I’ve always believed that there’s much to the world that most people never see, and that if you look closely and openly the answers to life’s questions are usually right there waiting for you to discover them.

Resolutions
When I was growing up, every year on my birthday for as long as I can remember, I would get a call from my uncle asking me if I felt different being a year older.

Treasures

Grandma was unimpressed with the wares, but part of that had to do with the fact she was… Continue reading Treasures

A tease…
“You are a seriously fucked up individual,” Tyler could hear Mark’s voice as he opened the door of the apartment. “Seriously. I worry about you sometimes, especially when you come up with stuff like this.” “Oh, like you haven’t come up with stuff twice as bad,” Penny was laughing from somewhere down the hall. Tyler… Continue reading A tease…
