  • Random Calendar Info #50

    ,

    If you are seasick, go to the center of the ship and as close to the water line. Focus on a non-moving object in the distance and toward the front of the ship. If you are nauseous, drinking ginger might help if you don’t have pills. Drink water if you vomit. If you get stung…

    If you are trapped in a walk-in freezer, knock several times on the door to get someone’s attention. See if you can use the emergency release on the interior and turn off the cooling system. If no one shows up, lie down on cardboard and cover yourself with anything you can except frozen food. If…

  • Old (June) Quotes

    I cleaned up my FB page. I removed quite a bit of stuff. Old pictures. Old things. Old videos. Old everything because I’m sort of starting fresh again. I started a new journal and using one of my older ones for creative ideas instead of keeping track of my calories. I’m using an app for…

  • Flash Fiction: Beyond Teenage Angst

    ,

    How funny I wrote this a while back. It was in 2021. I was going to include it into a short story or novella of some kind. I guess for now it will hang out as flash fiction. Enjoy. This whole thing started with the never-ending mint in his mouth and the theme song to…

  • Poem: Too Many Lines

    Give a man a knife. He’ll find a way to cut himself. The marks too big. The choices far away. Fake smiles adorn the faces. They retain their youthful chins. Spit out useless information. Give a woman an inch. She’ll turn it into a mile. The means of something. All the lovely plans. Great money…

  • Short Story (sort of): Chapter Two of My Second Novel

    ,

    I’ve been slowly getting back to writing and rewriting my second novel idea. I’m finding the joy again in the process of writing and seeing what happens when you sit down to write. I’ve been lazy and haven’t cleaned off my desk. Instead, I’ve been organizing my photos among other things. Therefore, I’ve been writing…

  • Poem: Writer’s Dilemma

    It’s lonely. Any place down there in the dungeon. Alone. It’s never up there. There’s no sky or mountains, not the wind or clouds. You’ve typed a word. The only word. Your mind moving. It’s faster. Looking ahead but not fast enough. Thoughts. The story has already been written once.

  • Poem: Replica

    You are not good enough to put into the right words. I can’t take more time out of your day. There are not enough minutes for you to sound right. There is nothing here to read. You have worn yourself out. You have been rundown. I am not in a weakened state. I can remove…

  • Poem: Has Been

    She said she was twisting, tossing and turning her head about. She used to be a country star. No one would look at her otherwise. She is shriveled up, hunched over like a raisin, committing posture suicide. She thinks she is bogged down, crushed like a little beetle. Red is her favorite color. She could…

  • TV Mini-Series Review: The House of Hammer (2022)

    ,

    The Hammer family reminds me of another rich family in Hollywood called the Getty family although in different ways. The three episodes in this TV series weaves between present and past time. It begins with an introduction to Armie Hammer’s life and expands from there, speaking about the Hammer family secrets and scandals that were…

  • Poem: More than Heat Rises

    The water boils over. The pot is alive. He says, “you need to pay attention.” The stove makes whooshing sounds. We aren’t having fun. One noodle has escaped. Dancing near the ring of fire. The rest of the noodles are edible. His nagging persists. Makes me grab paper towels, clean up the bubbled water, the…

  • Journal Entry Type #163: What Resonates with You?

    I few days ago I read this quote from Sylvia Plath. It really stuck with me for several reasons. I too go through periods of wanting to excel and experience as much as possibly can with the brain I was given at birth. I’m convinced at some point it might’ve been a cruel joke to…
