4th of July Fun
Today, my friend and I went to a fair for the 4th of July. At first I didn't think we'd have much fun, mostly because we went so early.

Yoshi Used to Freak Me Out
That's a killer's glare It’s a short one today, but a super, super serious one I used to be deathly afraid of Yoshi from Mario. Yes, I’m not afraid to say it. I believe it was when I was 7 or 6. I had an awful nightmare about him that I just couldn’t forget. It … Continue reading Yoshi Used to Freak Me Out

It's just a giant sushi but with worse quality The other day, my pal and I made grilled tacos but with Viet-style marinated flank steak. Now, I know what you’re thinking. That sounds weird.

Alcoholism: Ending my Relationship with Booze
Well, I’m writing this after a night with half a bottle of brandy. It’s empty now. If I’m going to be honest, I’m really queasy. My stomach isn’t agreeing with me. My head is floating in the clouds. I woke up at 7AM, a surprise to a night owl like myself. I’ve got tunes in … Continue reading Alcoholism: Ending my Relationship with Booze
Headspace Chapter 3-Wednesday
Are we out of lightbulbs again? Man, I hate playing in this half-bright, half-dark crap. Why do we have to have the blinds down? It’s so dim in here. Oh man…. he looks upset again. I wonder if I did something wrong. “You’re late.” “Yes Dad, sorry Dad.” Okay, so I did do something wrong. … Continue reading Headspace Chapter 3-Wednesday

Powerful
A mirror reflects a scrawny, worn man. The bags beneath His eyes are nailed deep below His bones, gray and tissue meshed into his pale complexion. Flickering lights coupled with fungi encroaching His walls. His sink spills rust. He has aged decades within months. He is alone. He is now alone. Yet He grins. For … Continue reading Powerful
