Book of Jamez

55 y/o malcontent, something of a writer

Welcome to My Little Corner of the Internet

Random thoughts, unsolicited opinions, personal stories, and the occasional rant. I’ve been around long enough to have a few things to say, and apparently nobody thought to stop me from putting them on the internet.

Feeling Adventurous?

Let fate decide what you read next.

  • Wind Blown Rainbows and Butterscotch Dreams…

    My umbrella was destroyed in today’s wind and rain-bent and battered it still managed to block the wind and rain. It was my rainbow umbrella, I loved to spin it in a circle and it always made the song Singing In The Rain come to mind. Today we mourn the loss of another rainbow. “After two years without scotch, your much butter!!!” Butterscotch, get it lol… too funny. So, the computer instructor would really like…

  • Whole Grain Rumors

    The rumor mill is spewing information that the reviewing committee for The Channel Marker (TCC’s Spring collection of Student Literature) is very impressed with my submissions. They do; however, think I’m of African-American ethnicity… It’s the way I spell my name: Jamez How I hate to disappoint!!!

  • DIVORCE

    I’m in a position that is unfamiliar to me, between two people that want a divorce. I know and love both people, and have known them as a couple for about ten years now. There is no violence, adultery, lying, stealing or murder… Just a drifting apart and perhaps a change in ideologies. When I was a kid, a divorce could have stopped the beating of my mother a hundred times over. I’m one of…

  • Censorship?

    I don’t talk about dates on the site. I don’t talk about individual men I may have met here either. The site is public, it is on my email signature so everyone know about it mostly and I certainly don’t want anyone “playing for the camera” so to speak. Besides, every time I tell my friends about a potential guy he suddenly disappears or is proven to be a psycho. I don’t feel comfortable talking…

  • Congressional Recess (Essay 2, Grade: B+)

    In recent times our government seems to have lost touch with what matters in favor of the frivolous and seemingly unimportant. The evidence clearly points to a loss of direction with Congressional Investigations into why CEOs of Oil companies are rich, a congressional recess called after the disaster of Hurricane Katrina or even the short lived “Freedom Fries” movement: …all references to “french fries” and “French toast” on the menus of the restaurants and snack…

  • Happy Monday?

    It’s true, I had a happy Monday, I know it sounds simply absurd, but I did. To start with, let me say: Folger’s coffee is not as bad as I remembered it. Sure, I’m still a coffee snob, Starbucks is better… but for your poor college student Folger’s will do. Second, damn the weather was great today, listening to Rush on the headphones while biking to school is a great way to start your day.…

  • Updates

    Tuesday I handed in my Essay: Congressional Recess, which is about the way our lawmakers seem to waste time, once it’s graded I’ll let you know how I did. At the third draft stage my Professor did say he “hated it.” I love that, I need that kind of honest feedback. I then proceeded to rewrite the piece which is what was handed in. Essay #3 is a Documented Essay, I plan to write on…

  • Forgotten Faces Unforgotten Fears

    I cannot recall how he looked, his image has faded from my mind, if only the memories would fade as easily. He shattered my childhood and helped shape the way I view men today. The seduction and molestation changed my life forever. If he walked up to me today would his face be remembered? Would it bring back to consciousness the shame, the demoralization, the guilt? Would I feel hate? Disgust? Would I feel at…

  • Spring Semester 06

  • Dark and Handsome

    As I turn to leave I see the desperation in his eyes begging me to come back to bed for one last kiss. I would love to lay next to him, running my hands over his body, my fingers through his dark hair. He never wants me to leave, it’s always the same: his needs his wants come first in his mind. Nothing but my presence next to him will do, he loves no other.…
