Random Photo of Myself

07/19/2020

Random Thoughts

I have some negatives from black and whites I took a long time ago. I used to develop my own film and prints when I was in college. I was no Ansel Adams or Annie Leibovitz, but I had fun with it. I really would like to get back into photos at some point in

More Sand in Tiny Glass Bottles

07/18/2020

Random Thoughts

I‘ll probably eventually try to sell these along with my bookmarks, but in the meantime I’m all about filling tiny glass bottles with different colors of sand. Trust me, there’s no pressure to try to start an online business because as we all know that takes a lot of dedication, time, and money. Besides, I

Music and Jogging

07/17/2020

Music, Random Thoughts

With Grant Imahara dying, interview of Mary Trump, COVID not going away, paralyzing world economy, my car making sounds I don’t like, and personal things I wish were different, I have gravitated toward things that make me feel better or so I believe. Sometimes, I think I should be doing something else (read better and

Journal Entry Type #49: How Long Does It Take You to Stop Remembering Something?

07/04/2020

Random Thoughts, Writing

I posted a blog about made for TV movies. I included most every one of them I saw and remembered. This was back in February 2019. Guess what? About a month after I wrote, I thought about the story of the Stolpa’s. They were a young married couple with a baby and they got stuck

Journal Entry Type #48: Tuesday Busy

06/23/2020

Random Thoughts, Writing

Monday is done and over with and luckily I had today off although I’m going to be working on Saturday. Since the Coronavirus kicked into high gear, I’ve had to work at least one Saturday a month. You give and take some and whatever it brings is what is on my plate. I started a

Flash Fiction: The Discarded Notebook

06/19/2020

Flash Fiction, Random Thoughts

I’ve been wanting to write something but not sure what to write or how to write it. By this I mean carefree without hardly any editing or careful planning with some editing. I chose the prior and fair warning there are swear words and some adult content. If the threat of violence or ghosts is

Journal Entry Type #46: Seven Topics

06/11/2020

Random Thoughts, Writing

Topic One: Hackers — I don’t like most of them because not only do they try to get into my email accounts but other things of mine on social media. I’ve adopted the two factor authentication or as I call it two tier authentication for most of my things after realizing people have too much

Journal Entry Type #45: I Have a Few Bones to Pick and Then Let Go

05/31/2020

Random Thoughts, US History, Writing

It looks like WP realized typing in gray wasn’t really the way to go in terms of color. I went back to the old way of WP instead their new format of blocks because I couldn’t get the words I typed to be black. It’s the little things that bother me. Needless to say, I’m

Journal Entry Type #43: Earthquakes, Dreams, and Insistence

05/19/2020

Random Thoughts, Writing

Time really creeps up on me. It’s already been three days without posting anything. I started writing this the day someone found me rude not to reply right away. It wasn’t on this blog he reached out to me, but somewhere else. I get it. You want to be heard, have a connection, but based

What Stayed with Me: Roddy McDowall as Ariel in “The Tempest”

05/06/2020

Made for TV Movies, Photographs, Random Thoughts

“Before you can say ‘come and go,’ And breathe twice and cry ‘so, so,’…” I remember coming across the picture on the left, both originally published in Life Magazine and taken by photographer, Eliot Elisofon. I had gotten somewhere during high school. I’m not sure where because I didn’t subscribe to this magazine, but when

A Look Back at My Short Lived Gaming Life

05/04/2020

Games, Random Thoughts

I’m not one to sit down and play video games although I do live with someone who can spend hours trying to finish one game. The first computer game I ever played was The Oregon Trail in school. It was a kind of educational game where you learn about the pioneering days and how treacherous

Journal Entry Type #42: Time to Wake Up!

05/03/2020

Music, Random Thoughts, Writing

I’ve had an interesting few last weeks, to say the least. I’ve gone between feeling overwhelmed and pressured to relatively calm and going with flow for the majority this week. I realized I’ve been stress eating and I finally weened myself off that disaster. I was jogging outside but it’s getting warmer now (high 90s

Journals: I Keep Them in Stock

04/13/2020

Random Thoughts

I decided to buy a few more journals despite having a few spares around. Like with various kinds of lip moisturizer, I never have too many spare journals. I’m not writing in them as often as I’d like, but now maybe I will since I have nine empty ones waiting to be inked up. I
