Beware the Witnesses!!

• The state of Illinois abolished the death penalty in 2011 because…
• Of the 27 people on death row… 13 were cleared by DNA evidence.

• And all were on death row primarily due to eye witnesses.

  Last week a man was released after 21 years in prison for murder after the witness who testified against this man; had a moment of conscience and claimed responsibility for the above mentioned murder.

Then there’s that ridiculous Van Gogh cutting off his ear and giving it to a prostitute!?!? The witness to this crime was master swordsman Paul Gauguin who Vincent was angry at for leaving.

Beware the witnesses!

The story goes that Vincent cut off his ear and offered ear to a prostitute and most bought it as the truth because I guess it sounded so reasonable!

It never happened.

There’s an actual police report on the incident and the only witness to Van Gogh losing his ear was master swordsman and all around prick, Paul Gauguin.

Yes I feel it’s time to start spreading the truth on this one and recognize that Paul Gauguin cut Vincent’s ear and started the lie, that most bought as… to strange not to be true?

On a side note, Vincent was unable to remember anything about the incident due to intoxication.

You’re welcome!

It’s later here but there’s still light.

Ego’s humbled and far from bright.

The times arrived a welcome sight.

To let it go and come what might.

The heat

The Grind

The steady

Unwind.

The wealth

Be kind

That peace

Of mind.

He appeared out of the sun…

At the beginning of a long line of cars.

No offerings were offered to his cup.

Held a lit cigarette beneath grey hair.

I gave him a bottle of water held in earth ending plastic.

He said, ” God bless you. ”

The light changed to an americano and a scone.

She said, ” I was taught by my mother, that to love was to destroy. ”

She continued, ” I was taught that I will only love you as long as you do what I want and as I do.”

Truth is bearable and washes away a multitude of sins. The horror of being raised by a narcissist.

It just kinda makes me wonder how common this flawed phenomena is?

Makes my childhood all of a sudden seem like a picnic in the park!

Dennis Mantin

Is it the fact that I see beauty everywhere? That I want practically every woman I meet?

Fortunately for all involved I meet very few… I just gaze and admire!

The exotic plethora of choices in our city country makes it truly a great time to be alive!

What Crisis!?

Dennis Mantin

I must make some nervous…

Or my silence leaves room to be filled with the dialogue of others who have so much to say.

When I am tired especially; my tolerance for such chit chat is not available. I offend without intent in my struggles for peace and quiet and live with that and offer my sincerest apologies in curbing anyone’s right to speak freely.

I recognize this is my issue. I get overwhelmed when I can’t hear my own thoughts…
