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…
I was watching this movie with Jake Gylenhall called The Guilty and a character in the movie said this quote, “broken people save broken people.” It’s so fucking true that…
(This Post Brought to You by the Letter B) Crazy thought right? How in the world could trauma be good? Who would ever think that? I do. I was…
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…
If you’re currently in the midst of dealing with the pain of being wronged by someone, this phrase might come to mind. Maybe a friend stood you up, your boss…
I was angry today, Monday. Kinda woke up in a bad mood for no particular reason. Things in life have been going okay lately I guess but for whatever reason…
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.
