Warning: Dogmatic and Preachy. And Honest. And some may find the conclusion filled with bullshit. This isn’t for them. It’s for you. Let me tell you a story about a girl who has fallen down seven times and gotten up eight. I mean she’s probably not returning to upright without a torn pant leg or … Continue reading This Way, I think
Time To Take Off (yeah, it’s a metaphysical, etc., metaphor)
So I did what every weary traveler who’s happy to be back home after ten hours of airplane travel does: I look up plane crashes and turbulence videos on Youtube for approximately two full hours while downing a glass of stale wine and thanking higher powers to still be alive.

If I did have children they would probably do it for the simple price of a candy … Continue reading The Truth Wasn’t So Heavy
