What can i say about 2024 so far? Well, there has been a lot of changes for me, and some milestones met, and new passions ignited and some moments of depression, and others of pure joy, happiness, and gratitude. I started off 24 with an outlook of middle of the road enthusiasm. However, January found me completing my manuscript and from that getting interviewed on several pod casts, becoming...

Playing with my MacBook Air
A few years ago I was given a MacBook Air a few years ago and never really did anything with it as it was somewhat outdated and I couldn't upgrade to the latest OS which at the time was Catalina. Well I figured out how to go about installing new OS's onto "outdated" computers with a video I came across...
Cleaning up the last 9 years
Depression and mental health will cause one to do things that are not typical of who you were before they became part of your life. I look back over the years and see where things have changed, and the slight gradual build up to where I am at this very moment.Over the last few days, I with the help of some good friends, have begun excavating the layers of pain, hurt, and mental illness. Each...
It was a day
Today was both a good day and a hard day all in one. The good aspects of it were that I got to spend time with friends, and they helped me with some things that needed to be done around the house. We got to laugh, listen to music, and get some things done that have needed to be done for a long time.The bad aspect of it was that I felt like I was holding them hostage and that it was something...
What IfThe "What
The "What If" game is one of the worse games that one can play with oneself. As I have typed and said many times, I have no clue as to what my future holds. No one really does when it comes to it. However, some at least have an idea as to what they would like for their lives and how they would like things to turn out.I know what I want, and the problem being, is that to obtain those things,...
The plate is getting full
Man, the last few weeks have been tough. I have been an emotional wreck, and just feeling overwhelmed with everything. My upcoming book feels like it is a thousand-pound weight laying atop of me, and really missing my dad, my grandma, and just spending way to much time in the rearview mirror as of late. My sleep has been all over the place, I feel exhausted ALWAYS. My eating has been crappy,...

A broken brush, a story.
How many brushes have you had in your lifetime? Probably not something that you've ever really thought about. This is a story about my brush. It's nothing fancy. Nothing special. In fact, it was a dollar store purchase. Most people would have just replaced it once it became old and broken, not try to...
coffee house musings
Today finds me sitting at a local coffee house that's also an information hub, safe space, mental health facilitating, LGBTQ center. One of my favorite things is people watching. Quietly observing their interactions with each other and people outside of their cliques. Currently there is a peer counseling session going on in one corner of the common space, there's a busy bee worker tending to...
Dreams, and day dreaming
I'm writing this after just waking up from an afternoon nap in which my grandmother appeared to me and said, "your uncle Wayne just passed away" and I responded with "does mom know" and my grandmother faded away. Now I know that the mysteries of dreams have eluded us since the dawn of time. But the...
