Dirty Stupid Wisdom with Ben Keaton
I know a lot of things.
Correction. I have a lot of experience.
Moments of brilliance, tragedy, joy, success and poor decisions. A slop bucket of life.
These essays are an effort to make sense of that. It's supposed to make sense isn't it? We wouldn't be the only known living beings in the star system for no reason, that would be ridiculous.
I like simple things. And I like the pain we suffer. It cuts through the noise. And I like my confusion funny. Dirty Stupid Wisdom is my collection of funny, ridiculous, painful moments that suggest clarity and insight. They won't cure you but they might sustain you for a short while.

Popeye, the spinach eating cartoon sailor of the 1930s and 40s said it best.

Identity emerges.
Some know day one and can’t wait to get going.
This is one of those days.
THIS IS A TRUE STORY INKED ON SKIN AND MEMORY.
