Photo by Preslie Hirsch on Unsplash.com Happy Thanksgiving! A day of feasting, laughing with family, and taking a moment to genuinely give thanks for the good things in life.

Facing The End Of The World With Cynicism
Photo By Joel Filipe on unsplash.com I read a quote that said something like, and I’m paraphrasing, a skeptic would ask God for their identification.

And Pivot!
Photo by Utopia By Cho on Unsplash.com So, this is different. Mondays have a certain structure to them, and I’m acting like it’s any given Tuesday. What's wrong with me? Have I no sense of decorum?

The Eviction Of My Own Mind
Photo by JR Korpa on Unsplash.com Three weeks. I was locked up, alone with my thoughts, for three whole weeks. Thanks a lot, COVID! Being sick sucked.

A Case Of The Wibbly Wobbilies
Photo by Jeremy Thomas on Unsplash.com Time. A swirling vortex of mass, substance, and neon luminescent gas. Ever-changing, evolving, turning itself inside and out. A chameleon and a con man. The good guy and the villain. The hero and the arch-nemesis. All-consuming and apathetic. It is everything and it is nothing at all. An illusion.... Continue Reading →
The Meaningless Meaning Of An Outbreak Monkey
Photo by Andrew Neel from Pexels “Life has to be given a meaning because of the obvious fact that it has no meaning.” ― Henry Miller I’ve been stuck in a time loop for a few weeks so maybe this is coming from a place of madness, loneliness, or too much alone time with my demons.

The Cripple Versus The Zombie Apocalypse
Photo by Apollo Reyes on Unsplash.com *Before I get into today’s post, I want to take a minute to remember the lives lost and the lives changed nineteen years ago. 9/11 is a painful anniversary for so many of you and the constant reminder, constant coverage, can make it worse so I’ll keep it short....
