The J-Spot

Footsteps. You see them stretch ahead. Look how far you have to go.   Journeys of a single step. Some on roads to success. Some to failure. Some on the road to recovery... Look, in the water. There's a face there, undulating with the surf. Frequently bearded with the soft swell of sea-foam.   Clear eyes. Chiseled features. Behind you, footsteps stretch out to the horizon.

I have to wake up for work in the morning... I have to get my clothes from the washer and put them on, while brushing my teeth and hair...

I get to spend a little time with my kids when I get home... I get to shower and listen to my wife... I get to go to bed... I get it, do you? -Jay M Horne Jay Horne is an author and publisher out of Bradenton, Florida who has shared a genuine interest in philosophy and martial arts since early childhood.

     As Jim Gaffigan said on his comedy tour, and it applies to everything in adult life, " It's funny how our out look on alcohol changes during our lifetime. It starts out as something we know is wrong. As teenagers we say, 'I don't really like the taste of it, but it's kinda cool,' then it turns into something we think gives us confidence to fit in with the opposite sex during our early twenties, and by the time we reach our forties we're like, "Ya know what, this is the only thing I like about being alive ."      He roused a laugh at that statement, but only because it's true.      It's funny to think back to when we were kids and how wonderful it was to be unaccountable for our sins. I would argue that the reason alcohol, smoking, prescriptions, and illegal drugs are America's favorite past-times, has a lot to do with our desire to recapture that feeling all over again. That sense of unaccountability. Back then we were jus...
