    My Own Private Avocado

    June 30, 2026 /No Comments

    Music Roulette 8 ~ What’s the Frequency, Spotify

    June 28, 2026 /No Comments

Listening to certain songs will take us back in time to specific developmental periods in our lives, like timestamps in our personal history. I completely agree. Certain songs mean certain things. And certain songs evoke specific emotions. Music is a powerful tool, certainly not the “blunt tool” that Hannibal Lecter accuses Clarice of using on him at their first meeting in The Silence of the Lambs. Time to dissect with another round of music roulette.

    Close Encounters of the Worst Kind

    June 26, 2026 /No Comments

    A group outing I didn't sign up for, a woman I didn't click with, and a comment about my pendant that sealed the verdict. At this point, I'd rather stay home.

Writing about the random ass shit going on in my life since 2007. I pull no punches and use salty language. Read at your own risk.
