Wednesday Motivational – Deal With It

Life is hard.  That's never going to change.  That's just life. I've been dealing with a lot of things lately.  Some good, but mostly bad.  They've gotten me down.  I've had a difficult time with certain issues lately. But I've dealt with it. If I hadn't, it would have been much more difficult. Deal

tWBS On Relationships – Special Edition

Originally, this week we were going to begin talking about love and loss from a few years ago.  But then wordpress ate it.  Twice.  And I don't have time to type it all again this week.  So we'll get to that next week. So even though we've been working backwards chronologically,

tWBS On Relationships – IV

In May of 2018 I traveled to Venice Beach, California for two weeks as I sometimes do.  The Venice and Santa Monica area is probably my favorite place in the world.  Venice in particular is a very interesting place to me, if for no other reason than all races and

tWBS On Relationships – III (The Former tWLS)

This one's gonna hurt me, just so you know. And I know at the end of last week I said this would be a multi-parter.  I've changed my mind on that.  I'm just going to leave a lot of stuff out because... ....the better part of valor, one might say. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4S3CV9hu6E OK, first for

tWBS On Relationships – Part II (aka Why Is Gerald Here?)

OK, so in mid-May I drove up to Maryland.  I met up with some old High School friends and had some nice dinners.  Saw the Yankees beat the ever loving hell out of the Orioles.  You know, the standard fare. But that aside, when I checked into the hotel I was

tWBS On Relationships – Part I

OK, I churned this out literally overnight after going back and forth on whether to even start writing this stuff.  I am not fully on board here with writing these posts, just so you all know.  And mostly it's because I'm still pissed off.  So don't get your hopes up

Social media has become a catchphrase.  And the number of platforms available for it are almost uncountable.  Unrecognizable. But is it social?  No, it's a way to avoid. Personally, I AM on Facebook.  And I hate it.  But it's the only way some of the people I care about ever communicate

Your Lesser Footy AM open thread: How soccer helped end apartheid in South Africa

The featured image is of the Orlando Pirates and the Kaiser Chiefs, two bitter enemies in the South African Premier league who are playing this morning. The Soweto Derby is one of the most legendary and insanely violent matches in the world. There has been multiple times where these two

Celebrity Super Bowl Picks: Tomi Lahren

Many news organizations and pop culture websites report Super Bowl picks from today's hottest celebrities. Here at DoorFliesOpen, we decided to request picks from horrible people instead. Hatemongering attention whore Timmi Latrine answered the call and submitted this poorly-worded screed for our amusement. This is entirely unedited and in her

To Peyton

Dearest brother, and venerated golden boy, As I write this correspondence to you, I can hear the dogs howling in the distance, my time of unchecked power nearing it's end. While the leaves have not yet begun to blush with their autumnal splendor, I truly have entered the winter of my
