I woke up from a stress dream a few minutes ago. I am so out of practice I didn’t even quite get that it was a dream for a minute, a second, however long that period of time in is when your consc...

She walked by a cell phone on the sidewalk. It was lit and a man’s voice was coming from the small speaker. She hurried past so the sound of her heels would be indistinguishable. She thought as...

I know flashes are done, dead, over with. At least as an institution here on Prosebox, if they ever were. October was flash month. In the bad old days on that other journaling site, flashers love...

---

Ever since Facebook started offering to share old memories … shit. You know how facebook offers to share old posts? A lot of them are linked to OD. This came from a Flash October prompt. I like i...

I was thinking about something and my computer shut down. It’s been happening too frequently, though, most times it’s some kind of fucking upgrade or other. I stumbled across a can of air so I to...

I might have waited too long to process stuff from the wedding. Two different levels of adrenaline and joy, and then almost a week to deescalate. My doctors office had a wild hair too, so I had t...

“ Why you peeing in a cup mister?” “Parole officer. Why are you?” “Mom. Why does prole ‘cifer want your pee?” “Because he’s a sad little man. Why does your mom want yours?” “She doesn’t. She just...

So I’m in this gas station in Wyoming and I picked up some water and cigerettes (shut up, I’m quitting again). “Do you have American Spirit Blacks?” I swear you could hear gears spinning. “Um, wh...

Heh. This is like the bad old days. When you get a bit a teary eyed for OD you can go to facebook for your circular argument fix. For those who don’t know Alan Pedersen was Spoo on OD. I don’t ho...

---

I keep writing, erasing and rewriting a toast in my head for my daughters wedding. When push comes to shove I’ll probably just wing it; a rehearsed toast sounds like a speech, and, no matter how ...

---

I thought I had posted the thing below, I guess not. So I’ll tack it on at the bottom. Every decade of my life I have crossed this country at least twice by road and I can’t rightfully recall how...

It doesn’t matter what kind of asshole you are, I’m going to try my absolute best to treat you with kindness and as much respect as I can manage, just don’t thank me for it. It’s not about me and...

I don’t think I’ve been documenting it well here, and, um, that’s sort of a good use of a journal, though, not an entertaining use. The it, subject of previous sentence, is a broad pervasive move...

So I was thinking … yeah, shut up, I know you ”thought you smelt sumthin’ burning” Old jokes are the new old jokes, and, anyhow, he whom smelt it … Sometimes I actually think in entry form. This...

So I’m watching last nights Preacher on xfinity dot com and something is fucked up, it plays every commercial at the commercial break. There were, among ads for products and shit, four commercial...

---

So I chatted with daughter last night, first time since the weirdness, I mean the weirdness between her and I, general weirdness is pervasive in perpetuity. You can disagree with that statement, ...

I went to the sexually ambiguous taco bell for lunch. I might not have mentioned it, but I’m not on a diet, I am paying attention to my appetite, but not that which I feed it. I know, you want to...

---

I was digging through my archives looking for nothing in particular. This is from 9/11/2002. Guess I didn’t much care for editing then either. Beyond the Columbia River I harbor neither fictions ...

68 degrees and 90 percent humidity, that’s either bragging or my only excuse (hopefully), oh and I’m 56 fucking years old and have been a whiney couch potato. I went on my most ambitious ride of ...
