Are You Soakin’ It Up? by: Gene Simmons …And holding it way down inside you like an old sponge? Be careful. Just like an old sponge that’s held its liquid a little too long, we may start to get stinky in a day or two. I’m referring to “soaking up†all that wonderful information that [...]
The Village Idiot by: Gene Simmons That would be me! From what I can see, I’m just beginning the second year of a minimum four year sentence as a Village Idiot. I say minimum because the sentence may be extended at any time and without advance notice – written or verbal. Actually, I’m not treading [...]

An expert from another organization says that if these preliminary findings hold true that it will provide another “potential [...]

Wow! by: Gene Simmons Do you ever have “wow†moments? You know, those times when your little brain just lights up and sort of quivers from something you’ve just seen or heard or thought about? I seem to do that a lot. I don’t know why. I just do. And it feels good. Like this [...]
