  • 2018-01-13 About ‘August and Everything After’

    Last night on my way home from getting groceries one of my favorite Counting Crows songs came up in the shuffle. I could only listen for like a minute before I had to skip to the next song. It wasn’t because it reminds me of something unpleasant. It’s because when Adam sings live, and it…

  • 2017-12-28 You’re Just Not That Into Me

    I’ve been contemplating what to say to the guy I’ve been “dating” for five months now. I’ve been thinking about it for a few weeks. I even wrote a poem about it (don’t worry, I’ll keep that shit to myself). Severing ties, even the loose ones, can be tricky. I did it with Adam, but…

  • 2017-12-27 That’s So Meta

    While I was dating Matt, he never seemed that interested in my writing. When I met him I already had my first two blogs. One was the original WordPress site which is still active today and houses all my “public worthy” creative writing. The second was my somewhat hidden tumblr account which was intended for…

  • 2017-12-12 How Do They Do It?

    This past weekend I had an interview with the manager at my gym for a position as a front desk attendant. For those who don’t know, there’s typically a person who stands at the info desk near the entrance to the gym and is responsible for greeting people. The other job responsibilities include, as I…

  • 2017-12-10 The Curse of the Logical Mind

    There is no escaping reality. Believe me, I’ve tried. Well.. I’ve tried enough to feel really shitty for a couple of days after drinking too much. That’s where I was last year in the weeks leading up to and following Christmas. I hit rock bottom and did not want to live anymore. I was not…

  • 2017-12-10 Like Plants Vs. Zombies – It’s About Time

    A couple years ago Plants Vs. Zombies 2 came out and it was the long awaited, quite overdue sequel to the first game. That first game was something I had never played. The truth is, I don’t play many video games and am not really into that sort of thing. I have a long history…

  • 2017-11-25 Grateful for the Not So Great

    This past week was supposed to be all about being grateful, which I am. It was supposed to be about giving thanks and acknowledging those people and things in our lives we are fortunate enough to have. I feel like I do that all the time, in a way, so this week was nothing special.…

  • 2017-11-18 Twenty Five Years Ago

    I have this app on my phone that sends push notifications so I can be alerted when any of my fans are coming to town. It’s called “Bandsintown”. I gave it permission to scan through my the music library on my phone and then it sort of does the rest as far as alerting me…
