THE ADVENTURES OF JJ PICKLETOES

  I did something this week that most people haven’t done, and if they have, it wasn’t easy.  Have you been able to do it?  I bet that you haven’t.   If have you have come away without doing it, you felt like doing something else.  I was in the shopping…

It sure has gone by fast.   It seems like only yesterday I was at home sleeping, most of the night, in my own crib.  Not the HipHop Crib, Place of residence, esp. for a home boy from the hood, but my own crib where I sleep.  The one with sides…

It was for me, sort of.  There were a couple of things this week that I thought were for me, but now I’m not so sure.  They both came on Saturday, two big boxes.  I wonder what is in them?  Is it something for me?  My dad got a pocket…

All this is new to me, both eating with a spoon,  and singing.  Well, poetry if you would call it that.  You see while I am learning to eat with a spoon. sometimes people help me, I am also learning a thing called Free Verse, or Spoken Word. Last weekend…

Yes, I did, I went there, it’s very far away but I had to go.  Other people have gone so I thought I should go as well.  What could go wrong. This time, nothing did. Just because other people have gone, doesn’t mean that I should go, but you have to…

I am not very good, but I will get better.  I am not very good at it, but I just started so what can you expect.  I am sure that you weren’t as good as you are now when you first started either.  You know the famous quote, “Well begun…

I guess I am not going there, now.  I wasn’t sure that I was ready to go there, but now I can’t go there for sure.  My parents say it is for my own safety.  Is it?  Is it really?  Have you ever wanted to do something and then someone,…

Really, it is no wonder that I am confused, and I imagine so are other people.  Maybe you don’t remember some of your early years.   The early years when your parents let you do things that you shouldn’t do, especially things adults shouldn’t do.   Then they tell you…

If I can go here, then why can’t I go anywhere?  This a big place and you need some skills to survive, and I did.  Survive, I mean.  If I can survive here, then I can go anywhere or do anything.  You see you just need to some things that…
