It's possible you've noticed that I've made it a habit of posting to this blog two or three times per day I need you to know that I'm not really creative enough to come up with that many blog posts on a consistent basis. You need to understand that the majority of what I'm posting … Continue reading The Explanation of Blog Posts

Beauty
I like to look up at night. Mostly on those cloudless nights when you can see the universe beyond our own atmosphere. When there's the cover of clouds, it's not quite as much fun to stare upward. There are a lot of times when I'll stand there, pondering the vastness of the universe, and I … Continue reading Beauty
Oracle
I feel the need to give some very careful instructions regarding a classic fortune-telling device known as the Magic 8-Ball. The Magic 8-Ball can be found in a variety of places, usually in the places where toys are sold. Recently, there have been a rash of copycat and novelty 8-Balls, but none can overtake the … Continue reading Oracle
Autumn: A Love Letter
Fall, I am so ready for you. Don't get me wrong, I like summer just fine. There's a lot to like. The days are longer. School's out. A lot of those allergies that spring brought have moved on. School's out. The college town in which I live is devoid of students which opens up a … Continue reading Autumn: A Love Letter
Jeopardy! – The Story of a Weird Dream
Last night was one of those nights when I had a strange dream. This one was clearly influenced by watching Jeopardy! As a cesspool of useless knowledge, I love watching this show. I love trying to outperform the contestants and thoroughly enjoy getting Final Jeopardy! correct, especially if none of the contestants get it right. … Continue reading Jeopardy! – The Story of a Weird Dream

How does the phenomenon of the junk drawer occur? You know you have one. I know you know what I'm talking about. There are so many items that come into people's lives that are entirely unnecessary to own, yet they're so insistent on keeping them. Things like the souvenir shot glasses from the Hard Rock … Continue reading Junk
Bump in the Night
Remember my really awesome apartment that I used to live in back in my North Carolina days? Well, they used to tell me the building was haunted. I'm not exactly sure how many people were included in "they." Really, the only people I'd ever heard these ghost stories from were a woman I once worked … Continue reading Bump in the Night
Comparisons
Why do we bother comparing ourselves to other people? I'm sure you've gotten onto the Facebook and looked up some of those people you went to high school or college with. You've checked out their photos, their relationship statuses, their general information about where they live and what they did last night for dinner. And … Continue reading Comparisons
Tattoo
I don't have a tattoo. I'm pretty sure I'll never get one. That's the sort of foolishness that, if I was gonna participate, I should have done in my 20s. My best chance was probably during my junior year of college. A few of my friends went out and got tattoos. I'm not sure if … Continue reading Tattoo
A Good Cry
I have claimed, repeatedly, that I don't cry. But I feel the need to admit that isn't entirely true.I don't cry a lot, that part is true. But there are times when I am overwhelmed with emotion, which manifests itself in the form of tears. I don't like to cry, though. For me, it's not … Continue reading A Good Cry
