry. The normal stuff isn’t working; I took a long walk, I’ve drank more than my daily share of water, and my meds are on point. What now?
I think it all began early this morning, but I’m not quite sure what sent me wandering down this path. I’m sick of being hopelessly depressed all…
