I found this in one of my notebooks and it gave me a laugh: Second year creative writing MFA student seeking: male, orphan, massage therapist who plays hockey. Must be no older than thirty-two. Would prefer some post-high school education (Bachelor’s degree or better). Submissives need not apply. Must appreciate quirky sense of humor and…

The stories of what are happening in my life.
A New Lease on Life
Hey Ya’ll, I know I disappeared for a bit and I am sorry. I was having a really hard time at my job. My stress levels were through the roof and I had no mental space to take care of myself. But I am back. I got a new job and I am at the…
Photos for a Cause
Hey Everyone! Sorry it has been so long between posts but LOTS have been happening in my life and I will update you soon enough on it, but first I am part of this awesome initiative that needs help and since I have a little bit of reach I wanted to get the message out…
Impenetrable
I am impenetrable. I am impenetrable because I will it to be so. I have the last say and I will not let you dig under my skin and I will not let you manipulate me and I will not allow you to have any power or sway over me. I have the agency in…
Kudos to a Friend

Update and Process
Hey Delightful Readers! Good news, today was my 2/3rds day so I worked 6 hours instead of 9 and was able to come home and do some transcribing. I have the odd quirk of being unable to create in text documents on computers. I sit down and see the endless expanse of nothing and my…
Dentist’s Visit
It’s a tiny village, it takes less than a handful of minutes to drive through as long as the tourists stay on the sidewalk and the asshole driving in front of you doesn’t pull any dumb moves. The middle school and high school parking lots are empty and the only people there is the maintenance…

Looks Like Home
We pull off the highway and I stare at the overpass in a daze caused by four hours of sleep followed by nine hours on my feet, and a five hour bus trip that I am just now halfway through. I know we are far from Baldwinsville, but for a moment I swear that when…
