What’s up, dude? Long time no talk! Even though I AM you, we’ve been really distant from each other lately. I’ve missed you and I’m writing this letter because I’m really worried about you. It’s 2017! March is just around the corner and you started this year out just as all the others, hopelessly optimistic […]
Donald Trump has been elected to be the next President of the United States. So what now? A lot of people are angry. Plenty of people are confused. Some cheer while others wave their fists at the air. How could this happen in AMERICA!?!?! Easy. People voted for the person they wanted to win. There […]
Snap your finger. Go ahead, I’ll wait. Did you do it? Liar…come on do it! You’re the best! That finger snap is the amount of time it takes for your life to change. I was robbed at gunpoint after work on Thursday, Sept. 1. I work at a gas station so I suppose the concept […]

The funny thing about life is that it doesn’t go as planned. Ever. It’s even funnier when you close your laptop while you are on the phone only to open it again and it looks like it took 18 tabs of acid. I had a few decisions to make on this discovery. I could get […]
I’ve pretty much mastered the art of being an optimist. The glass is always half full, things could be worse, and there’s always beauty even in the ugliest of places.

Writing was something I needed to do. With so many thoughts swirling around my head I need a way to make sense of them all. From 2005-2010 I kept up a series of blogs on Myspace.com. Life got in the way and my writing took a back seat. Until tonight. I read through those very […]
