The best advice I can give someone who is just starting out in life such as in their early twenties or even early thirties, is expect the unexpected. I know I’ve said this before, but I never thought I’d be in this position I’m in now. Seriously, I’ve never thought I would be here but…
I spent yesterday watching the midterm elections. I spent today watching a minor surgery and having unexpected reaction to either food I ate earlier or the combination of watching syringes shooting lidocaine into someone and the smell of burnt flesh as the skin was cut open. This led to me having to excuse myself and…
I’ve spent the last week trying to not get sick because I’ve been around sick people. Needless to say, I got sick and now have been trying to not let the virus get too out of hand, as if I even have a choice. I’ve been watching Animal Kingdom all day long and wishing I…
I’m not even touching my second novel until the new year so enjoy this FF because it’s based on a dream I recently had, which seems to be my inspiration lately because I’m not getting it anywhere else. As I watched from a distance the long semitruck back up within a tight space, I was…
I used to believe the world was in front of me, full of possibilities, and while I somewhat still believe this, another part of me is less convinced the world has an infinite number of possibilities. I don’t think everyone born onto this planet (Earth at the moment) is on the same footing. It is…
I feel like I’ve failed again completing blog postings at the end of September, but I have a good reason, I suppose. It’s not an excuse but I’ve come to a point in life where I’m not going to apologize for living my life the way I want to, no matter how lazy I have…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
