2023-06-14 Winning the Crown of the Saltiest Kingdom of All

It’s finally here, friends… the update on the great poetry debate of 2023. The last time I checked in about my new approach to the world, you know, as it relates to my personal pursuit of self-promotion and publishing, I was taking my E.T. And retreating back into the safety and comfort of my closet.…

2023-05-15 The Mystery of Finding Treasure

We’re halfway through the month of May and for some measure of money and faith, I can offer an update that I’m still on the right track. Saying “no” agrees with me and I’m getting better at it. I’ve effectively said no to one professional public appearance and also backed out of a personal commitment…

2023-04-30 Cycles of Melancholy and Madness

For months I’ve been trying to puzzle out my problem (ok, ok, years or probably my whole damn life)… but for arguments sake let’s just call it months because that’s how long I’ve been experiencing a growing concern about how I feel on a daily basis. This nagging angst coupled with a deep desire to…

2023-04-11 There’s No Way Like the Just Say “No” Way…

My current declaration is that I am backing off from making new commitments and revoking goals that have previously been set.

I did a thing yesterday and didn’t die from it and my reward was to wake up and spend another day marveling at the mysteries of…

2023-03-23 Mid-March Woes

I’m all out of shows I’ve got interest in watching and no desire to crack open a podcast or audio book so I guess to pass the time l’ll try and get some words out. I apologize in advance for any unorganized chaos or ranting. If it’s in my brain, it’s about to come out…. …

2023-03-15 Averting My Eyes on the Ides

What a strange day. I remembered the Ides were coming up a few days ago and then forgot again. Then all day today I had this strange feeling something was off. Might have been that 4AM wake up. Might have been the feeling of being too tired coupled with an unusually productive morning. Might be…

2023-03-08 My Mind is Made Up…

Last week I did something I haven’t done in years. I wrote something that I decided from the start would never see the light of any day. Just me, my thoughts, and my fingers tippity-typing on the keyboard to get it all out. From one angle it was an experiment to see if I still…
