Ok. Ever since I saw Terminator many moons ago, I’ve been afraid of the day when the machines rise up against us humans. It’s coming. Every day, we are an inch closer. However, considering the current state of humanity, I’m not too sure humans should continue in this […]
For weeks now, nothing has been quite right. Nothing had felt like a right fit. Overnight, my life changed a few weeks ago. And, I have gone through numerous permutations of how to get things done. I’ve tried to find many ways to keep things the same. It’s […]
I have not had a lot of time as of late to sit down and write. Work, useless discussions, tears, and feelings of guilt have dominated my time. It’s a merry-go-round of emotions around here lately. And, moments of introspection and reflection book-end my days. It is with […]
