A Walk Into The Sunset
I have a way with words. I didn't always. But for much of my adult life, I have known how to use language. I always knew the power of words, dating back to my childhood, but it wasn't until ...
In The Rain
The rain came down pretty good today. I'm talking cats, dogs, fat chicks (and for the record, I don't mind ladies with a bit of meat on their bones), and elephants. Today's rain was intense...
Taking Advantage IN The Cold
As has been the case for much of this week, it's been cold outside. The recent rain likely has something to do with that and far be it for me to complain about the slight dip in temperatures. ...
2026 Is Definitely Underway And Wet
It rained for most of the day today. That wasn't a surprise, being that rain had been in the forecast for much of the week. I believe there was a over a 90% chance that rain was going to fall...
Closing Out 2025
Business as usual for today, I suppose. I wasn't able to stay home, maybe as I would've intended, but I want to say that I was somewhat productive. I went to work this morning, early as I ...
Another Quick Escape
I didn't even bother trying to stay in the office past noon today. I checked out just before 8am this morning and as was the case yesterday, I did not look back. I have plenty of vacation tim...
Running Needlessly
I keep playing Battlefield 6 for the PS5. I want to say that I've gotten about as good as I'm going to get in the game. I get kills. I die. In fact, I die a lot. My intent when I play this ...
Finally Cold Outside
Finally, the morning temperatures around here have dipped below 55. This morning, the temperature outside was 43. Yesterday morning, we hit 40. Now, being that I'm in Southern California, it...
Needlessly Rambling
For whatever the reason, this past week at work was especially busy for me. At this time of the year, this sort of chaos would be unexpected. I can't explain it and I don't try to, but I am a...
Moments In Being Less Fat And Diabetic
I grew up a fat kid. For the most part anyway. I think I went through a very brief, though inexplicable thin spell when I was in second and third grades and then I plumped up and assumed the r...
Running Headfirst Into December
As the 2025-2026 college football season winds down, it would appear that this season's college football playoff will be out of reach for most schools in the country. My alma mater will be one ...
The Holiday Season Once Again
Thanksgiving yesterday came and went and thankfully, life went right back to some state of normalcy. At least, for me it did. Since I've been on my diabetes medication, my relationship with...
A Tragic Anniversary And The World Gets Dumber
According to the front page at Yahoo, today marks the 62nd anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. I didn't know that off the top of my head, though truth be told, I was...
Overwhelmed By Fatigue
I don’t want to say that I’ve given up, but I think that I’m done playing the game. Though the people themselves might be different, the outcomes that they bring are really all the same. I’...
Not Smelling Right
It's rare that I come home from work completely drained and dead tired. This wasn't one of those days, but I'd say that it wasn't too far off. I suppose I'm at my typical level of tired right ...
Birthdays, Rain, And Simulated Gunfire
Breanna had a birthday today. Morie has a birthday tomorrow. I sent Breanna that obligatory "Happy Birthday" text message this afternoon. I'll be sending Morie her birthday text message tomo...
Valor Earned
Today is Veteran's Day. As far as Dad is concerned, it's just another day on the calendar. He was never the type to hype up his military service, not only in retirement, but even when he was a...
Still Sick, But Not Begging
At one point, it was 88 degrees outside today. That would be Southern California in early November for you. Those kinds of temperatures make me feel worse than I already do. I've always bee...
Battling Illness
Today would be my third day of battling this damn cold. For the moment, I'm fatigued. I'm congested. My eyeballs hurt. I keep coughing. I've been experiencing what I would consider to be ...
Still Battling
It is rare that I get sick. Sometimes, I truly believe that I might be made of iron. If I'm guessing, it's been just over a year since I experienced even the slightest tinge of a cold. I say...
Mulling Things Over
A person I once called a friend had convinced me to became a part of prosebox and I did, in thinking that this would have been a way for us to communicate, share our writing with each other, and...
Wasn't That Long Ago
This would have been the time when I would have wished her a good night...
From Machine To...
For a brief moment in time, she regarded me as a machine. Regardless of my energy levels, I could do anything. I recharge my battery just enough for the following day. Shine my armor, poli...
Could Always Be Worse
I know that I complain a lot, especially about my work environment, but in the grand scheme of things, I should probably be more grateful than I present. In all honesty, I am grateful that the...
Gradual Return To Gaming
I had written this really poetic and heartfelt entry, but I decided at the last minute to scrap the whole thing. I spent a good part of the day writing it and piecing it together, but in the e...
