My son is starting to talk. This is no surprise, as this is generally something humans do as they grow up. It is a normal part of speech. But, as a lover of language, this provides an interesting look into the process of learning a language. I haven't spent a ton of time around children, … Continue reading For the Love of Language
How has mental illness affected me personally?

To read my past post on my fight with Depression, please see #IWishMyFriendsKnew. HOW HAS MENTAL ILLNESS AFFECTED YOU PERSONALLY? WHAT … Continue reading How has mental illness affected me personally?
It’s the little things, man…
I have a problem; I enjoy podcasts. That in and of itself is not so much a problem, but the fact that I keep finding new ones and having to listen to back episodes, which puts my behind on newer episodes of my older podcasts. Which means that right now, I have so many un-listened … Continue reading It’s the little things, man…
A Universe of Ideas
Ideas are a tenuous thing. Sometimes they rush forward like a waterfall, crashing and colliding, changing shape and form until they are barely recognizable. Other times, they trickle like a muddy pond, stagnant and green. This last week has been one of those times. My last post took a lot out of me. I worked … Continue reading A Universe of Ideas

I wanted to make a quick note, and say thank you. Thank you to everyone that had a supportive comment. Everyone that shared my story. Everyone that shared a story. So many stories.

#IWishMyFriendsKnew
I have argued with myself about writing this post for a long time. I have worried that my friends would treat me different, look at me different. See it as a cry for help, rather than a stand against this lie. I worried that it wouldn't be well received, proving it all true. I worried … Continue reading #IWishMyFriendsKnew
This is why I drink coffee.
How my day has gone: 12:03am - Bed. 12:06am - Police helicopter begins circling. 12:07am - Turn on Friends reruns. 12:34am - Police helicopter finally decides to go bother someone else. Back to sleep 1:07am - Awoken by cries of toddler in extreme duress. Or just doesn't want to sleep in his crib. 1:11am - … Continue reading This is why I drink coffee.
The Open Internet
Hello Everyone. Tonight, a little something that is not a short story. Tonight, I wanted to post something that is a little more important. Our government has a Commission whose sole function is to regulate the communications industry. That department of the Executive Branch is called the FCC, the Federal Communications Commission, and is headed … Continue reading The Open Internet
Tonight at 11….
It started off innocently enough: just getting a little, let's call it creative, with a small story. Maybe I sprinkled a couple of "facts" in with the story. No one double checks our network. Hell, we are at the bottom of the ratings every night. Well, were at the bottom. See, my boss walked in one … Continue reading Tonight at 11….
Challenge Extended
"Hello." That's how He started our first conversation. It seems innocent enough, but I would soon learn, it was anything but innocent. "We don't really know each other, but that's ok. I'm sure we are going to become very good friends. There's nothing else to do on this rock." I shook my head and looked … Continue reading Challenge Extended
