My generation grew up very different from today’s. We were taught manners by a smack on the ass, or upside the head. we were given spankings as needed and we were taught to respect our elders. We had chores to do, and weren’t given what ever we wanted just to shut us up.

We heard things like if you don’t stop crying I will give you something to cry about and they meant it too. I grew up with a violent step-father and a cruel mother, yet I survived. I was pulled from bed in the middle of the night and beaten for whatever I did on a given day, my feet were burned for stealing cookies, I was hit with two by fours, belts and fireplace pokers. Was I really as bad as they made me out to be, that they had to put me away for two years in an institution?

I grew up reading comic books and books, running thru the woods, catching frogs and turtles,climbing trees. I loved the outdoors and would go fishing with my stepfather even though I feared him move than anyone I knew in life.

Mom was nonexistent to me, never around for a hug or a kiss or to encourage me, she just called me every name in the book as I grew up. Her word to me was I was a bastard without a conscious, a little bastard, a prick and so many other names, I didn’t know my name until I got to ten years old. Was it right nope but it went that way.

My step-father refused to attend my Elementary school graduation, and told me he could shoot me and bury me in my backyard and it wouldn’t bother him one bit. Yet he forced me to help him build stone walls and rebuild the house we lived in as my elder brother ran around playing sports and disappeared. So. I was built in babysitter to my younger siblings,dads helper when it came to work around the house and a recluse until 15 or 16.

We didn’t have color television until 1970 and when we got it my Uncle, broke it and we were on a portable black and white for years. we had bikes when I was younger but they were stolen from a shed in Wolcott, where dad had a shed on a piece of property he wanted to build on. So I walked everywhere until I dropped out of High School and bought my first car for seventy five bucks and had to fix it right and insure it myself

So yeah, times were different back then when I was still a kid. I watched TV programs as a kid like Lost in Space, the Mickey Mouse Club,My Favorite Martian, Car 54 where are you?, Mchale’s Navy, It Takes a Thief, The Man from Uncle and Get Smart. Gilligan’s Island was a fun show also and so was Andy Griffith’s Mayberry RFD. We Laughed at Jackie Gleason Show and the Honey Mooners, Ed Sullivan and The Dean Martin Shows. Life was all different back then, no computers, cell phones, gaming systems, nope go outside and play. That was life back then folks.

I grew up with Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon,and some of the better Presidents of my generation. People voted for real people who would take real action and create jobs, and help Americans with medical costs and so much more.Sadly, now a day we are stuck with politicians who can only see how prestigious and rich they can get off of us. Sad isn’t it folks. we had The Kennedys, Martin Luther King and so many more to lookup to. Who do we have today that is respected and listened to like they were back then, no one folks, it is sad.

Today is March 15th, 2016 folks we have to make choices from Trump, to Cruz and from Hillary Clinton to Bernie Sanders for the next President. we have to listen to Republican who talk like they are bigots and prejudiced, as well as clueless to what is really needed in America. Mr. Trump has no experience and no real knowledge of anything. Mr. Cruz is a religious zealot actually.Mr.Bernie Sanders, is an outright Socialist by his own admission and his views are too outlandish to come true for America. Hillary Rodham Clinton at least has experience and has really worked at each position she has held. She makes common sense and refuses to promise things she can’t guarantee. She is without doubt the best choice for America this Election season and anyone not sure of it or unbelieving in her, should look a lot more closer. In my opinion she has earned the right to become President of the United States and any bullshit about her should just be forgotten for she is the one to lead us forward. We some of the past generational knowledge in today’s world, and new ideas also a combo of it all will return america to it’s place in the World. Vote for Hillary Folks, if you don’t, don’t cry when the country goes to hell in a basket under others. Vote!

 

         On March 15, 2016, The primaries for each Party hit the wall of the Midwest States that can make or break a candidate in the race for President. I hope the states involved realize the responsibility they carry now.

