I Want to Be Great!
This post was written 8 years ago while in a different job and a much different place with my wife and kids. It rings truest today. I have a real problem that may be the root of all those enumerated on this “emo blog” of mine. I want to be great! I do not want to be the best husband in the world,...

...And 9 Years Ago
Just nine years ago, I was floundering in my last year in a job that wasn’t headed anywhere. An acquaintance who profoundly influenced my twenties and traveled a path through mental health with me from afar had died a year before. My on-going battle with depression, which I was just beginning to...

Ah Man, I Ate a Bowl of Ramen, Amen!
Recently, I had this feeling of dismay when I woke up each day for the period of a few weeks. It was startling and clearly depressing. The idea of "waking down" struck me as we confront "Woke" culture and as I dealt with the negativity I felt just waking up. I tried to play with words throughout...

We cannot comprehend the truth that our lives are but series of these infinitesimal fragments strung...

Social Distancing
Whenever I’m troubled, stressed, or can’t sleep, I search my mind for a phrase and chronicle from there my thoughts using stream of consciousness. I don’t edit it or censor any thoughts. I just pick some images in my mind and try to let them speak for me. For several months, I’ve been haunted by...

Karmic Kamikaze
What the hell is a “karmic kamikaze?” To be honest, I tried a million other names when I started a Blogger account 15 years ago. Finally, I decided to think of two words that I really love that sounded cool and that no one else would have likely used. Since then, I have used the two words in some...
