Long Drives and Reflections
As I wait for my wife’s pancakes to flip, I thought it would be as good as any time to get my next post up here. I have a weekly routine of making her pancakes for the workweek so she’s not missing out on breakfast. While I’m on just a few hours of sleep, drinking Continue reading

I Want to Make 2025 A Big Year for Reading and Writing
Last year, I focused more on writing but not too much on the reading end. I was in a rut with reading. I completed my minimum goal of reading five books last year, but getting through them was hard. A few of them I enjoyed reading, but others were a struggle to finish, and when Continue reading

When Starting Off, Remember to Do It for Yourself or Others Involved
I was scrolling through my TikTok feed when I came across one where this guy sitting in his car tells us (the viewers) that our Dungeons & Dragons show will fail and no one will watch it. He then tells us to “just stop” making these shows; no matter how quippy the title can be, Continue reading

Back to Work After a Nice, Long Break
Well, it’s the day my two-week-long holiday break comes to an end, and I’m sitting at my home office, wishing I was back on break again. I’m counting down the days until the next time my scheduled days off would come, but it’s back to work for now. Even if I were working my dream Continue reading

While shes’ proud of me for putting myself out there, I’m over here scared about showing people Continue reading

Probably Work
What have I complained about recently? Amazon Prime is now charging a fee to remove ads on their video streaming platform, but that’s not what I complain about the most. That goes to work and the headaches it comes with when you’re there for years. From the frustrating tasks, coworkers that can get under your skin, Continue reading

Sports I Watch and Play
When I was younger, I never cared to watch any professional sports on TV. I was more of the kid you found outside playing in an organized league or with some friends somewhere. Now that I’m older and don’t play anymore — I watch it on TV whenever I get the chance that is. Below Continue reading

A Lot Would Do
If we’re not talking about Shirley Jackson’s short story, The Lottery, then… A small amount of that prize money would go to paying off all the debt I and my family owe. Still a lot of money towards debt, but nothing compared to the prize money we’d win. Then would be to buy a house Continue reading

More Nonfiction Books
There are twenty books or more on my shelf now that I want to read, not including the two hundred or more e-books I have on my Kindle. But out of the collection, maybe five percent of them are nonfiction. So, I’d like to change that! I have read a few memoirs, informational pieces, and Continue reading
