my thoughts and … thoughts

2020 is a hellscape, and by god, I am going to keep the fun spirit of Halloween alive, if for no other reason than to keep my sanity. And I can’t think of a better way to honor this season by watching a playthrough of a game that I would never play, even if it…

Last year, I sent out a bat signal on Facebook and Twitter, asking people what horror films I should watch as a complete newbie and certified giant chicken. I got a few responses, which led me to now one of my favorite movies, Train to Busan, further had me falling in love with Gong Yoo,…

I didn’t realize how emotional about this I would be until I sat in a chair in my living room, staring at my computer and thinking, “I’m actually doing this.” Like … it shouldn’t be a big deal. I just read a chapter, listened to a single, ten-minute module lecture (with PowerPoint for reference), introduced…

And I don’t mean this in a metaphorical sense. I legitimately don’t know how to breathe apparently. During my latest appointment with the NP that diagnosed my asthma, I was complaining about how deep breathing was still difficult for me, and I wondered aloud if I needed a different inhaler that might … I don’t…

January 20, 2007, is a day that will live in infamy. Why, do you ask? Well, because that is the day that I decided it would be a great idea to ride my brand new Harley-Davidson Sportster 883L down to Murfreesboro to 1) see some good friends of mine that I hadn’t seen since graduation…

First off, this is a terrible movie, and I legit loved every second of its insanity. It’s also listed among a bunch of equally terrible-looking horror movies on Amazon Prime that I am definitely going to have to watch at some point, and for this, I am thankful. Second, the above poster’s dinosaur looks nothing…

The past few weeks have been a whirlwind. Like … you have no idea. First, I thought I was gonna be starting school in the Spring but then I found out that I could start this fall. So I got enrolled in College Algebra because it was a prereq for MTSU’s nursing school. Freaked out…

A few years ago, I attended a free writers’ workshop that was hosted at the Tim Faulkner gallery, a local art spot in Louisville, and I can’t say that I was expecting anything. I had arrived too late to speak to any publishers or printers like I had wanted to – work kept me from…

On July 15, 2019, I lost Zola, my English bulldog. She lived for eleven years and five months, with only the first two or three months of that where she wasn’t in my life. She was literally my best friend, from the moment I took her little wiggly ass home with me. She comforted me…

I’ve been playing with the idea of going back to school for years. I can’t even count the number of times I’ve made social media posts about it, and even though at the time (all of them) I was 100% behind my decision, things just never manifested, either due to outside forces – money being…
