Slowing Down on the Coffee
It was this past Saturday; my wife and I finally had a weekend to ourselves, and so we took that day to clean our apartment. After her brother spent a couple of weeks here until he settled into college, we didn’t have the time to give the place a good scrubbing. The first thing I… Continue reading

A Habit of Changing Things Up
A tidbit about myself is that I like to change things up in my life. Whether big or small, I want to switch up a routine that I have been following and try something new. It keeps it exciting for however long it may be, and I fight off the boredom I would be dealing… Continue reading

Trying out Substack
I decided to create an account on Substack and will focus my fictional writing there from now on. You can follow me here! There’s no specific reason for creating a Substack.

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

And My Holiday Break…BEGINS!
4:00 PM strikes today, and I’m driving home from work in my car. Usually, my commute doesn’t bother me; it’s an hour one way since I only go to the office once a week. But even with traffic being rough and it raining the whole time, I wouldn’t have to make this commute for another… Continue reading

A Song That Brought Nostalgia and Shame at the Same Time
Just about everyone has a specific song that when they hear it, they teleport back however many years, back to that memory they tie it to. Whether it takes you to a summer night at the beach, spending time with friends or family, or, hell — even that one night you never forgot. There’s that… Continue reading
