Funk #4,999

The brain is a tricky beast. You don’t often think about the brain getting fatigue, much like say your calves or forearms after a strenuous workout. Or hell, maybe you do. I don’t, anyways. I’ve been dealing with anxiety and panic attacks for over 10 years now, so I’ve gotten used to what they feel […]

The Hits Keep Hitting

I think I’ve gotten to the point this summer that I’m done complaining. It seems the more you complain the more the universe wants to mess with you. What’s the phrase? “The squeaky wheel gets the grease”? Yeah, well the universe is greasing me up real good this year. But hey, we’re all alive and […]

Instrumental

Music has always been my escape. It’s been a soundtrack to life, both in good and bad times. It’s helped define for me who I am and what I want to spend my free time within. It was the thing that gave me purpose, and something to help me connect to others when my introverted […]

“I’m Going Through Changes”

It’s been a weird year so far. No big vacations, no big events like graduations, and nothing standing out as monumental. It’s been quiet, but not in a peaceful sort of way. The last two months have been dominated by health issues our daughter’s been dealing with, and the last two weeks were by far […]

Friday Reprieve(Requiem For A Nightmare)

This has been one hell of a ride, reality. I get it, we humans are tough and can take whatever God/Satan/Medical Emergencies/Baphomet can throw at us. But man, these last 9 to 10 days have been pitching some seriously dangerous fast balls at my head and landing quite a few of them. I’m not going […]

All’s Meh That Ends Meh

You ever have one of those weeks where you feel like the world is crumbling around you, and you can’t quite find shelter from it? What ever can go bad does go bad? Yeah? Well I most definitely had that week last week, and it moved right on into the weekend for a nearly 7-day […]

Back At Monday, 4-Day Weekend, Kept It Low Key

This was a four day weekend that was much needed. Unfortunately it’s already in the rearview, and we’re looking down the barrel of another 5-day work week. Wednesday was my last day at work, yet it feels like I’d just clocked out. Ehh, that’s pretty much how this life goes, innit? You enjoy yourself and […]

Summer Heat, July 4th, Thinking The Things

We’re officially in July. Halfway point of the year 2025, which seems crazy as my brain is still somewhere back at the end of March or early April. That chug of time keeps on chugging, whether you’re ready or not. I think Spring has officially become that one week between cold and hot. There doesn’t […]

So Damn Hot

With each passing year I’m of the opinion that we as a planet are cruising for a bruising, in the form of overwhelming heat. I had my share of super hot days as a kid in the 80s, sure. We had upper 80s and 90s, and there were a few trips to Kings Island and […]

29 Years

My wife and I were married on a very hot and balmy June 15, 1996 in a community building in Winona Lake, Indiana by a Justice of the Peace. The building was filled with a who’s who of family, friends, and distant acquaintances that I probably barely knew back then. I certainly don’t remember them […]
