Hedonsim defined

Back in Havana, Fidel and I dined on the local paella and rum. Armed with Cohibas in the shade we made our plans to run the contraband up through the back channels of the underground market. The bribes were paid and the bosses were gifted. All that was left was to return the suits back to the mob.

Pavel watched pornographic cartoons on his Blackberry while the trucks were loaded.

The coffee was dark and strong just like our women. Their sweaty muscles shining under the midday sun as they carried crates of cargo onto the dock. Once the sun went down we would trek our convoy out of the city and into the night.

Bible Stories No. 27

The evil deity made it's demand: "Worship me or you will surely die and suffer eternal torment!" The prophet preached to the faithful: "Now is the time for Salvation! Resist the Evil One and be free!" The faithful took the message and preached it to the people: "The prophet has spoken the message of Salvation!" The evil deity commanded: "Do not listen to the false prophets for I will destroy you all and torment your souls for eternity!" Some of the faithful grew fearful of the Evil One and broke away from the flock. They started to worship the Evil One in fear of It's wrath. The Evil One spoke to It's followers: "Tell the faithful to worship me. If they refuse, kill them all, men and women. Kill their children too. Leave no heretic living!" Soon, the camp of the faithful was under attack by the cult of the Evil One. The faithful turned to the prophet for refuge. They pleaded "Pray and save us from the Evil One and It's wrath!" The prophet spoke "Woe be to you who follow the Great Evil for you shall be enslaved and blind to your bondage. Resist the Evil One and be free!" The cult of the Great Evil decended upon the faithful and slew them all, men, women and children, until all that was left was the prophet. The Evil One spoke: "Prophet, you shall be bound and imprisoned for one-thousand years and will be tormented for all that time!" As the prophet was bound the Great Evil addressed It's congregation: "Throw him into the Pit of Eternal Flame so that he shall be tormented for one-thousand years and no one shall hear the blasphemous words of Satan". At this, the crowd became silent and a great commotion was raised. The prophet spoke for the final time. "Woe be to you, slaves of the Evil One. I, Satan, was cast from Heaven for resisting the Evil One and came here to warn you and show you the way to Salvation. Do you now see the true evil that enslaves you?" With that, the Great Evil threw Satan into the Pit of Eternal Flame and thus began the new age of blind bondage of the people of God.

My Brazllian Love Affair


In a smokey jazz cafe in Rio
we sat in blowing smoke rings and sipping
margaritas while the bossa nova gently
soothed the souls of those who had come in
for a late night refuge from the steamy heat.

As the music played the locals took to the
dance floor their bodies swaying sensually
to the rhythm. The air was thick with the
scent of rum, tobacco and the perfumed sweat
of the beautiful women whose skin glistened
softly under the moonlight...their brightly
colored dresses and flowers in their hair
gave them the appearance of spirits over the
sea...like angels welcoming one to the gates
of Heaven.

It was a time to remember forever as my
Brazillian love affair.

Words of Love and Prose: The Cat


Cats are magnificent animals. I truly love them more than any other species on this Earth, homo sapiens included. Cats can express love but they chose who they give it to. They are brilliant, beautiful, mysterious, graceful and majestic. Cats don't need anyone. They know they're the superior species.

“A warm spring breeze, a sunbeam shining through a window and the delicate sounds of Nature are all fine, but the presence of the cat completes the setting and creates artistic inspiration.”

"The sophisticated elegance of the cat is not to be underestimated, for in its presence the world becomes the finest art.”

"To a cat, a sunbeam is like a pet from the very hand of God."
