The one where the Internet craps out

Where’s today’s post? Well, it’s kinda long, and it’s on my desktop computer, and my modem just crapped out. It’s okay, I should get a new modem by Thursday. Until then, I’ll roam coffee shops for their Internet access on my laptop. Might be good for my writing, I think. Also, it could be good […]

Happy Mother’s Day!

Hey guys, just thought I’d dedicate this day to Mother’s Day. I know how it sometimes sneaks up on us all, but I made sure to be ready this time. What are you doing for Mother’s Day this year? I think something more than just chocolates or flowers or cards should cut it. I’ve got […]

Blackbirds by Chuck Wendig – A Review

Miriam Black is not normal. She has been cursed with the power to see the moment and manner of death of any person she comes into physical contact with. I say curse, because she is unable to control it. It just happens. This curse has driven her to flee a normal life. She’s accepted what […]

Guest Post – HOW TO WRITE BITCHES

Today’s post is written by Delilah S. Dawson, author of Wicked as they Come, and The Mysterious Madam Morpho. If you’re like me, you’re a dude, with dude parts. If you’re not like me, this post is still a good way to find out what goes on in the head of someone completely different than yourself. Being […]

How should a manager behave?

I’m in a position at work where you could safely describe me as a peon. There is nobody below me on the ladder. When anyone in the company shits, it usually falls on me. So I’ve been a bit torn by how the manager of my store talks to me. If he has a problem […]

The Hardest Lesson

Early last week, while I was doing my damndest at work while fighting off whatever horrible disease I’d carried home from traveling, another employee walked off the job. He was in the middle of doing something outside of the store and just left. He was AWOL for the rest of the week. Nobody heard from […]

Starting is the hardest part

Yesterday I had a day off. I decided to use it to write. And like my typical self, I always found something else to distract me from writing. Laundry, grocery shopping, just one more YouTube video. I really wasted a lot of time. I did eventually get going on the writing, and did you know what? […]

Spring

I’ve heard from an endless number of people that they can’t wait for winter to end. I don’t want to hear from the dumbasses out there who say that technically it’s spring now and that winter is over. Shut up. I’m not talking about the orientation of the Earth relative to the Sun. I’m talking […]

The Mistake Store

I work at the Mistake Store. Want to buy candy? Want to buy sugary sodas? How about chips or pizza or hot dogs? We’ve got that. Cheeseburgers fresh out of the microwave! It doesn’t even cross your mind, but you’re now one step closer to heart disease and / or diabeetus. Do you want to […]

Fever

I’m recovering from my illness, so I’m going to say very little today and instead take a nap. My woman and I were doing some traveling out in the Denver area, and we both came home with some kind of sickness. We each had different symptoms, so it probably wasn’t the same thing. I blame […]
