    This is really just me having a ramble, so don’t mind me, and apologies in advance. Recently, I felt quite down and out for a multitude of reasons. One was I physically felt like absolute shit. The mere act of breathing felt like a monumental fucking task. This is why I really do not like…

    You know… Far be it from me to assume something would work correctly. So, I was replying to some comments, and I accidentally send one to the spam folder. Ok, fine. No biggie, I’ll just go retrieve it. Now, admittedly, I don’t check my spam folder often, but imagine my surprise when I found about…

    This is my commentary on my selected image for this week’s No Theme Thursday Challenge. I selected this image: I made this image with my grandmother in mind. The cardinal was always her favorite bird. I hope she would like it. My grandmother was there for me and my mother almost literally from day one.…

    1… Damn it, my head feels like it’s on fire. Fuck. Is that my blood? Is this even real? 2… Why are there clouds all around me? Is it raining? What the hell is this? 3… What the hell? I’m hearing voices. Where are you? Shit. This is my blood. 4… “Just stay down, boy.…

    So, I looked up the meaning of my name and according to several sources, it means “handsome”, “gentle”, “kind” and “beloved”. Clearly, my mother drank heavily during pregnancy. 🤣 It’s Irish in origin and derives from the name Caoimhín. From what I also read, in Hindi it is said to mean “comely” and “beloved” In…

    As someone who has been a leader for the past 4-plus years, you’d think I would have a lot to say on this topic, but at the moment I really don’t. I think right now there’s just a part of me that’s cut that portion of my life loose and is happy not to think…

    There are a ton of ways this can be interpreted. Physically, mentally, emotionally, etc. Funny thing is about two months ago, I went on a tear and threw a bunch of stuff out that had been hanging around forever. Finally got sick of it and tossed it. Ironically, about a week before I got fired…

    Now that my needless compulsion to sneak a song reference into most everything has been satisfied, I can move onto the question at hand. How do I communicate online? This one is actually going to be quick and easy. Outside of texting, this blog is pretty much it. When I was working, I was on…

    And, man…Do I so not want to go. Anyone who’s been reading along might know that I signed up for an 8-week course recently, and I am also looking at pursuing an associates degree after that. I’ve been pretty psyched up for it the past week or so, but now that it’s here I really…
