Update for...the year?

 This could become more involved than originally anticipated. Or not.

Lecithin: my own "miracle drug"?

Though I hate that type of usage, this could be a huge game changer for me.

The Disappearing Man

I just got hit by a freight train of Jello.

Palm Springs, Pt. III (Pt. 2)

I've calmed down now. All is much better.

Palm Springs, Pt. III

So...here we are.

Writing and narrating

Gotten to a point where I'm entertaining putting more of my voice out there.

Tricky technology

So here's a thought for ya.

Writing for writing's sake

Because I have a keyboard and I can.

On nostalgia and progress

Written as I ponder this can of orange Slice before me.

Blah. Editing?

Beginning to question my vocation here.

For a Substack—perhaps. Or perhaps not.

Because, you see, I need to write.

More reckoning thoughts...

This will take some time.

A reckoning of sorts.

"And then one day I woke up, and I realized I was never going to be normal, so I said, "Fuck it." I said, "So be it."

Back to...*sigh*...the bee

It's been an interesting 16 years.

Focus and SATs

An attempt at improving my focus.

Relationships

Or maybe I'm overdramatizing this. Anyhow...