           If Donald Trump wins 2 or three of these states he will be that much closer to the nomination for  the Republican Party, is this really what you want folks. He has insulted, women, Muslims, and so many others it is sad. He talks violence and anger and encourages people to physically fight with one another. Sad really, do you all really want him representing us to the world?

The Democratic candidates are fighting it out also with no name calling or vulgarities, and if we all have common sense and look at the numbers, Hillary Clinton is going to get the Nomination and we all know it too. Bernie Sanders is running a clean race and I am impressed by  his doing so, but the numbers do not add up for him to win it all do they folks? He is just prolonging the race and giving an advantage to Mr. Trump. The longer it continues on the less time for a  Hillary Clinton, Donald trump fight. While I admire Bernie Sanders true grit and attitude I disagree with the prolonging of this primary, for more reason than one. I hope Mr. Sanders can see it also and will politely end it all and back Hillary Clinton. Once Hillary has Bernie Sanders as a backer, the fear shall grow the Republican side, for once united the Democrats will win.

So on March 15, 2015, Ohio, Illinois,Florida, and North Carolina carry the fates of this nation on their backs. If you vote wrong folks you may elect a person who believes he is a demi-god, and a fascist. Dont do this to us here in America ok!  It will be a sad occasion for Americans everywhere! 

There can never be a wall between America and Mexico or Canada either, we are one land mass folks.Mexico will never allow it or pay for it and it isn’t needed. It’s sad when a major candidate for election to the Presidency wants to separate and change everything in foolish ways. It won’t happen folks, and is a stupid way to blow american cash!

   Vote for Hillary Clinton, she tells you the truth, is not making any promises she can’t keep and makes sense.

That Kiss By: William M. McCurrach
I want to tell you a story you will believe,It was a long time ago, and no one will grieve! Pause;
It was a rainy November night, the darkness fell, As we stood, there in fright.
But the memory would burn for years on end,That gentle kiss my female friend.
That kiss echoed through the years,I remember giving it to you, to stop your tears.
When we broke, you smiled you see,Said you had to go home from me.
That kiss lives on in my mind,That kiss never died even in time.
Five Years passed by and I saw you again, You invited me over to have tea like a friend,
As we laughed and reminisced, suddenly up came that kiss. I never answered your question you see,
Because I knew you weren’t for me. That kiss still lingers in your mind and yes indeed even in mine.
One gentle kiss that we both shared Yet never once did you or I say we cared.
But the kiss lingers on till the day we die ,And I shall never tell you why?
Yes That kiss lingers on and onnnnnnnnnnnnn, till we dieeeeeeeeeeeeee!
.

The Poems of WMM is a little  book of poems by me done over time and compiled into one little book for all to read and enjoy. I have a second also I did called Poems of Lust and Romance, these are all poems meant for adults and romantics and i hope they can be enjoyed by all adults. I do not wish them to be read by children at all, but parents or couples still in love with one another should read and enjoy them fully.

I have also done many other little small books and stories I suspect some will enjoy and others may not. Some are military stories, one is a story of two Vietnam Veterans I met while in the National Guard in Connecticut.

Others are stories of my childhood days and teenage romances that were never fulfilled, and a few are made up murder mysteries. The point is I write, to let off steam sometimes, to deal with emotions other times and PTSD too. So, I try to sell them on Amazon’s Kindle E-books, the purpose of it is also to try to raise some cash to help my cancer ridden wife and myself who had lung cancer survive and keep our home.

We currently are living off of  my Social Security Disability and My Veteran’s Disability Benefits and her Social security payments period. To do so is to live in a limited budget sense and it become difficult to pay the bills here, and to live in comfort. I refuse to sell my home to live a normal life, because we had a fifteen year mortgage and are now in our final year to pay it off. 15 Payments are left is I am correct and it has been our home since 2000.

I do not call myself a professional author or publisher or even editor, but the stories I write are in my head from my living them or fabricating them to survive. A little consideration by some to help us survive would be nice and doesn’t cost much does it when my little books/ stories are priced at.99 cents to 6.00 dollars. But we shall survive most of all, no matter what.

