    My brother and I where innocently wasting time downtown. We were chasing the new spawns from Wizard Unite and working on our tasks.   We weren’t bothering anyone and just chatting amongst ourselves while looking for memos and monster books. We passed a corner that’s by Laurel’s when this pretty girl approached my baby brother.  She Read more

  • 8/11

    There’s a lot of stuff I’ve wanted to write about. A lot of things have happened, but I just haven’t had a chance to breathe for the past couple of weeks. First, it was Gencon with the little sis for four or five days.   Then it was the little brother for four days.  Jason was Read more

    The headache is back. It’s resumed it’s roll of torment right behind my left eye.   The shoulder is tightening up.   Feeling a little nauseous too.  Not sure what’s wrong. I haven’t checked the weather outlook lately, but maybe there’s another Barry brewing somewhere.      This sucks. It’s kind of like being sick and being Read more

  • 7/11

    Today should be a special day for 7/11 employees everywhere. It fits.   Free slushies for everyone! Yesterday was Chick-fil-a’s Cow Appreciation Day.  Since any corporation or organization can declare (or own) a specific day or an entire month, 7/11 should be able to do so to… if they haven’t already had. Another day of self Read more

    I got a wild hair up my butt today and called a plumber. Floridians tend to have this unique way of setting up their washer and dryer – in the garage… which is really weird for anyone up north. Anyway, for some time now when the washer drains, the water backs up into the utility Read more

    I made yesterday harder for me than I needed to. First, I’ve been really good about skipping my Prozac for the past couple of days.   The last time I did that was a couple of years ago when I had a not-so-friendly panic attack.   I felt shamed because of the distress that I underwent and Read more

  • Social media and socialism

    For some reason, I get the feeling that people may not, generally, understand what socialism means. We’ve lived in a capitalistic democracy since America was conceived.    We’re bombarded with socialism tendencies, favoritism, and fears so much that we truly can’t get an idea of what it means to be a socialist.  I imagine it’s Read more

  • Hero Journey (Jason)

    I don’t believe in a lot, but I believe that we’re protagonists in our own story… sometimes.  I guess it depends on what day it is.   But, over that, I believe in patterns.    Patterns of behavior.   Patterns of history.  Patterns of society. So, while we’re protagonists, there’s a pattern that we follow.    Sometimes, Read more

  • Queen identification (Snow White)

    I’ve indulged in the time-wasting click bait of what type of animal, princess, or Happy Days character am I.   Okay, so maybe not the Happy Days one, but you get the idea. These things don’t really mean anything and it’s painfully obvious that the questions are uninspired.  The outcome could be whatever you want. Well, Read more

    Okay. This week… Today, I took the truck to Seymour for an airbag repair recall.   The truck is some 8 years old and there’s still recalls on it?   Damn. Tomorrow, Tuesday – Day with the little brother.   That probably means the gym and seeing Detective Pickachu. Wednesday is all about the little sister. Hoping for Read more
