When I got home from work last night, I was overcome with a foreign amount of energy. It could have something to do with the fact that I arrived to a piece of mail from the city and was convinced I’d been given a ticket for running a red light or something. Turns out it…
Cars and Cats
Yeah, it’s Saturday. We’ve established that my posting is out of whack this week. I’ve been waiting for enough life to happen to trigger writing. It’s been two-and-a-half(ish) days of waiting and I’m ready to go. Let’s do it: Not completely sure what’s going on with my new friend. I think I messed it up…
Flint Town
Before I get going, I’d just like to say thanks to everyone who reached out to me to tell me to run from the dude with the ditching problem. It’s funny– a couple people asked me if that actually happened, and I guess I should reiterate that everything I write in this blog is as…
Times Are-A-Changin’
I graduated from high school in 2011. While I was in school, there were still buttons on our phones, and Instagram didn’t exist. It wasn’t long ago; but man, the world seems so changed. While I was in school, we only had a lockdown drill once every other year, and they were only in high…

On Being Crazy
Last week was a bit rough. Like most humans, sometimes I make mistakes. Unfortunately when I make them, I have a tough time forgiving myself. So, I ended my week of road bumps inside of myself, drowning in my thoughts, and convincing myself that I am crazy. I like to joke about my “craziness” to…
Who Runs the World
Beyoncé has been singing about it since 2011, and it looks like she was onto something. Since early October, women have been flooding the world with their #metoo stories. I was hesitant, at first, because the cynic in me understood that the probability of these stories making change was low. So, I wrote the following…
