Bit of a rant today, so apologies in advance here. This kind of shit is going into my scene writing for my novel, so, if anything, it makes for good material I suppose. Anyway, something that my aunt and I were talking about just the other day reminded me of a posting a friend of … Continue reading

2017 Resolutions I May Very Well Keep
I don’t do resolutions. Wait, I take that back. I don’t “keep” resolutions. They’re all a bunch of the same ol’ same ol’ anyway, so much so they’re virtually cliche now. You know, ones like “I’m going to get healthy and lose 30 pounds!” (Good luck keeping it off because good food is food that … Continue reading
Too Much Too Soon
This time of year means stress upon stress. This time of year can take it the hell back. So many things happening all around that I can’t concentrate, can’t think about what comes next or how to get through it. My grandfather always said that things can only get better after they hit the breaking point (how … Continue reading
They’re still around.
A few weeks ago, my guy was more than a little creeped out by something in my house. Whenever he’s over, he’s up all night long due to his night shift schedule. While up, he’s often working on whatever game project he’s been contracted to do (he writes D&D supplements as a side job). Then … Continue reading
Yearly Recap of Work’s Best Of the Worst.
So I’ve amassed the handful of postings I’ve left from all of the lunacy that is my job. Since the school year is coming to a screeching halt (bang-not-a-whimper, in other words), and I’ve had little time to really blog (is that a verb?) over the past month or so, I figured I’d simply share … Continue reading
Ulcerous
Socrates hit it with his “Envy is the ulcer of the soul.” Oh, ENVY, that green-eyed dickster, keeps popping up like a horrid party guest during times when I really don’t feel it, don’t want it, don’t need it around. I’ve a friend who always reminds me that for every person you’re envious of, there are … Continue reading
“Neglects…I’ve had a few…”
(Wait. Is that how the song goes?) I’ve neglected this blog, the antho (off and on), writing, and other things for the past couple of weeks. Work. Busy. Timing. That stuff. Not as many students this term thanks to a schedule that mainly consists of 12 week classes and two of them in the afternoon … Continue reading
Varnishing
Sometimes, there are those people who just need an extra eye. They may need a serious “varnishing.” In other words, everything they’ve got on, everything they’ve done to themselves, well, it’s just…wrong, so they’re desperately in need of an opinion and some shine (although they may not realize, let alone appreciate, any of it). Listen, … Continue reading
2016 Resolution: Don’t Be a Dick.
Okay, I think I’ve finally made a decision. My 2016 resolution, such as it is, is not to be a dick. Well, I will do my best at any rate. I will attempt to be “dickish” only in my thoughts and not aloud… unless certain troubles start, troubles caused by genuine dicks, the ones like… The … Continue reading
The Comedian and the Psychopath, a Love Story
Got something playing so heavily in my mind, going around in loop-dee-loops right now, and it’s not anything having to do with me whatsoever. It’s gossip, pure and simple. Well, not so pure and maybe not entirely all that simple. Before I even touch upon what has nothing to do with me and made purely on assumptions, … Continue reading
