  • The monster and the cocoon.

    A monster is a monster, no matter what. I honestly cringe at realizing or acknowledging  this, but it’s true. I need to constantly remind myself this. Sometimes monsters hide, even in plain sight. We also have preconceived notions of what one is, what it looks like, and our precepctions predetermined. Abuse comes in different shapes…

  • It is not down on any map; true places never are.

    Life is hard sometimes….too bad there wasn’t an easy way to navigate through it. I always hear that it’s what you make of it, and it is what you make of it, which is true, but that only applies to the things you CAN control….whatever LIFE shows at you is another story. My life didn’t…

  • Watching the world pass by.

    Over the weekend,  my wife and I finally watched a film that was on our radar. The film was called “A Ghost Story “, and it was a very good, thought-provoking movie….for me at least. Basically, the plot is about a man who passes and comes back as a ghost….stuck in the last home he…

  • It goes on and on and on and on.

    Someone asked me recently what I did for fun….what my hobbies were. Honestly, I cringe sometimes when I get asked that because I  really don’t know how to answer that. I’m into and have been into so much stuff, and also half-assed hobbies, I don’t know what to say. In my almost half a century…

  • This isn’t easy.

    That’s right…it isn’t easy. Not only do I need to deal with my personal, everyday life, the world around me seems to be falling apart as well. What to do? We can’t control what we can’t control, so why even try? Need to worry about SELF and all the “human” stuff that goes with it.…

  • All I wanted was a Pepsi.

    Listening to the Spotify account and an oldie but a goodie came on. A lot of the words and lines in the lyrics make me think of myself and my situation. Felt some of it in my angsty teenage years, and to this day even in my “grown up” adult days: “Sometimes I try to…

  • It’s Already Over….before you start.

    Staying in the right state of mind is important. One of the most aggravating things in my journey anyway, is knowing what to do, how to go about things, but always seeming to sabotage myself. Or, if I make some sort of progress, not capitalizing or using the momentum to my advantage. As long as…

  • I am not who you think I am.

    How do the sayings go? “Can’t judge a book by it’s cover”, “Looks can be deceiving”, “All that is gold does not glitter”, and so on and so on. One thing I try to do, and I have for a while, is try to be considerate, and put myself in others shoes. They don’t know…

  • This is not meant for you, or me….

    In my last post, I briefly talked about one of the best movie soundtracks out there….Well here’s another one. I’ll be honest, may have to rewatch this one, but the soundtrack is GREAT. Produced by Korn’s Jonathan Davis. A lot of good tracks on here. Don’t believe me? Check it out…. One song on there…

  • Turkey that usually gets the bird…..

    This year has gone by so fast….life slows down for no one. All kinds of ups and downs, but soon new year, new me, right? Ugh, the cliches, so many… Just trying to take it one day at a time and roll with whatever punches come my way. That’s all we can do, right? I…
