Another World
Life without music? The idea that music would be gone from my life is a bizarre one. If perhaps I went deaf I could still read it and feel it. I could probably still have some experience of music even if I were blind as well. But today’s prompt isn’t anout if I went deaf…

Holidays
Holidays? Between autism and poverty our nuclear family lost virtually all sense of tradition. We get candy for Halloween and sometimes even try to pass it out. But we don’t do church services on Christian holidays or parades on patriotic ones. My wife sent out Christmas cards last year I think. But I had to…

Meatloaf (not really)
Epic Cooking Fail In my early twenties I lived in a house with six other guys. We rarely had anything that could be considered a meal. We were broke and hungry most of the time. I splurged and got a pound of hamburger. I wanted to do something special with it. I remembered or more…

Awesome
What’s your favorite word? “Everything is awesome! Everything is cool when you’re part of a team!” – Lego Movie So life is going pretty well for me. It’s not awesome all the time. But it’s awesome enough of the time that I want to share it. I am also not always awesome but I’m awesome…

The Brain
What are you doing this evening? The same thing I do every night… try to take over the world. But seriously I don’t have any plans out of the ordinary. Laundry, diapers, social media, and video games. I hope to do some art and I’ll probably make another general post here before the night is…

Just Talk
Red Flag The biggest red flag to me is a person who talks big or promises a lot but then doesn’t follow through. I had a manager that would consistently over commit. He had a great personality otherwise, but his mouth wrote a lot of checks that his butt couldn’t cash. He has been gone…
