2025-06-02 Live and Let Go
I’ve started a few new pieces of writing in the last month and haven’t finished a single one. Well, at least not to the point of posting or sharing with anyone. My mood on a daily basis has been unpredictable, and I’m in the upside down. What should bring me me joy does not, yet…

2024-10-29 Still Kicking It (The Can, Down the Road)
September came and went. October too, it seems. How easily time slips away when… whenever, however, whatever always happens. It’s been a few months since I rubbed a couple sticks together and made a spark of a sentence. There are a few forces behind my hiatus from writing. The first of which is a fall…

2024-08-16 A Fresh Take on Over Half Over
August is officially over half over. The year is over half over. My life is over half over. Oh no?! Another melancholy post about existential dread and crooning over what the purpose of life is and what it all means??!! No. Nope. Not today. A few weeks ago (or maybe it was just last week)…

2024-05-07 Cold Turkey Coming Right Up
Ok. Sometimes you just kinda gotta open up the shuffle to ALL the music in the music library. Maybe for you that’s the entirety of what Spotify, Amazon Music or Pandora have to offer. But just like opening Pandora’s box, you don’t know what will be released and the results can be wild and most…

Hi! Thanks for being here! Today’s Q&A is all about self discovery. Maybe you figured out what you wanted to do with your life at age 4 and have been enjoying the ride ever since. If that’s you, this post might not be helpful. For the other 8 billion of us, it might be worth…

2024-04-19 Always halfway there…
Today’s Q&A is about pressure. As in… why I’m putting so much pressure on myself. And like most questions, it’s tightly wound with other questions, primary in this case is “Who cares?” If I never write or publish another poem in my life… who cares? If I don’t blog anymore… who cares? If I quit…
