Yes, I know this is not a typical post- but I have a lot of sides to me ranging from a deeply insightful and creative individual to a very basic consumerist. I encourage you to embrace all your sides!

Dear Friend, It’s been a hot minute, hasn’t it? Someone reminded me of you earlier and I thought I would reach out. Our friendship did end somewhat abruptly. Why was that? We met when we were 10 years old. I was a new student, entering the 5th grade, and understandably very shy. The teacher sat…

But first, we need to finish two thousand nineteen. Doesn’t it give you the chills? We’re only 19 years into the the 21st century – we’re such babies! In less than a year we will be in the 20s again. Just like some people back in 1919 thought, and in 1819, and in 1719, and…

Reading is not for everyone. In fact, I think my Dad has read one novel in his life. He may argue he’s read more, but that’s if you count Arnold Schwarzenegger’s workout guides. Hey, I wasn’t always a reader either. Up until the second grade, I think most of my teachers didn’t think I could…

This story is not about being a hero, but it’s the truth. A couple years ago, I tried catching up with “The Walking Dead”. I was just finishing up season 3 when I decided to spend the weekend at my Dad’s. His little secluded house is in a town called Beach Park where, despite its…
