Tim Stevens is Un Gajje

It's not just a nickname, it's a way of life

Hello and welcome! So glad to have you joining us.

I am Tim Stevens, husband, father, booster of all things Newington, CT related etc etc. It seems unlikely you just found this site by accident so all that was probably review. Anyway, I freelance write for a variety of sites including, most prominently, Marvel.com (home of the House of Ideas) and New Paris Press (New England's online answer to the New Yorker). I also write for pure ha-ha's including the annual Tim Stevens's The January Project.

Oh, and then there's the whole almost a Doctor of Psychology thing (Psy D to be specific). 

I am available for further freelance work, birthday parties, and dangerous missions to save the planet. Happy to provide samples and recommendations related to all three.

This is my online home. Please enjoy.

January 13, 2018- Heat Dies Down

“Heat Dies Down” by Kaiser Chiefs from Yours Truly, Angry Mob

Listen to it here

Love is not fun.

I hate to bear the bad news, but
it’s just a fact, King Tut.

Love is not fun.

I wish it weren’t true, but
facts is facts, you silly nut.

Love is not fun.

It’s work for reals
and not just delightful feels.

Love is not fun.

Not all slo-mo romance highlight reels,
much as I wish that were the whole deals.

Love is not fun.

It grows and shrinks and twists with time
as unreliable as the joys of mime.

Love is not fun.

There is no way to make it all a good time
even if that does seem like a crime.

Love is not fun.

There is no end,
no time to take a break, heaven forfend.

Love is not fun.

Even when it reaches an end,
it leaves you so much a mess, I contend.

Love is not fun.

I promise you,
It is true.

Love is not fun.

That’s all I came to tell you
because I heard my cue.

Love is not fun.

That said, I still
have to recommend it and will.

Love is not fun.

I confess this, but still
I urge you to climb that hill.

Love is not fun.

Anyone that says
otherwise is no one’s baes

Love is not fun.

Listen to what the wise man says
and do it anyways.

Love is not fun.

But who gives a darn,
at the least you’ll get a ripping good yarn.

Love is not fun.

But who gives a darn,
don’t miss out on the best, ignore all I say to warn.

Love is not fun.

But that’s not
what it is all about, ask any tot.

Love is not fun.

But ask all that have tried, not just those that have tied the knot.
It’s worth the fun and lack thereof, it’s the best feeling we’ve got.
