The difference between listening to a video and listening to music is staggering. Perhaps not great for my health, but my media intake is pretty steady, and I do a lot of it while I am mid other tasks. It’s the only way I could keep up with all the media that I like and that I need to see as a professional critic (among many other internet jobs I have) but, recently, I have been getting into some intensely mentally active activities.

Poem: Have You Considered?
Have you considered that everything might be okay?
That it’s not going to fall apart,
That you could,
Maybe,
If you’re lucky,
Live the life you wanted to have,
And live it joyfully? Continue reading
I Want To Do More
It’s not that I am not productive and active and such in my life. Not as though I fail to have meaningful contributions. I’d like to think I lead an existence that’s not particularly slothful—but my own ability to do as much as I would want in any given day bugs me to no end.
For instance, sure, you know of the one book I’ve written—I’d hope—but I’ve actually written somewhere in the ballpark of 20-25 novels/novellas in just two years’ time. But my editing skills and my speed at it are so slow, and I can’t seem to get a good schedule going, that there’s only one book you know about right now. Continue reading

Sorry About That
Hey everyone. Sorry about a missed post on Wednesday. Things got really, really busy on me and I didn’t have time to make a proper post. I wrote this on Friday, at like 4am my time, but I’m backdating it to Wednesday. I’m getting a post up for Saturday as usual and hopefully, there won’t be any more hiccups until I take my Christmas hiatus that I do every year. Continue reading

We all know,
The little hum in our skin,
Then weirdness of failed blood flow, Continue reading

Poem: Half-Nap
Half-nap,
Sleep slap,
Down for the count,
But it’s a short count,
Sweaty sides,
Sweaty mind,
Slushed and rebooting. Continue reading

Poem: Internet Is Down
When the internet is down,
We can’t connect,
To the infinite information,
The swirling of the net,
The cobwebs of our brains,
Blasted free digitally, Continue reading
Poem: Loading Screen
Can you stand,
Watching that tiny circle spin?
Does it not fill your head,
With crackling? Continue reading
The Law of Inconvenient Timing
Over time, I’ve noticed that the universe seems to follow a few oddly consistent rules. Stuff that’s just ironic and weird and silly. Now, a lot of this is certainly just a coincidence, but it’s still something fun I wanted to explore. Ever notice how it never seems to rain on the day that you explicitly plan to have an umbrella on your person? Yeah, this is going to be one of those.
And today’s law of the universe is the “Law of Inconvenient Timing.” Continue reading

Poem: Sleepy Girlfriend
Opposites her and I,
When it comes to getting shut-eye,
I can’t seem to drift,
Off to sleep, Continue reading
