    What’s the ANGLE with Marriage?

    By Emmanuel Williams When one marries, they find themselves committed to a family, one they married into mostly.

In the bottom of the well, at…

    MY DENVER BRONCOS

    By Emmanuel Williams I grew up next to the Mile High Stadium, as it was known in my 90’s youth. The earliest memory I have of my Denver Broncos is a close up shot of John Elway in dark navy blue jersey, pads, chin strap, and… the yellowest teeth I’ve ever seen on TV. I…

  • The Story So Far

    By Emmanuel Williams What they wanted from me was that I wasn’t blind. That I drove a fancy car so I could be reliable to them. Maybe they could arrive in style. Forget what it cost me. Forget all my other assets. Forget that I may have reason not to be who they needed me…

  • The Bigger Love Life Problem

    By Emmanuel Williams I don’t know. I can’t mention her name, but I’m pretty sure a crush has re-awoken. For me if not for her. I may have an upcoming shot to talk to her one on one and my mind is top-heavy on fantasies about us. The biggest problem is I think we’d be…

  • She Would Hold My Arm

    By Emmanuel Williams I met my son Johnny’s mother at the Center for Performing Arts Complex in Downtown Denver almost 10 years ago now. We weren’t attending any show. In fact, it was the middle of the morning and nothing was playing at that time of day. You see, we were two homeless nomads whose…
