This week it’s all about jpegs.
Jpeg Mania, if you will.
Welcome to another Malarky Monday where we all get a chance to tickle your funny bone
and expand your views of the wonders of the internet.
For me, it’s about pictures this week.
The opposite of fast food:
A sad and horrible truth:
The truth about abduction:
A truth you never want [...]
I wish I was being funny.
I’m in a nasty mood tonight, sorry.
Thomas Jefferson said it best when he said,
“A government BIG enough to give you everything you want, is STRONG enough to take everything you have.”
Fuck the government and all their high paying ‘no-show’ jobs, bullshit posts and meaningless rhetoric.
I have had it.
There is a [...]
I was given this award a few months ago by Annie, a writer I truly admire (and a dear friend).
She gave me the award saying this; “Michael at Smoke & Mirrors because his landscape is beautiful and touching, albeit often sad, and so very real that his words can touch as no others can.”

invisible . . .
Feels like invisible
not wanting the outside in, the vast shores [...]
These are supposedly comments written on report cards by teachers from a public school in New York City.
While I can’t actually believe they are true, they are incredibly funny.
Received these through an email from my buddy Henry.
He never bothers to check the authenticity, probably why most of his emails are so damn funny.
I have a [...]
She withers
head bent, possibly in prayer
longing for an oasis, a distant mirage in her thirsty mind
She cries
and tears fall, like raindrops,
disappearing into an arid, chocolate-coloured soil
She sleeps
while impossible clouds form, from some silent and sacred place
drenching the parched earth with a hope
the Sun shines
and the water of life seeps into her dreams
filling the soul with [...]
Is it possible that angels walk among us?
I’ve never given serious thought to that question before but I’m beginning to think that the possibility actually exists.
I believe I may have one.
I’m mentioning names here or whether it’s a man or a woman.
It doesn’t really matter, does it?
I will clarify one issue by saying that if [...]
