2022

Well it’s officially a brand new year. I’ve tempered my enthusiam because of obvious reasons, but, I’m pretty excited about my new bluetooth keyboard for my new tablet I got for Christmas! I’m hoping to write more blog posts this year, and not feel so bad if they’re a little shorter than what they haveContinue reading “2022”

My Hero, Bucky Barnes

It took some time to finally organize my thoughts into a cohesive narrative. It has been several weeks since I watched The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. When I finished the series, I immediately watched it again. And again and again. All of the thoughts and emotions surrounding Bucky Barnes, one half of the titularContinue reading “My Hero, Bucky Barnes”

Working From Home

It’s 10 AM on a cloudy Wednesday morning in January. The curtains are open, letting hazy blue-grey light illuminate my bedroom. My essential oil diffuser is running at full speed, filling the room with the gentle aroma of white tea. I look to my left and see my laptop. I look to my right andContinue reading “Working From Home”

So, Uhhh…There Was a Coup

January 6, 2021 started like any other morning. Breakfast, shower, work. Nothing at all out of the ordinary. Until it happened. The Invasion. These weren’t invaders from a foreign country, but invaders consisting of traitors who were home-grown in the USA. I have many feelings about this insurrection and I still haven’t been able toContinue reading “So, Uhhh…There Was a Coup”

Life is Beautiful

I won’t sugar coat it. I’ve been severely depressed and incredibly anxious. That’s not hyperbole; I have major depressive disorder and generalized anxiety disorder, and the trauma of living through a period of social upheaval, political unrest, and a global pandemic where people have been dying at an alarming rate has begun to take it’sContinue reading “Life is Beautiful”

Why I Skipped One Week in December

When I started this blog, my goal was to post twice per week, every week. This was something I was able to do without fail for months until the week of December 7, 2020. It would be easier to say something huge and dramatic happened which prevented me from creating posts for that week, butContinue reading “Why I Skipped One Week in December”

Chasing Happiness

Sometimes when I laugh really hard, especially for a prolonged period of time, I feel sad and hollow inside afterward. Its like the crash after a sugar or caffeine high. I don’t know why this happens, but when it does happen, I try to make note of it. I was laughing at a funny StateContinue reading “Chasing Happiness”

A Message of Encouragement to Myself

Hi, I just wanted to start by saying that what you went through was not your fault. What he did was despicable, and reflects poorly on him and not you. You were an innocent child. I want you to know that what happened to you doesn’t make you damaged or broken. You are a survivor.Continue reading “A Message of Encouragement to Myself”

I Wrote A Parody of Shakespeare’s Sonnet 18

This is an experiment in writing the opposite of Shakespeare’s Sonnet 18 I wasn’t going for accuracy, but for the most insult per line! I hope you all have a laugh and enjoy! Shall I compare thee to a horse’s arse? Thou art more loathsome and repugnant. Thine pimples more numerous than the stars. Methink’stContinue reading “I Wrote A Parody of Shakespeare’s Sonnet 18”

I Really Like “Kingsman: The Secret Service”

According to Britannica Encyclopædia, “flat characters are two-dimensional in that they are relatively uncomplicated and do not change throughout the course of a work. By contrast, round characters are complex and undergo development, sometimes sufficiently to surprise the reader” (Encyclopædia Britannica). I watched the movie Kingsman: The Secret Service many times since it premiered, andContinue reading “I Really Like “Kingsman: The Secret Service””
