I have lived in a lot of places. That’s an understatement. I am now in my second apartment in the same building I moved in exactly a year ago. It’s been about a month that I have lived in my current apartment. In the past, I was very […]
I have always felt that the Monday blahs weren’t real. A few hit songs about how Mondays are depressing stayed within the public consciousness and took root. Thus, many people hate Mondays. And, yes Sundays and Mondays are supposedly the days of the week people for the most […]
Last night I kept dreaming of the number 43. It kept going on and on in my mind. The 43 boomed and glared. It was vivid. Yet, that was one of my least vivid dreams. Night after night I’ve been having vivid dreams. Wild dreams, bordering on lucid. […]

I recently recalled a tense situation from over five years back. It was a room filled with people who didn’t want to be there and a woman who was gruff and angry spilling her anger over everyone. I remember telling myself repeatedly that the situation would eventually end. […]
Today, is the long-awaited (perhaps dreaded) election day in the United States. And, I am going to share a random story. Seemingly so. I tend to digress much a story about spackle is just right for today. Yes, spackle. That goey thing you use to fill up holes […]
