Solitude Dude
One benefit to getting older, at least for me, is that solitude is more celebrated. Maybe that’s not accurate, it just seems that way to me. I don’t think I’m alone in loving solitude. I absolutely thrive in it. I grow in it. I make better decisions in it. I’m at peace in it. Living a life of solitude is a choice. I choose solitude over being around people. I choose solitude over a relationship.…
New Story Acceptance
My first story in forever was just accepted by the wonderful Ellipsis Zine. ICE will be published on August 17. And no, it’s not the ICE you may be thinking of. I don’t do political writing. I’ll give you a hint, and this will not be a surprise if you have read my stuff before. It’s a sad story lol. A huge think you to Steve for accepting my story.
Apparition
This will be a short post. The subject is ghosting. Not the kind of ghosting you do when someone disrespects you. Or if someone is toxic or negative. That type of ghosting is perfectly acceptable in my opinion. I’ve done it many times. I believe in protecting your peace with vigor. But that’s not the ghosting I’m referring to. I’m talking about ghosting someone who did absolutely nothing wrong. I…
Things I've Learned Over The Years: A List
1- Depression isn’t permanent. It can be conquered with therapy, medication and changing how you think. It doesn’t happen overnight. It’s a process, one you must fully commit to and put the work in that is required. But you can beat it. Don’t give up. Hope is a beautiful thing. 2- Genuinely kind people emit a light and energy that draws you to them. Kind people are the best people. 3- Don’t let…
We Are Not The Same
Something I’ve really struggled with lately is cutting people out of my life who either don’t align with my current life or I see them as toxic. It’s difficult to let go of people I’ve known for decades. It’s not something I enjoy. It’s not something I feel good about. I put a lot of thought into the decision to block them or cut them out. It basically comes down to if they disturb my peace or…
Completely Random Stuff In My Head: A List
1- I don’t enjoy going on dates. I barely do it anymore. People bore me. My standards are too high. It is what it is. 2- Related to #1. I’m not lonely. I enjoy being alone. I thrive in solitude. I don’t need someone to feel whole. 3- I love making tacos at home. Either with ground beef or seafood. I also make quesadillas. I eat both multiple times per week. 4- I rarely feel emotions anymore.…
The Art Of Being Weak
I’ve been thinking about my last post, the one about a woman I cared about like 10 years ago. The more I think about it the more I feel weak and pathetic. We haven’t spoken in 10 years and I write a long post about her. Absolutely pathetic. I’ve made a ton of strides in my life over the years, but apparently not with her. People always eventually show you who they are. She hasn’t reached out to…
Falling Short
I’m a firm believer that true love only comes along once in your lifetime. The kind of love that changes a man. The kind of love that hits you directly in the soul. The kind of love that makes you realize you will do absolutely anything to be with this person. The kind of love that never dies. The kind of love that will haunt you the rest of your life. I felt that love for someone like 10 years…

Emerging From The Kingdom Of The Night
I feel amazing. Something I never thought I’d type or say. I’ve never felt this damn good. Didn’t even think it was possible. But something I’ve learned over the years is that nothing is permanent. Absolutely nothing. Major depression is not permanent. Darkness isn’t permanent. Love, of course, isn’t permanent. Nor is heartache. But I’ll save the love stuff for another post. This one is solely…
Story Acceptance
I woke up this morning to an acceptance for my crime flash fiction WASP NEST. A huge thank you to editors at CLOSE TO THE BONE for giving my story the perfect home. It will be published in October, a long wait, but I don’t mind. I’m just excited and grateful This is my first story in a very long time. I needed a break. I feel recharged now. Hopefully, more stories will follow. I decided to…
On Writing
I thought I’d write a blog post because I’m not writing stories. This will just be some random shit in my head. I’m starting to miss writing. That’s a good sign because I thought I was done with it. I have accomplished all my goals. I’ve been published over 130 times. I’ve been nominated for Best Small Fictions, Best of the Net, and the Pushcart Prize. The 3 most prestigious awards for short…

Down Payment For A Car
I totaled my car back in September. I haven’t driven since then. I’m on Disability. Before the wreck, I Doordashed every day. I miss that income. My disability check only goes so far. I can’t save anything. I’m just trying to raise money for a down payment on a car. Any amount would help. https://www.gofundme.com/f/5xrmq5-down-payment-for-a-car

Tunes
I haven’t posted a music blog in forever. I need music the way I need validation from others. And coffee. And cigarettes. I listen to music every day, always searching for a song that makes me feel something. That I can relate to in some way. Or to make think of someone. Lots of reasons. I’ve even thought about writing songs instead of stories, which inspired this post. The songs below are the…

Are You Happy?
The first thing I always ask a woman when I meet her on a dating site or wherever is are you happy? A simple question. Yes or no. But they never answer with a yes or no. It usually starts off with well… and then, basically, I’m content. Or it’s complicated. Is it? This morning I finally asked myself that very question. Am I you happy? Well… it’s complicated. I can’t say yes or no. Do I feel…
