I was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease (PD) in January of 2015, at the age of 42. Five years later, the progression of PD forced me into an early retirement. It was almost another two years before I finally made this blog happen.

Immortal Urine Stains on my Soul

November 30, 2022 · Leave a comment ·

Immortal urine stains on my soul

God was tinkling and missed the bowl

How on earth did I get

On the floor near god’s toilet?

God’s apartment should never be

A hang-out for the likes of me

Much less should I have been sprawled

In the room where nature called

But how I got there doesn’t matter

I just care about the splatter

Of the immortal urine stream

Whose wet warmth woke me from a dream

My immortal soul has now been stained

And like god’s bladder, I feel drained

O how will I ever get my soul clean?

I need an ethereal washing machine

During the spring of 2013, after more than 20 years living in Colorado, I made the decision to move to North Carolina by the end of the year. You would think that 20 years would be enough for me to see everything I wanted to … Continue reading Leftover Colorado, part one (June 2013)

More Random Thoughts from a Damn Weirdo

© 2022 by Cedric Williams It’s probably impossible to say “I am sneezing” while you are actually sneezing. Something to try, though. How is it physically possible to hold a bong when you have hooves? Or am I completely misinterpreting the phrase “high horse”? Listening … Continue reading More Random Thoughts from a Damn Weirdo

About a month ago, I posited that U.S. Interstate Highway 70 through western Colorado is the most scenic length of Interstate in the country. Consider today’s post to be a continuation of that thought. In June 2013, I headed back up I-70 with a small … Continue reading Vail Pass (June 2013)
