Just thinking

  • Off track a bit today..

    My brother is off work today. When he’s off work, we tend to have this routine. Wake up – go to the gym – eat somewhere – and then catch Pokémon downtown. (  Yes, he plays to.   Actually, he got me to start playing.  I got Jason to start playing.   It’s like an infection.) For Read more

  • Little lost boy

    It’s been raining here. –  I mean, really raining.   Like three inches here and four inches in another county. It hasn’t gotten so bad that the highway has closed, but cars have made some nice water wings going through it. I like the rain.   I like the thunder. I don’t think people understand or respect Read more

  • I saw Hereditary yesterday. It was a 1:10 showing and about a handful of people where there.   One was a child – a girl I think – maybe 13ish.  She was sitting behind me and, as far as I know, watched the whole thing. This was my third movie I’ve treated myself to in the Read more

  • I’m on the fridge…

    In case you didn’t know or I haven’t mentioned it or whatever, I live on a dead end street.     There’s one way in.   There’s one way out.   They happen to be the same way over a railroad track. And, I just found out, it’s like this since 1918. Dern man, right? When I returned from Read more

  • It’s that wonderful time in the semester where the rough drafts are due. –  It is my job to tell a bunch of adults that their grammar is fairly sub-par in the worst cases and passible in the best. I’ve learned through experience and time, a lot of instructors don’t approach the grammar issue.  Maybe Read more

  • Calloused Hands

    I’ve been thinking about my dad a lot lately. Well, rather, I’ve been thinking about why I’ve been thinking about my dad. — I kind of blame Memorial Day. There’s just something about graveyards that reminds people of the dead.  Course, my dad was in the Army for a while too. I don’t think anyone Read more

  • bash, bash, bash

    Look, okay, I know that I have quite a few health problems. I’m really very aware of them, what’s going on, and what the future could hold. Heck, at this point, I probably could almost be a doctor. I’ve been poked and prodded in just about every imaginable way over the past two years.  I’m getting to Read more

  • Wedding Mint

    My sister is the bride’s maid for her best friend’s wedding this August. Today was our first outing looking for a dress at the local bridal shop. As soon as I walked in, this wedding dress, shining white with silk, lace, and bows, was waiting to greet me.  It was wrapped around an immaculate headless Read more

  • Yesterday, we had another school shooting. And yesterday, yet again, a lot of people blamed video games, guns, bullying, ect ect ect.   At this point, I really don’t think anything is really be done. Suggestions to stop or deter it has been teachers carrying guns, which I’m oddly for.  Having worked in a public school Read more

  • Random 001

    There’s a lot I want to write about, but I don’t feel like writing about anything. Does that make any since? But, if I’m ever going to squeak my books, I really should actually start writing – anything from the start.   It’s easy to say you’re a writer, but hard to be one. So.. um… Read more
