Today is 24 years since 9/11. 24 fucking years. No one I saw today even mentioned it. Nothing against them, I didn't mention it either. Over the many years, this…
Take a trip back with me to 9th grade English. I know right, nobody wants to go there. I remember being assigned an essay where I had to cite examples…
I was watching this show the other day where a man was in a military rehab center recovering from a stroke. And as no show is complete without the obligatory…
So I was watching the Travel Channel last night and there was this show on called American Mysteries (I know, nerd alert). The show was about multiple airline crashes of…
Death sounds terrible doesn’t it? Just the word itself sounds so harsh, so low-base, like the deepest-voiced opera singer (apparently called an Oktavist - who knew?). Hey, you and I…
Driving home from work tonight I heard on the radio that Matthew Perry died. For those who live under a rock or who are under the age of 30, he…

You know the emoji you use when your mind is blown? 🤯 Yeah, that one. One day I said to someone that this emoji looks like a plate fell on…
Not sure what to write about. Hopeless Tomatoes has risen to one of my all time favorite things I’ve ever written so kinda hard to top that.
I could write about the Ester Hicks quotes I’ve been reading lately about vibrations and energy. Yeah, deep, existential shit but I’m deep and existential I guess. I had a good conversation with a co-worker about that kinda stuff on Sunday. I have nothing else at the moment so maybe I should expand on that.
So I went to a funeral yesterday for the mother of a dear friend of mine. I saw a lot of shit that I feel I need to get off…
