Hello World!
Good evening everyone! As a long time fan of April Fool’s Day, and in honor of Rooster Teeth, I thought I’d celebrate by taking my site live on April 1st. When I was a kid, I used to write stories and fantasize that the world around me was filled with hidden wonders. At some point,…

Adjusting Plans to Meet Goals
We are approaching the month of September. I took a couple of extra days off for Labor Day in hopes that I could travel to Canada. However, I recently paid more than $700 when my A/C crapped out on me just this last month. Plus, I’ve paid an uncomfortable amount of money for some Continuing…

Investing in Success has a Price
Have you ever invested cash in a hobby or project because you hoped you’d be compelled to justify the cost, only to abandon the hobby before ever getting started? This has happened to me a few times. In fact, I’d previously bought a drawing pad that needs to connect to the laptop via Bluetooth, but…

Starting Over
I’ve started a drawing class to get myself into the mindset of a webcomic artist. seriously. I actually do want to explore a new hobby, and drawing has become one of those hobbies that I’m curious about starting. This is a relatively new interest, mind you: I used to be impressed with the dedication and…

Dance to the Revolution
I miss Dance Dance Revolution. I don’t know why: I have most of the PS2 games in my collection and two fully-functioning DDR pads. Probably because no one wants to play with me. Something to do with us getting older and not being able to move as well as we used to. Meh. I think…

Time and Energy
When I was younger, I often played video games to 100% completion. It became an obsession: the more complex the game, the more fun it was to find every hidden nook and collect every major item. Nowadays, even when I want to complete a game 100%, I lose patience for it. Only a handful of…

The Big 250
I’ve always been the skinny one in my family. I was gangly and tall, and people often had trouble guessing my weight, even when I got heavier. Last week, however, I finally got onto the scale to see the damage from taking time off of my workouts and indulging in sodas and fast food. I…

A Journey to Reading
One of my all-time favorite pastimes was reading. I still enjoy it immensely, but it seems so much easier to turn on the TV or start doomscrolling through my phone’s social media apps than to sit down and crack open a book. For that reason, I promised myself I would read 12 books this year.…

Happy Independence Day!
Happy 30th anniversary of Independence Day, everyone! As we all know, Independence Day is a movie that officially released in theaters on July 3rd, 1996. It was so popular and well received that July 4th, the date that humans collectively fought off an extraterrestrial attack on the earth as one united planet, was forever memorialized…

Choosing to Learn is a Challenge Worth Facing
Happy (or at least good to see you on this) Monday, everyone! I want to apologize for the delayed release. I kept pushing off getting this one done and now the weekend is nearly at a close. I’ve been getting carried away with resting, and it has started to slow me down. Learning is my…

Changing Goals
One of my all-time favorite things to do is change goals. Did I say favorite? I meant frustrating. There’s so much to life that it feels like an insult not to want to do everything. The downside? It usually leaves me unable to do much of anything. And then I get frustrated, and either forget…
The Absentminded Novelist
Writing a new book one distraction at a time.
