    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.

    The Body of Evidence

    June 24, 2026 /No Comments

    Never Give Up, Never Surrender

    June 23, 2026 /No Comments

    What’s the best advice you’d give to someone younger than you? I’d tell someone younger than me to never give up. Life and people will throw every obstacle in your way. Never surrender. Don’t compromise on your goals. If you want something, it’s up to you to figure out how to get it. There will be some who can help along the way, but you’ve got to carry the load. I wish someone had given me that advice when I was younger and made me believe it.

    Who are you most inspired by? I am always inspired by people who have their shit together. There have been different people at different stages of my life.

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.
