October 15th, 2019 Gossip is awful. I am also terribly guilty of it. I would never assume you are or have been, too, because that would be gossiping and I am no fool to these self-imposed tricks. One of the best tools I’ve learned in battling the deeply natural act of talking shit about oneContinue reading “Gossip, Girl”

No Joke
October 9th, 2019 Two guys walk out of a bar. It doesn’t really matter why they walked out. And this isn’t the start of a joke. No, this is something entirely different. So, two men tried leaving the restaurant tonight. The reasons themselves don’t matter and don’t even appear clear to me; but they areContinue reading “No Joke”
Great Power
October 3rd, 2019 Will Smith and I are on the same wavelength. I had been thinking about writing a post about the difference between fault and responsibility lately, and then I saw a video of his yesterday in which he perfectly describes what I was going to say. That smug ass. To sum it up:Continue reading “Great Power”
Fall, With You I Fall So Fast
September 27th, 2019 My brain is probably backwards, but I’ve always felt like fall is a beginning. I think most people assign spring as the season of something new. But for me, the heat death of summer has always signified endings. The end of friendships. The end of romances. The end of freedom. Because whereContinue reading “Fall, With You I Fall So Fast”
Believe
September 24th, 2019 Whenever you make a decision, you have to balance logic and intuition. I mean, you don’t have to. But, usually, when you don’t is when you make a bad decision. Sometimes you look at all the facts and they add up, but something doesn’t feel right. And sometimes what you want toContinue reading “Believe”
Be Stupid
September 22nd, 2019 This post is just for me. I’m putting it here in case I ever forget and I need to find it. Everyone has their ineffable qualities that make them who they are. Everybody knows somebody who, when you’re asked why you like them, you sigh and say, “I don’t know. There’s justContinue reading “Be Stupid”
Do You Believe In Magic?
September 17th, 2019 People are fucking magic. It feels weird to feel compelled to make a post about this, but it so often seems like we live in a world where all we do is complain about each other. Our friends, our families, our co-workers, people we’ve never even met. If you talk to someoneContinue reading “Do You Believe In Magic?”
Don’t Let Them Take Your Light
August 24th, 2019 Don’t let them take your light. Two weekends ago, I was at a convention and met a lot of awesome people. I met a couple who were incredibly nice and they were really interested in what I do. One of them gave me a call a week ago and was very complimentary.Continue reading “Don’t Let Them Take Your Light”
Extremes
August 20th, 2019 I am a person born of extremes. For most of my life, I was always the best, or I was the worst. The smartest person in the room, or so dumb I could feel everybody staring. The top of the heap, or the bottom of a garbage fire. I was perpetually hotterContinue reading “Extremes”
The New Normal
June 28th, 2019 What is normal? I think a better question is: what is normalized, and what should or shouldn’t be? Without even realizing it, a lot of us normalize behaviors in how we interact with people and how we present ourselves online. I was talking to a friend yesterday, and it made me thinkContinue reading “The New Normal”
