I finally witnessed a game of Jenga this weekend and I can’t say I was that impressed. Stack some blocks, then start pulling blocks out. Surprise! The whole thing falls down. That’s genius right there. Not the game, no, that’s stupid. I did that when I was four years old with generic blocks or pots [...]

Is my education who I am now?
While you’re deciding, I’ve been finding

If I’ve been taught from the beginning
Would my fears now be winning?

I had to order fifteen undergraduate transcripts recently. Turns out I only needed thirteen so I decided to open one up [...]
Have you ideas on how this life ends?
Checked your hands and studied the lines
Have you the belief that the road ahead, ascends off into the light?

Today I can’t quite focus my eyes on anything and I’m twitching, so [...]

Somebody shoot me. I’m never going to get out. Save yourselves. Feed my pet squirrel for me.
Mama, it’s cold out. I don’t wanna go to school. Don’t make me go, momma.
I just wanted to mention that. I’m at work. I’ve been here since 11:30 p.m. I’m quite tired, and I think I just saw a pink chipmunk dance across my monitor.
I did. There she is again. I’m just going to follow her…follow her…toward that bright light down the hall.
Isn’t it funny how when you’re tired [...]
Isn’t it great how the week before a vacation feels like it takes ten times as long as a normal week? Of all the times to have the slowest, most boring week, it has to come when you need a fast one the most.
I’m pretty sure the same applies, only in reverse, for the vacation [...]
