    Recently, I’ve been fairly obsessed with finding expired food. I’ve started to go through Mom’s fridge and the one at the house. Today, I crawled through part of the kitchen cabinets. So far, my victims have included:– Peppermint flakes, that expired in 2017– Rice cakes – 2023– Mustard – 2016– Chicken salad – 2023– Wings Read more

    From the local paper  –  Dated July 18, 2020. Stick with me here. I’m looking at word choice, not content. INDIANAPOLIS Two men were charged Friday in an assault on a Black man during which someone threatened to ‘get a noose’ after claiming… . In a typical newspaper style, the sentence is like two paragraphs Read more

    Just thinking here. Bare with me. I’m definitely not a history buff, although I feel like I really should become one.    I need to stop watching crime documentaries and turn to war ones instead. Anyway,  civil wars are generally started by differences in religious beliefs and ideology.   From my quick skimming, the majority Read more

    It’s been kind of a lonely holiday. It’s just me, chilling, all by myself.   Which isn’t bad.  My alone time allows me to self-repair and I got a lot of stuff to fix.  This is good. Didn’t go to the gym today.    Rather, I walked 145% of my Samsung step count downtown.  I’m Read more

    I guess I’m melancholy today. The day itself isn’t bad.   I got to hang out with baby brother, had pizza, and a couple of breadsticks.     Class hasn’t begun as of yet.    This is like a super relaxing time. It’s a little difficult to get motivated when it’s 90 plus outside.  =) Read more

    I shoulda went to the gym today and then did some running, but I didn’t do that.   Instead, I spent two hours at the park making myself feel really silly. You see, I spent a silly amount of energy on Wizards United trying to get a fracking owl lecturn to prepare for this weekend’s Read more

    There’s going to be a rally in Tulsa Oklahoma in about from now. I think this is really going to be a make or break thing on the Covid front. There’s supposed to be something like 19,000 people for an inside rally.   There’s another one that’s supposed to happen outside. So, in two weeks, Read more

    A long long long time ago, I came across this Chinese curse: May you live in interesting times from the introduction of a Terry Pratchett book.  I forget which one.    I think it was one of the novels about the indestructible Sam Vimes.  But, I could be wrong.   It’s been years and I had Read more

    I tend to write more when I’m in Indiana. I think that’s because some of my worries are poof. I’m not worried about the water bill or the electric bill.   I feel comfortable getting something to eat.  The family doesn’t get on me too much about it and I know enough to stay away from Read more

    Here I sit. I have a blood draw at one and it’s eleven. There’s nothing to do in class.  Well, there’s always something, but I’m not doing it right now. The house is quiet save for the clanking in the dryer. I’m actually kind of nervous about the blood draw. Okay.   I famously hate needles, Read more
