Random Thoughts
Piano
I don't have many regrets. In fact, I'm one of those who often likes to say that living with regrets is a waste. Because it's not as if you can go back and change something that's already happened. But I've come to realize that I do have some regrets. One, for certain. I wish I'd … Continue reading Piano
Can You Teach Me to Read?
No, not literally... I know how to read. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to write if I couldn't read... right? But maybe I never actually learned how to read. Maybe I just memorized what a bunch of words look like. I do like to read. No... I think it's fair to say I … Continue reading Can You Teach Me to Read?
Don’t Panic
I remember the days of actually having to insert a key into the lock in a car door. In fact, up until 2011, when I bought a Toyota Yaris, I'd never experienced the magic of remote keyless entry. Not that I was amazed by this thing that was new to me. It's not as if … Continue reading Don’t Panic
The 2010s: A Decade in Review
Today is the last day of 2019 and, therefore, the last day of the 2010s. What can we say about the decade that was? I'll be honest... 2010 doesn't feel like it was 10 years ago. Though, I suppose the older I get, the faster time seems to go by. I'll be 40 years old … Continue reading The 2010s: A Decade in Review
My Blogging Journey
Not too long ago, I wrote a post about meeting a friend I've known through blogging for the first time. And I don't just mean meeting this particular person for the first time. I mean meeting someone I've only known through blogging for the first time. Ever. In that post, I mentioned how I'd made … Continue reading My Blogging Journey
Movie Nights
Back in my Bluefield College days, specifically during my sophomore year, my roommates and I played host to a weekly movie night. Typically, these would happen sometime on Wednesday evenings, after the Baptist Student Union's weekly Bible study/worship time that we called GAP (Growth And Praise). Looking back, I'm not sure how these movie nights … Continue reading Movie Nights
It Started with a Skunk
All right... if I'm being 100% honest, it didn't start with a skunk. The skunk comes in closer to the middle. Maybe the end. I'm not sure how detailed I'm gonna get with this. Anyway, sorry about the click bait. This story actually begins with the beginning of fall. No, not that weird day in … Continue reading It Started with a Skunk
Send in the Clowns
Kids… You know how Facebook has made it so you can buy and sell things to and from other people who are also on Facebook? Well, late last week, I came across an ad from a local seller that I found both terrifying and a little entertaining. This was the picture that greeted my eyes … Continue reading Send in the Clowns
When Bloggers Meet
I've been blogging off and on (mostly on) since 2005. No, it hasn't all been here on The Confusing Middle or hosted by the good people at the WordPress. My first decade in the world of blogging involved a blog titled Carp Dime and was hosted over at Blogger. I'm pretty sure Carp Dime is … Continue reading When Bloggers Meet
