There might be a little bit of hyperbole in that title, but not much. I’ve been busier so far this year with creative/artsy stuff than I have been in my whole life up until now, and I have to say it’s been pretty cool. So get comfortable while I talk about myself and clumsily humblebragContinue reading “Hi, I’m a self-indulgent hypocrite”

A Somewhat Verbose Shout Out to My Fellow Dispatchers
I’ve always been hesitant to talk about my job on here. I work directly with law enforcement and people are extremely passionate about the issue on both sides. Discussing it (as with many other political or hot-button issues) doesn’t really interest me. I’d rather debate which was the best season of Buffy The Vampire SlayerContinue reading “A Somewhat Verbose Shout Out to My Fellow Dispatchers”
What is this? Is this a cusp?
I’m not a huge sports guy, but when I think about my 2015, the most fitting term I can think of to describe it is a sports metaphor: It was a rebuilding year. I know vague Facebook and blog posts are annoying, but I’m also somewhat guarded about my private life—I’ll go into a littleContinue reading “What is this? Is this a cusp?”
Demon House
A change in my schedule has landed me temporarily on the night shift and allowed me a relatively large amount of free time during the hours when most people are dead to the world. I’m trying to use that time to get back on the proverbial horse in regard to my writing (of which I’veContinue reading “Demon House”
Remembering Rolonda
Has this ever happened to you: you’re minding your own business, thinking about whatever perfectly normal thing is passing through your head, when next thing you know you’re thinking about someone or something you haven’t thought about in years? Without even realizing what took you there, you’ve somehow been transported to another place and/or timeContinue reading “Remembering Rolonda”
Halloween Horror Edition
October seemed to creep up on me somehow this year. Before I turned around the month was already almost half over and Halloween was in danger of passing me by. I rarely squander the chance to celebrate the season, so I decided to binge on some horror movies and thrillers on Netflix over the pastContinue reading “Halloween Horror Edition”
Loneliness vs Being Alone
Last night I did something I’d always wanted to do, but had never gotten the chance: I went out to the middle of nowhere (sort of) and watched the Perseid meteor shower. I say sort of because the spot I went wasn’t exactly top secret and quite a few people turned out to see theContinue reading “Loneliness vs Being Alone”
The Unbridled Joy of Flipping Off Friends
My workplace is…lenient, shall we say, in regard to language and conduct. Not to say we’re not professional–neigh, we do our jobs and do them well. Dare I say we’re a group of ass kickers who not only perform but thrive under pressure. Perhaps as a bit of a way to blow off steam, ourContinue reading “The Unbridled Joy of Flipping Off Friends”
A Strange Milestone
I had a realization the other day that made me stop and think: it dawned on me that I’m the same age now that my mom was when she passed away. It’s not anything I was keeping track of—I wasn’t marking off the days on a calendar or anything. I’m not even sure how IContinue reading “A Strange Milestone”
Wonderbook: Worth its Weight in Gold
We all had the “cool” teacher in school—do you remember yours? Mine was Coach Mahr (I think that’s how he spelled it). He taught anatomy and physiology, and was also the track/cross country coach at our high school. He was younger than a lot of the other teachers (probably mid-thirties), and could often be seenContinue reading “Wonderbook: Worth its Weight in Gold”