My writings and little books may be found on my AMAZON Kindle Author Page at

        Families are sometimes funny, different and unique. In my case my family was none of the above with one exception, it seems we were instilled with, being divided, by our parents. My sister and I have overcome this, but, we have 3 other siblings, brothers t be precise that did not.

My elder brother is estranged from everyone in the family in his own way. He grew up protected by mom, and playing sports and running from home. MY younger brother right under me, had a hard time due to his father not trusting him and beating on him so he took off and ended up dead in California at 30 years old, from Aids from drugs. The youngest is also estranged from all because he inherited his father’s paranoia, and thinks everyone wants to steal from him. It is sad to live life without your siblings and trying hard to hang onto to the family you have left.

The debate last night turned into a free for all no one needed to see! IT is the first time I have ever seen grown men attack each other like school kids in a play ground. He said this, he did this, he is that, what the hell was that all about, one thing, take Trump down a notch before Super Tuesday is all. I don’t think it worked but it was one mean double team by Rubio and Cruz on Trump!Did it work only time will tell, truthfully, but it wasn’t a real debate it was a circus and was embarrassing and humiliating to watch. The republicans should be ashamed of having the top five they have running for President acting this way on public television, what does it say of their party? Sad isn’t it folks!

   Well with all that said and the debate over, Super Tuesday is coming fast enough and we shall see what america thinks very soon. I just hope the circus will not come to television again!

            

        POLITICS is becoming a joke in America! They should all be taught one basic lesson folks, and that is they can’ get elected without solutions and plans and figures needed to advance their plans and ideas!

Donald Trump is definitely looking like the Republican Nominee for President at this point and if you look closely it will be just almost impossible for Cruz, or Rubio to catch him. Sometimes, you don’t get what you want Republicans and you have to accept who you get. It is rough isn’t it?

 On the Democratic side it definitely looks like Hillary Clinton will get the Nomination. Now Mr. Sanders may give her some embarrassing moments along the way and have his stay at the convention, but in the end show me a way he can get the delegates he needs and I will say differently. Now be logical at this point in time it is time some candidates get out of the run for President, so we can see the front runners who are left on each side go head to head,it will be interesting then.

Next lets, talk the right of the President of The United States Nominating a Justice to the Supreme Court. Congress has it’s responsibility in this matter as does the President and no way they should not look at one Nominated by President Obama. Your gonna leave a vacancy in the court just so you can control who it is going in? Thats crap and the Senate know better. . They  will have to hold the hearings and vote on whoever President Obama puts up period wake up. There is no precedent for any other action if a Nomination is made. Talk is cheap folks and many this election year are talking crap and thinking they can do things they want their way, bottom line, the Fore Fathers laid out a Constitution just for these reasons.

I have what maybe the best question of the current election cycle, why the hell would we really want a wall between us and Mexico? Why the hell do we really need one now, when we have never needed one before? It’s silly, no matter how many illegal immigrants we get coming thru, Mexico is not our enemy so negotiate with them and stop the people crossing the border in a legal way that will work between the two countries. Open communication will help in this situation and we all know it so wake up.

Health care in America is my next point here, whether it is Obama Care, Medicare Coverage or some other plan, remember you politicians gave us the current set up and if you change it ya better have something in place to instantly coverage all currently on it. Millions without health care in america will be an instant mess and we all know it. Whats wrong with doing what other countries have done, and giving coverage to all like they did in Canada and other countries? Simple, no one is gonna make big profits that way is all, and america can’t have that can we?

I have watched all of this go on in this political cycle in america and I am ashamed of the Americans running for offices. You have looked like fools arguing in public over things that have no place in public. Our security and defense of our country, the size of our military and more is broadcast all over the world, do you see any other country doing that? Nope! Sadly, we get too caught up in ourselves in America and we don’t stop to think of what comes out of our mouths when we run for office do we politicians, you should be ashamed.
