2022-10-28 One Day By Day

On October 21st, 2010.. twelve years ago I wrote my first post on my first blog. No surprise, it was a poem. It was titled Day By Day and it was about the act of starting each day by reflecting on the day before, and then “jumping in” again from there. It was a giant…

2022-10-27 The One About Blogging and Drama Over THIS Blog

So meta, I know. And also long…. I’m often slow to process things that happen in my life. I’m typically very methodical and intentional with my words and I care how what I say affects people and what the perception is about who I am. I’ve tried to say “efff that” to worrying about what…

2022-10-17 Much Ado in Mid October

It’s been a while again. I can’t say much has changed but let’s recap anyhow for the one or two random strangers who might be reading for the first time… My writing is in the dumpster. My self-worth hangs daily, by a thin, thin thread. I’m not excited about much and the act of doing…

2022-09-28 Destined to Fail… 🩸

I’m not worried about my health because I’m in great shape for my age. I’ll probably be saying that for the next 30 years. As I age, all the parts of my body that fail will likely be very appropriate for whatever age I might be when that happens. It’s been true for my eyes…

2022-09-15 Sometimes When It Rains, It Pours

Sometimes it’s all dried up, and there’s nothing to say. And sometimes, even though my creative writing is non-existent, the other words are just begging to come out. I guess you could call this post a continuation of the one I finished yesterday. When I was done writing, I believed I had said all I…

2022-09-14 The Daily Pep and Thoughts on Quitting

The Daily What? The Daily Pep. One of three podcasts I’ve recently taken to listening to on a regular basis. This holy trinity of podcasts includes “Chasing Life” which comes out once a week and is 10-60 minutes on a random topic like dreaming, playing in adulthood as you did as a child, and social…

2022-09-12 A Play-By-Play of My Own Personal Inferno

The days come and go. Things happen that feel *noteworthy* but I’m not taking notes. In my head, a dozen times, I’ve thought about posting those pictures I took at UNL last week. I got invited by my darling daughter to read poems in the sound booth for an assignment. I’d never been in a…
