The Late Burkette Greene
Today would've been my grandfather's birthday if he had lived. He was born on May 1, 1910 and died on February 7, 1998 at the age of eighty-seven. He lived in Sneedville, Tennessee. His name was Burkette Greene. He was sixty-one when I was born.
My grandmother's name was Laura and she and Papaw had six kids. Sadly, the youngest of the six kids died when he was a month old. His name was Burkette Greene Junior. Their five other kids were/are Ina Mae, Everette, James, Norman and Agnes who was my mom. Sadly, Mom, Norman and Ina Mae are deceased.

Glass Joe
I'm an ex-prizefighter and my name is Glass Joe.
If you're wondering if I could win fights, the answer is no.
I got my ass kicked by a shrimp and his name is Little Mac.
I got knocked out in the first round when that boy attacked.
I'm called Glass Joe because my jaw is made of glass.
It was humiliating because anybody could kick my ass.
People laugh because I can't fight and it's something I resent.
I happen to be Glass Joe Biden and I'm the President.
I run America but I sure can't take a punch.
If you hit me in my stomach, I'll lose my...

Depraved Drug Smugglers
Before you continue to read this article, I feel that I should warn you. If you are faint of heart, pleases don't continue to read. This article is about something that's very unpleasant and sadly, it's true. It's about some really despicable drug smugglers.
These people were no ordinary drug smugglers. These people are the scum of the earth. They are true pieces of garbage and I know for a fact that they will burn in Hell when they die. Those drug smugglers tried to smuggle drugs from Mexico to the USA by using a baby.

I Lost A Neighbor And A Friend
My neighbor died on April 8, 2021 and his name was Joe.
I learned about his death and I'm saddened to see him go.
He wasn't just my neighbor, he was also my friend.
It was sad when I learned that his life came to an end.
For the last year or two, he was staying at a nursing home and his house was empty.
I learned about his untimely and unfortunate death when I saw his obituary.
Joe was a welcome change from the people who formerly owned his house.
Joe moved next door in 1996 and a few years ago, he lost his beloved spouse.

Ten Year Anniversary
I've been living alone on my property for ten years. Mom and Dad moved to Sneedville ten years ago today on April 14, 2011. I found the house where they moved to online. It was a big fixer upper. It took Dad three months to get it fixed up.
Before Mom and Dad bought their house, the people who previously lived there made drugs, and the Police confiscated the house. Because of this, Mom and Dad got their house at a cheap price. I gave them $2000 that I saved up to help them rebuild their house. But when they moved, I had no idea that they would both die just two years later.

Forty Years Of Playing Video Games
I've been playing video games for forty years. I began playing video games in April of 1981 at the age of nine. The first game that I played was Phoenix. For those who may not know, Phoenix is an arcade game that was released by Centuri in 1980.
When my brother started talking about playing arcade games, I thought I wouldn't be interested, but it made me curious. I decided to check out the Phoenix arcade machine at Kroger. I put a quarter in the coin slot and fell in love. I now own a Phoenix arcade machine that I bought in 2002 but sadly, it no longer works.

It Won't Be Your Way Or The Highway
You think it's going to be your way or the highway but that's not how it's going to be.
You'd better change your way of thinking if you want to continue to be married to me.
You are not always going to get your way.
You'd better learn that if you want me to stay.
You need to learn that marriage is a two-way street, it's not a one-way street.
When it comes to our marriage, I'm not going to take a back seat.
You don't care about my dreams and desires, you think it's all about you.
If you don't change, I'll have this marriage annulled, that's what I'll do. ...

Escape From Monster Manor
Escape From Monster Manor is a video game that was released for the 3DO game console in 1993. It's a First-Person Shooter that was inspired by Wolfenstein 3D. I bought it at Walmart in 1995 for $30.00.
In this game, you must search for pieces of a magical Talisman to end a curse. You must shoot Grim Reapers, ghosts, spiders, floating heads, etc. You must also search for keys to unlock doors. When you get wounded, your hand starts getting bloody. When it gets extremely bloody, you die.
I'm sorry to have to say it, but this game isn't very good. It only has twelve levels...

A Broken Friendship
When it comes to forgiveness, you won't forgive, you won't budge.
You truly hate my guts and you sure do know how to hold a grudge.
I did you wrong but you did me wrong too.
But forgiving me is something you won't do.
I'll admit that I made mistakes but when it comes to admitting yours, you won't.
I wanted to make up with you but after seeing how much you hate me, I don't.
If there's ever a grudge holding contest, I know that you'll win first place.
You hate me and because of that, I hope we never meet again face to face.
I wish that you didn't hate me...
