My main source of distrust and dislike of new people is because of a man named Donny Jordan and the night I almost got my family killed. Or to go back... It all started as a regular day or at least for me. I was getting off the school bus from the alternative school from which I attended for two…

Pauli has always been one to create controversy. I could point to a number of times in his career he's said wild things or been in the center of drama. Let's take a…

A pile of riches sits before him. He looks up at the horizon carved by sand dunes and promptly closes and latches the box. The man grunts as he lifts the…
