  • Print. Your. Pictures

    If you’re like me you have a phone that probably has thousands of pictures. From random snaps out and about to composed shots that you absolutely love. How often do you look at them? For me, I rarely ever go back and scroll through them. In my last post I mentioned that I’d moved to…

  • A Quick One

    I sold the house I’d been in for almost 20 years and moved into a pretty great apartment closer to the people/places/things I care about and I really couldn’t be happier! I’ve not felt this light for a very, very long time and I felt compelled to sit down and write this on my new…

  • How Do You Remember?

    I find myself realizing a lot lately that I am in the midst of “The Good Ole Days”. It finally feels like those moments that I’ve wanted for so long, the hanging out with friends around a campfire, the close intimate dinners and conversations with a partner are finally happening for me! How do I…

  • Things and Such

    It has been far longer than I anticipated since my last post. I have stayed busy with Life and everything that comes with it. I’m on vacation for a few days and fully intended to write a few posts here about the Life I’m living now along with a few projects I’ve been working on.…

  • Blocked

    I’ve gone quiet here. Because I don’t know what to say. My brain reels trying to take in everything that’s happening in my life, in the world and turn it into something, anything. And I can’t. I’m angry, I’m sad, I’m frustrated and all the other bad feelings that I can’t think of right now.…

  • On Life: As it is now

    It’s been a while since I’ve felt the need to post anything here. I’ve had ideas come to mind but they’ve been fleeting. I used to only feel the need to write when things were bad or difficult and lately things have been very good! I want to bring balance to my writing and so…

  • The Power of Words

    I’ve written about getting seriously into poetry earlier this year and it all started with a book by Iain S. Thomas called Everything You Cannot Say. I randomly picked up this book at a new local bookstore called Blackbird Coffee and Books and before I knew it I was over halfway through it and had…

  • Rough Month

    May isn’t my favorite month. Between Mother’s Day, mom’s birthday and then dad’s birthday a few days later I tend to withdraw and kind of shutdown, or that’s what I’ve done the last 2 years. This year is different though. The sadness is still there but I’ve learned to acknowledge it and to sit with…

  • Mother’s Day

    This will be the 2nd Mother’s Day since mom died. She wasn’t the biggest fan of the holiday, or so she said, but the few times I forgot I could tell it affected her. From then on I did my best to at least get her a card and/or a plant even when I wasn’t…

  • On Being Emotional

    I’m an emotional guy and I was a very emotional child because I didn’t know how to handle my emotions and the adults around me growing up didn’t always know how to handle me feeling things. So I turned off my emotions and kept them off for a very long time. This impacted every relationship…
