This month, I participated in a long-standing Friday the 13th tradition that, somehow, I’d managed to avoid in all my years on this Earth — and no, it didn’t involve a machete-wielding maniac or a cabin in the woods. Usually, my way of honoring the sacred horror holiday involves what I like to call a
Tomorrow, I release a book. A poetry book. No one is more surprised than me. For most of my life, the idea of me publishing poetry was about as likely as the Sears Demon™ winning a Pulitzer. I sat through two semesters of poetry workshops in college, where the general consensus seemed to be: maybe
I have no words to truly describe the absolute wild ride that has been 2025 so far, so I’m not going to even bother. Instead I’m going to quietly accept that it is somehow already March and just move on. It is Sunday afternoon as I sit and write this. Sundays are typically my day
Someone offered me adderall the other day and I’m starting to think I should have taken it. For legal reasons… that was a joke? I’ve never actually taken adderall but I’ve been told many times that I should be on it. Oh, what would my life be like if I was properly medicated? It’s just

Whelp, if I wasn’t on JD Vance’s birthday invite list, I certainly won’t be now. It would seem that the Republican Nominee for Vice President takes issue with single cat owners. Specifically, single cat ladies, but that wasn’t very inclusive of him. For I am single. I have zero human children. And I’m a man.
I can say for certain that one of my many pet peeves is when someone tells me I have the same amount of hours as some celebrity. We’ve all heard it before, especially when it comes to creative pursuits and telling you that you can accomplish so much because we all have the same amount
If you’ve been following me for a while, you’ll know that for about ten years, I spent a great deal of time on the road as an educational consultant. It was a job that I deeply loved and had an absolute blast. It gave me a chance to spread a positive message and make a
Go into this post with an open mind- I’m sleep deprived and possibly going insane. It’s yet to be determined. So, when I was writing my last post about re-watching LOST, I said something that got my mind spinning. I talked about how much fun it was to decode different parts of the show and
