Journal Entry Type #145: So Are The Days Of Our Lives but This Isn’t A Soap Opera But Real Life

09/25/2022

Writing

For some reason since I lost my job prior to the one I currently have, I’ve been going up and down the rungs of a ladder called life. You could say many things remind me of the hardships in life. Ever since I can remember I thought my life would be difficult because a part

Flash Fiction: Getting the Message

09/25/2022

Flash Fiction, Writing

I thought of this idea as a short story or something I’d like to incorporate into a novel idea. I’ve been floating this around my head for some time and while it never really came out the way I liked on paper, one that made it understandable, I decided to post it anyway. It’s sort

Journal Entry Type #144: Be Real Not Fake, Please!

09/08/2022

Random Thoughts, Writing

Hello everyone, I’m starting this out a little differently by how I started this JET. I suppose I’m way overdue on my blog entries for September, given it’s now the 8th of this month. Two family members have a birthday this month and will be half a century old. Jeez, time flies by when living

Journal Entry Type #143: Life Gets Busier Not Less So

08/30/2022

Life, Writing

I’ve been reading a handful of books including a bunch of graduation speeches by Kurt Vonnegut. I need to read more of his work such as his novels. What I’m reading, while I don’t agree with everything he says, I do get where he is coming from (yes, I know you shouldn’t end a sentence

Journal Entry Type #142: Are Solutions Really as Easy as People Think?

07/31/2022

Writing

You know the phrase “Why can’t we all just get along?” as if that is all it will take for the world to be a better place. Yes, it is true that getting along is better than not getting along with someone. Forgiving someone is better than not forgiving someone in many ways. You don’t

Journal Entry Type #141: Are Months Getting Shorter Or Is It Just Me?

07/10/2022

Writing

I swear the months of each year are getting shorter and shorter as time goes by. The older I’m getting, the more it seems it seems the major holidays are upon me before I know it. I’m still unpacking and have a lot more to go. Between that and trying to better my life (in

Journal Entry Type #140: Middle of the Road and Year

06/30/2022

Life, Writing

We’re inching closer to December. One month at a time. I have so much to say but not much because it’s similar to past blogs. Unless you’ve won the lottery or discovered a new element, your life is going to be pretty much a bunch of mundane days piled into a week piled into a

Journal Entry Type #139: Don’t Be On The Menu

06/26/2022

U.S. Government, Writing

A lot has happened between the last time I wrote and now. It seems forever in an age. I haven’t been sleeping well because of my new apartment neighbors at times. I must be getting used to the talking my neighbors do in the morning. Since I work later in the afternoon, one of my

Journal Entry Type #131: Have I Finally Reached Any Peace?

05/14/2022

Writing

As with most things in life, humans need a break too from something, anything, and maybe, everything? Besides being busy packing (sort of), working (definitely), resolving incidents and possibilities within my brain (every day since May 1st and when I reached adulthood), trying to find new opportunities to better myself (the biggest crux of my

Journal Entry Type #130: Let Me Down, Again

04/30/2022

Life, Writing

I really didn’t know what to name my JET so I chose something that happens to people, regardless of their age, sex, nationality, and more. People don’t get everything they want even if they say they have in life. This never happens all the time. We don’t get what we want all the time. Some

Journal Entry Type #129: The Day After Earth Day

04/23/2022

Writing

I normally do something to celebrate Earth Day although I pretty much do it throughout the 365 days of each year. I recycle my paper, plastic, tin cans, aluminum, and more. If you’ve ever been to a recycling center in LA, it’s quite the production. They only take certain containers and definitely not tin cans.

Journal Entry Type #128: Nothing to Say Here So Move On

04/10/2022

Life, Writing

I’m beginning to fall in a pattern of only blogging once a week which happens to be on my days off of work. I suppose this is what happens when I’m the only one contributing to this blog and no longer working from home. I’ve been mentally in this state of wishing the dam would

Journal Entry Type #127: Music and Gelato Does Help Life Be More Tolerable

04/03/2022

Writing

I’ve been on a huge music kick. I’ve been listening to classical to jazz music and forgetting about all the rest of current music that sounds the same. When I listen to music in my car, I change it to jazz or classical. I’m at a juncture in my life where writing should be taking
