Passive aggression Makes the worst kind of driver. Just live and let live. Inane conversation: So much worse than silence is. Please get to the point.

Today marks the 1-year anniversary of my moving out to the property and living in a camper. I have to admit, I never in my wildest dreams thought I’d be 31 and living in a camper. My family was solidly middle-class, and we lived in nice houses custom-designed by my parents. Moving out on my…

Good karaoke: Oxymoronic saying, But it could exist. My ears are bleeding. The karaoke is bad: Loud and out of tune. The best we can do? I really, really hope not. Courage, but still bad.

O rare ribeye steak: Flavorful essence of cow, Just a little blood. Beef is the best food, And the best of beef is steak, And the best steak moos. Today I ate steak, Made just the way I like it: Flavorful and red.

There’s a coffee mug somewhere that says something to the effect of, “your lack of planning is not my emergency,” or something like that. I’ve recently had occasion to question whether anything at my company is actually an emergency. According to Google, an emergency is defined as: a serious, unexpected, and often dangerous situation requiring immediate…

So I know it’s been a while since I’ve written. Oh, I posted a story today; it’s been a while since I did that, too. It’s technically stand-alone, but I’m thinking of tying it in with Shane and Colton. Could make for a very interesting case. Anyway, I’ve been a slacker this week, I know. Been tired…

Periodically I find myself frustrated, not with anything in particular, but at my inability to understand why I’m frustrated. It is, of course, self-perpetuating. It hit me earlier today. I’d watched the first episode of Westworld (highly recommended; it’s fascinating!) and was contemplating whether to watch the second episode when it struck. The frustration is…

An open letter To those who poke down the road: Kindly pull over. Thou of little haste, I’m glad you have time to poke. Sadly, I do not.

Beer makes life better Sudsy golden draught right there, Relaxing my mind. O sweet alcohol, Put my weary mind at ease; Help me sleep tonight. Hanging at the bar, Chatting with the bartender, And drinking my beer.

Sweet sleep: let it come Resting blissful in my bed I wish for wet dreams. People are fickle. And I, too, am much the same. I cannot blame them. Furries are so cute. Innocent, cute, and carefree. I wish it was real. O black foot-warmers, Why must you bunch in my boots? Time for new,…

And thus the love ends. So sweet, so tender its youth. Snuffed out, still a child. I want to feel love, Set my world aside for him, But he exists not. Melancholy me: This is not my normal self. But tomorrow, sun. Haikus are succinct, Piercing, insightful, and short; They open my mind. See? My…

For many years now, I’ve held the firm belief that the two most important things for any relationship are honesty and communication. Without honesty, communication is worthless, and communication is how you work through relational issues. And I’m not limiting “relationship” to the love of a person and his/her spouse/boyfriend/girlfriend. It applies to all relationships, no…

I occasionally have mental arguments with myself. Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose. I know, I know, how can you lose an argument with yourself? What I mean is, I usually take a stance and then play devil’s advocate. If I convince myself from my initial stance, then I’ve lost the argument—but I’ve ended up wiser…

Well, I’ve got the Shane and Colton short story (maybe one of several over the next while) finished, and I’m about to publish it. I want to say before I do, though, that while I do some editing as I go, I have not gone through and re-read the story for consistency, grammar, etc. There may…

Whew, what a day! After a couple of hours of karaoke last night, I suddenly realized I was wiped out and decided to call it an early night. By early, I mean 23:00. As I was dozing off last night, I promised myself I wouldn’t get up at 7 this morning and even turned off…

Whoo, boy, it’s been a busy day. Stayed out late last night at the local bar chatting with some nice local folks and drinking entirely too much. Sure was fun, though! Alarm went off at 7:00, and I forgot that this is Saturday, so my back-up alarms don’t go off. Woke up at 8:00 thinking, aww,…

Today’s haiku sucks. Kirby, Hoover, and Rainbow: They are all vacuums.

I think they define “addiction” as something that you’re so obsessed with that it begins to negatively impact your life in one or more ways. I gotta admit, writing this blog is definitely causing me to sleep less. I could go to bed right now, but then when would I write? Said the addict. Oh, well.…
