These past nearly FIVE YEARS have been a learning experience for sure. In the end, I found IDQT calling me back. It said, "You have more bullshit to talk about and ramble on for paragraphs for. Come back!" (this is all said with kind of Chris Hemsworth tone but a little more ethereal. Think Galadriel meets Thor.)
The Looming Monster
Hey gang! Sometimes I wonder about me. The other me. The insecure part of ourselves that tends to bleed through. I always wonder what that part of me would be like if it was the me that is the most prevalent part. We all have these masks that hide our crazy, right? In dating,... Continue Reading →
Rotten Hamburger
He started feeling nauseated and we went home. He started throwing up and I was an asshole. I decided to peek my chubby brown face around the corner and lightly taunt him.
A lot like gravity.
Hey Gang! I recently had the privilege of being the best man for my closest friend of nearly 15 years. I wanted to share the speech I wrote. I wrote it because it rang true about he and his wife from my point of view. When I was done with it, I wanted to share... Continue Reading →
The Ass In The Field
Hey Gang! I was driving home and listening to music at an unreasonably high volume this weekend. I saw multiple things around me that caught my attention: I saw a woman picking her nose, a flock of geese narrowly miss a semi, and the poor mangled body of an old deer. I saw these things...

We are all high. I think there is a truth about myself and about some others. I would like to think, to some degree, that this is true about everyone. I believe we all want to be natural disasters. We want to be seen as beautiful and ethereal and monstrous at the same time. Ladies,... Continue Reading →

Dolphins are able to notice their own reflections, one of two which includes humans.; 3. We are, be you creationist or evolutionist or evolution-creationists, all just animals. We are beautiful, flawed creatures that are... Continue Reading →
Universes, part II
(Hey Gang! This is a post that is from another blog that I write for a newspaper's website. It was unfortunately censored. I decided that I would uncensor it and publish it here.)I sit here now, talking my brother out of making me into an incidental chat roulette star while I type. I think about... Continue Reading →
Forget Yourself
Hey Gang!So, I have been bogged down with taking notes on the textbook that I will be teaching to students this year. It was a terribly dull and arduous four days of taking in-depth notes but i feel as if I could teach speech to great white sharks in a volcano! (can you imagine?)While doing... Continue Reading →
The Day John Henry Died
Hey Gang! What is strength?Is strength something that comes from within you? Some sort of primal trait we have hidden within us that bursts forth in times of need. Is it something summoned willingly? What is its potential? Where is it coming from? What is strength?There is this really great old story that I love. It's... Continue Reading →
