Credit Where Credit is Due: I stole this. One of the Prosebox writers on here that I respect and consider a friend (even have them on some Socials) put the work in to compile questions from Red...


This morning went much as could be expected. I woke up when my alarm went off, hit snooze, and played that game for about an hour. Which… who we are is comprised of everyone who influenced us....


This isn’t going to be actually spicy and what’s worse is that I fear whether this will merely come off as whiny. I find myself today feeling a way that is difficult to put in appropriate words...


So, this will be quick. Much quicker than expected certainly. Facebook Dating Girl cancelled, asked for a rain check. So, I downloaded Hinge again which… may have been a truly terrible idea as ...


It is a particularly interesting perspective sitting in the audience of this particular theater around the beginning of February. Last year and the year before, I would be up on that stage. Thi...


Before going to bed, I was perusing the Iowa Match Makers site. Yes, a matchmaking site is where I am these days. And profile after profile after profile consistently listed “tall” as a requirem...


So, yes- by naming scheme this should be called Entry 19 as WHAT was not a Title Format Fitting Title. But WHAT replaced Entry 19: A Funny Thing and so I’m honoring the Spirit of the Naming. W...

WHAT in Much Ado About Nothing

Prosebox just ate a long and very detailed entry. Literally “starting last night at 9 pm” to “as I leave the office at 5 pm. The “save NEW” didn’t work. The “save to draft” didn’t work. I go...


Today started with less fanfare. Mostly the earnest debate with myself on whether I get my bones out of bed or not. Ultimately, I succumbed to the inevitable. Got up, got dressed, discovered i...


I am wondering if my increased pain for today stems from this feeling of massive dehydration. Last night with dinner, I had a large tankard of water. But it was the only water I’d had all day....


I have a strong suspicion that today will be a two-entry day (or more). Fear not, I won’t assault this space with a deluge of content in some effort to make up for last year. I DO find it inte...


Traditionally, I would spend the first entry of the year discussing why I chose the book name, discussing how I would like the coming year to look, really digging in on the elements of “One year...


It is exceedingly humorous. I go into my DRAFTS folder and the number of drafts is large indeed. But only a few drafts above where “2024 End Year Survey” was.... I saw “2023 End Year Survey” w...


I had originally planned this entry out. And then life got in the way. And then it got more in the way. And so the plan turned into a vague idea. And then I got home and wanted to say more ...


BECAUSE today is December 17th, I am personally guaranteeing I will write more than one entry today! That said, I should start this entry with last night! The temperature again went from “in t...


I write too much, I know. There was a TODAY entry found here. And a “Overthinking and Music” entry with restricted access. But I got some less than awesome news and my research regarding that...


Eight different ways to begin this just charged through my mind at once. I am here to discuss something which, many years ago, I may have left as a vague-ish nothing on facebook. It appears, ev...


It is when I know that I absolutely positively have to be awake at a certain time… that I cannot sleep at all. Which is compounded by a throat I can actually feel getting sore due to whatever is...


That moment when you are drunk, exhausted, and horny. But still emotionally confident that ending your relationship was the right thing to do. Frankly, says a lot. When “God, I wish there was ...


Prompt: Pretend you’re a critic and review a book or movie of your choice. Heh! When I was 14, my entrepreneurial aunt wanted to really encourage me to look into what it meant to “work for your...


Full entry upcoming, as ever, but… theater… acting… is such a weird experience. People with Julliard Backgrounds struggling to be more than just “Dude in Commercial”. Actors like D.B. Woodside ...


I realized that what I was going to share here first could easily be marked as Spam. I would hope that my having had a paid membership since the option began and my now 10 years of writing woul...


So, I had about three paragraphs written. Some emotionally honest. Some deeply legal. I fucked up at work, I don’t feel good, and I have a lot to do. I wanted to call in sick today because I...


I am fucking furious!!! Because international acts don’t come to Iowa, in order to see them- people from this state have to travel out of State. This is logical and unfortunate as fuck. But for ...


So, last night I needed to get things taken care of in order to be ready. I didn’t get nearly as much done as I had wanted to! I still needed to unload the dishwasher and pack for the trip. I...
