    2020-06-10 Three Types of Death

    All those days I wasted lamentingAll the sunsets I missed with my eyes fixed on a screen.All those neurons bounced around aimed at connection in pursuit of answers.The real opportunities missed as the clock ticks down to zero. Or near zero. Did you know that when you are pronounced dead, there’s a timer somewhere in…

    2020-06-02 Introducing… The Good Life Review

    I’ve sent some of my darlings out into the universe and it’s so tough to let them go when you know life is tough and people are critical and maybe they (my babies) are not wanted or needed and their message will land in the hands of someone too busy with chaos or wrapped up…

    2020-06-01 What other choice do I have?

    A friend of mine texted me out of the blue to ask how I was doing. I said I’m OK, but that I think it’s “the end of days” going on right now. I’m not sure if this hellfire of strangeness is biblical, but it sure feels like it. It would be just like the…

    2020-05-28 Hide and Seek

    I start walking. I start writing. That’s my way. Lately I’ve felt like it’s all just the same shit on a different day. I’m inches away from getting my MFA in Poetry and I haven’t written anything worthy of a poem in months. A few times when I took a class with the “Todfather”, I…

    2020-05-25 The Sign on the Door Says “Beware of Dragons”…

    … but I open it anyway. I’m not even sure where to start today. Should I begin with the 5am wake up and subsequent spin-brain keeping me from going back to sleep? Perhaps I should start by reflecting on that conversation I had yesterday with my Texas Bestie where she said her new motto was…

    2020-05-21 Mother / Daughter Stuff

    I’ve got some venting to do but I can predict the future so I’m not going there today. If you live long enough, you too will be able to predict the future. The disclaimer on that is that it all comes from experience. Ride that record right round enough times and there’s no question what…

    2020-05-13 No Rest For the Wicked Part 336

    Why 336? Because it feels like It might just go on and on and on and one can’t escape being wicked if it’s a part of their nature. Riddle me this? Why do I have to spend 40 grand on a masters in fine arts which includes thousands (not exaggerating) of dollars for fees for…

    2020-05-12 No Rest for the Wicked Part 2

    Yesterday came and went and it was a freaking blur. The deadline at work was met and the team pulled it off. Alpha version 0.0.1 was demonstrated and released to the customer. If that name doesn’t scream “early, early release” then I don’t know what does. In the end, I was left to sweep up…
