Be The Future

There is no such thing as "now" or the "present." Everything is either the past or the future. By the time you finish reading this, it is in the past.

Finger Foods

A discussion erupted while ordering lunch today as to whether or not a certain fruit (Watermelon without the rind) was considered a ‘finger food.’ — Which, by the way, it totally is. This discussion, which may have been my fault, and the odd looks on some of the faces has led me down an awkward, humorously twisted path of discovery.

The Eye of My Storm

My mind spins out of control inside my head. It’s nothing new. I’ve dealt with it my whole life. I’m used to the hurricane, the destruction, the epitome of chaos that is my mind. I pluck pieces from the insanity as I need them, pull them forward, and use them to relay information to others while the world spins inside my head.

(It’s a dog’s life) No matter what happens in life, or how goofy, or insanely impractical, our days become, if you have a puppy, s/he is always happy to see you.
