November 6 in The Beginning

I haven’t been able to login in over a month on my phone. Very frustrating, but alas I am alive. I refuse to believe that it is already the 6th of the month. These last few months have gone by to...

September 25 in The Beginning

I went to the poetry meeting today. Kind of a disappointment but I guess that’s what happens when you set your expectations and then being grounded by reality. Small group (which I expected), the...

September 24 in The Beginning

I think the Fall weather is slowly creeping in. At least what constitutes as “Fall weather” down here in southern America. Of course, it can never replicate those beautiful autumn days in the Nor...


I’ve always been a very sensitive person, I’ve always tried to impress people, I don’t like confrontation and I feel like a failure when I let someone down. This has been me my entire life. I hat...

September 2, 2023 in The Beginning

I come on here, partly because I feel as though it’s my obligation to check in and post. Yet, eveytime I do, I truly having nothing remarkable to say. The days and weeks pass by me in such a daze...

I walked around campus for around an hour. First to escape the heat and then to escape the rain. I walked around aimlessly at the library trying to find something to read. I picked up a collectio...

07/24/2023 in The Beginning

It’s a rainy day here in the city. The rain always reminds of the Leonard Cohen song, “Famous Blue Raincoat”. It’s been so hot recently that we really needed the rain. If not for the environ...

Almost 2 in the morning here, Eastern Standard Time. Sitting alone in my own personal haven, with a dim light and music fading in and out between my ears. (Bach sent us heaven through audible fre...

So here I am writing, in the early morning hours. Awake, fully alert, bored, and slightly on edge. Nothing out of the ordinary. I tell myself that writing today is useless, I have nothing of inte...

June 6 2023 in The Beginning

I have a feeling I won’t sleep tonight. I don’t want to sleep tonight, although it’s not like I’ve been doing anything worthwhile in the night to excuse myself of getting proper sleep. Sometimes ...


Life is a strange thing isn’t it? The idea that we, or you, or me exist for a moment and then presumably never again is such a strange thought. It makes me wonder why existence happens at all. Bi...

4/19/2023 in The Beginning

I haven’t been on here in quite a while. Days go on and they go by so quickly before I even have time to do anything with it. I wish I could stop time and not worry about not doing anything. I’m ...

March 20 in The Beginning

Just came back from a week in England, already missing it. The memories I made there will forever be with me and a part of me will never be the same as I am desperate to relive the feelings those...

Walkin Blues in The Beginning

Sitting down on the bench overlooking the pond listening to some Robert Johnson. Thinking about how fast time passes and how our life is just a small spect on the giant cosmic time-line. Weird to...

March 7 2023 in The Beginning

March 1 in The Beginning

A wave of happiness as hit me today, I’m extremely happy, I feel great about myself. I think it’s the weather. The sun is shining brightly, not too hot but enough to feel its warmth. There’s no w...

Wednesday Blues in The Beginning

Today I’ve just been doing schoolwork and figured that later today I’ll be doing some research on some philosophical/theological topics. For my own personal use, not for academic reasons. The la...

January 23 2023 in The Beginning

School is going well, still finding the groove between balancing work and education. A few days ago, I was sitting on the bench that overlooks the pond behind the school and a man came up to me t...


So far, the new year has been uneventful to the point that it reaches bleakness. I had a job interview earlier in the afternoon, I think it went well enough. It’ll keep me busy along with my scho...
