Yes, I am just about positive I have used “Words to the Void” as a title before. To fill time, I’ve been reading Prosebox more. Others entries, my own, my history, etcetera. And throughout wh...


So, I do genuinely want to get input from folks but that will come after two specific things. (1) Yes, this is labeled Entry 58 instead of 57 because I should have titled the last Entry as 57 bu...


Rate A Date: Méav Location: Local Coffee Shop General Feeling: Probably No Second Date Let’s get into it: I woke up on time, showered, gelled my hair (probably far too much) and went to the ...


Okay, so I’ll admit, I started this entry Thursday night mostly with the intent of writing my TikTok video script because when I’m talking about something that isn’t a political perspective, I w...


Let’s do this one slightly out of order- As I walked into the office this morning, I saw the wall calendar with a big bold black lettering 20 on it. And it slapped me in the face with rage, di...


I am in a bad mood today. I mean, it makes sense. Donald Trump signed an Executive Order saying the Supreme Court doesn’t exist and shouldn’t have any power. My own state government wants to e...


So… what did I end up actually doing last night? I got home and immediately launched into the legislative portal. I read the text proposed and how it got squishy in committee and how it passed f...


I know my words won’t impact a DAMNED person; but I sent this to 30 legislators last night: My name is PARKROW FALLOUT, I was born in A County, Iowa, was raised in A Different County Iowa, rece...


On Sunday, I woke up right as church was starting. Ultimately, I could have grabbed my phone or my computer and watched the service from home anyway; but I knew I had to get my driveway and sid...


The… weekend. As I said, on Friday I took myself to a double feature. Of course, I availed myself of their online amenities and even put my concessions order in before hand. WHICH one would as...


I spent a long time writing about something in our culture that seems… prolific. Poisonous. And something that I remember being repeatedly told “isn’t important” growing up. But I realized I ...


Speed Dating Occurred. I arrived promptly at 6:40 when doors were said to open. The event was to start at 7. I received a numbered card, a name tag, and the number three. I went into the pla...


I am a fool, an idiot, and far more lucky than I should ever expect. I had big plans for the weekend. My body, however, shut down. And I felt terribly about not coming in to the office. And I...


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...


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...
