Alone

Most of the time, being single really doesn’t bother me anymore. I’ve never been in any sort of relationship. I’ve never even been asked out let alone been on a date. And most days, I couldn’t ca...

Another purge is coming

So I’ve decided to go incognito on Facebook for awhile. I haven’t decided how long yet. No “sharing” or “liking.” No comments on anything. I’ll still be there looking, but I want to be as invisi...


One of my regular customers at the store tonight came in, showed me her hands and said, “You know you play too much pool when it looks like you’ve jacking off a Smurf. ” A little too vulgar for s...

Hot Gates

There is no great thing, to stop and sing Waiting for the rain And this perfect pill, it’s all too much On the edge again Don’t look away Couldn’t help but note a cold disdain In your precious f...

Birthdays

Happy birthday brother. I hope you are at peace because our hearts still ache.


There was a time, not so very long ago, that people always commented about me being such a strong person. I never saw it then, but looking back I can see that I was. I had to be. Mostly for my b...

I give up on people

I love how all of my friends are so wonderfully non-commital. Seriously. If you don’t have the balls to tell me that you don’t want to do something, or that something has come up and you need to...


So today was my grandma’s birthday. She has a big get together every year with her side of the family. Lots of people, lots of food and lots of memories. Today was a big one. Grandma the piano t...

Everybody lies

Everybody said this would get easier with time. You’ve been gone a year now, and I miss you more every day. The pain is as bad today as it was a year ago, maybe worse. I close my eyes and see you...

Day 2

A year ago today I got a phone call at work. The doctors said there was nothing else they could do. Mom, dad, and I took turns helping you breathe all night long. I slept in a chair by your side...


One year ago tonight, I played a game with you for the last time. You begged me to stay and finish the game, but I had plans and I went out for supper and a night of drinking with my best friend....

Some day I'll sleep

Every night it’s the same. I read until I can’t keep my eyes open any more, turn off the lights, and then I’m awake. How many hours until I fall asleep this time? It’s been two already…all of the...

sleep schedule

Sleep continues to elude me. I’ve always been an insomniac, but lately it has been really bad. My mind is just all over the place. We’ve been back from California for a week now. I’m already goi...

Can't sleep

I can’t seem to shut my brain off tonight, which is fairly normal for me anymore. Instead of turning on the lights and reading more (I’ve already read over 200 pages tonight), I’ll just waste my ...

2014 Year-end Survey

What did you do in 2014 that you’d never done before? ~ Worked in a call center, had real friends in the same city as me as an adult, was a pallbearer, wrote an obituary, passed a kidney stone,...

30 years

What the fuck am I supposed to do now?

Dynamite

I don't burn my bridges, I blow them up. It can be lonely sometimes, but it keeps me from going back to the people and places that are so toxic to me. I'm getting ready to blow another bridge and...

People suck

I'm having a week. When I first took this job, I thought a desk job would be a good thing for me, especially for my shoulder. I really haven't noticed any improvement in my shoulder, but then I...


I thought when I opened an account with Prosebox that I may write more than I did the last couple of years on OD. I never felt the need to write towards the end. Obviously, I didn't feel the need...


Book Description

I’ve been having issues with my judgement family on Facebook, so I guess it’s time to get more serious about writing again. I haven’t written regularly since college just because I’ve gotten better at coping with my life. I guess maybe I’m back.
