Break free from the norm to lead a radically abnormal (and endlessly more fulfilling) life. In our over busy, unprincipled, oversexed world; lust, debt, guilt, and shame are far more common than a healthy relationship to time, money, and relationships. Simply put, normal isn't working...

Oregon isn’t tidy. It’s moody, messy, and gloriously contradictory. This is the state that bans Styrofoam but worships chainsaws, that rails against Californians while happily selling them real estate, and that brags about recycling while secretly hoarding sticky six-packs in the garage.

Steve Capone, Jr. shares three of his previously unpublished works from the last half decade or so. They are a bit odd. Wonder what it might have been like to see Jesus push a kid off a roof?

Three shorts answer these questions, at least in the mind of their author.
