How Great is the Power of Loneliness?

Mightier than the sword and the pen.

At the root from which temptation stems.

My fingers begin to slip,

Into the Devil’s hand who extends.

 

Loneliness is an unequivocal nightmare.

A constant reminder.

Alone. By yourself. On your own.

You have no help.

 

You think of the old friend, you see their back.

Think about the friend you wish you had,

Who makes you think back,

To the old friend who turned their back.

 

All of the others who you embrace,

To feel comfortable, to feed your ego,

to protect your insecurities,

to pretend, to hide your true face.

 

Your darkness is lit by that candle.

It covers the greatest fear in your life.

Afraid of dreams becoming memories,

And memories becoming ghosts.

 

A never-ending nightmare,

With no awakening in the future,

No idea where this nightmare will go,

And a desperate soul reaching to the depths of hell for help.

 

Loneliness has no boundaries,

Regardless of the impermeability.

Eventually slipping into slumber,

Shaking with fear – the nightmare is there.

 

“Yet, we do know,

Where we all should go,

After their loneliness

Has got to them.”

 

To the alpha, the omega.

The creator, the savior.

He opens eyes during nightmares,

Grabs your hand, and removes the one extended.

Would You Rather: Questions 121-130

This edition of "Would You Rather" is credited to the NBA Would You Rather NBA Account on Instagram ( See Here ). Adding to the fun, this edition (and possibly future ones) are all NBA basketball questions.  121. Who would you rather have on your favorite NBA team - Giannis Antetokounpo or James Harden?  Seeing how I'm a lifelong suffering Knicks fan, the thought of any of these guys in blue and orange is hard to believe. With that said, I'm taking the Greek Freak for this reason - I enjoy watching him play a bit more. Nothing against Harden who is amazing as well, but at times, the ball sticks and that isn't always fun. Plus, I feel like we haven't yet seen a finished Giannis. 122. Would you rather have Giannis Antetokounpo with no driving ability or James Harden with no Three-Point shooting ability?  This is definitely a weird and unique one, but I'll take Harden. Giannis without his strength doesn't offer much. However, if Harden's d...

Knicks Postseason 2026, NBA Finals vs. San Antonio Spurs

Part of me is in disbelief that we are here...the other part is raging and ready to go. Four more wins! Let's. GO! So much of this NBA Finals feels poetic, historical, and dream-worthy, for so many reasons, to so many different parties. This includes the NBA office. I'm sure they are loving this matchup for their biggest stage.  While defeating the Spurs does exercise some demons from 1999, I'm not sure I care about that at all. As noted from my thoughts in the Eastern Conference Finals, at this point, just win. Review Thoughts from Round 1 Review Thoughts from Round 2 Review Thoughts from Eastern Conference Finals Just. Win.  I don't care who the opponent is. The narrative that comes with it, or how we do it.  Just. Win. The NBA Cup win seems like whiteboard material for them, yet a serving example for us to match up with them. Again, it doesn't matter. Both teams are completely different beasts since November, through growth and experience.  This all comes down to...

Sunday Sundown Rundown - 6/7/26

Artificial Intelligence in K-12 This week, I had the opportunity to talk to two dads who work in K-12 education. One is a teacher, and the other is a tech engineer who provides the digital infrastructure for a school district. What I came away with was that artificial intelligence was being slowly integrated into teachers' everyday lives, with some restrictions. However, the tech engineer gave me real insight (with real-time laptop evidence) of some of the tools being built to automate everything from bus schedules and communications to medical visits and disciplinary processes.  All of that to say, just when you think you understand the power of A.I., there are so many levels to it all .  So many... Sports Media Space With the recent run of my New York Knicks (you can see my comments after every game), what I have come to realize wholeheartedly, and also appreciate, is that so much of the sports media know very little about the topics they discuss daily.  No, really....
