My uncle Bruce and his girlfriend Alison who hosted Christmas dinner.
This was the first time I’ve ever attended Christmas with my family.
Forever the screwup, I tried to pickup Starbucks Gift Cards for my family on Erev Christmas. It wasn’t that I didn’t know what to get them, but that I was simply too [...] Read more »
An Ode to MacGyver
There I stood, weak and weary, my smile askew, though slightly cheery,
Carefully avoiding all the customers there in the store,
In front of me, it sat their waiting, the challenge very much sedating,
as the scale sat in parts spread across the storeroom floor.
“What the fuck are all these parts sitting on the storeroom [...] Read more »

If we were to meet under different circumstances, would we still act the same way?
Would we lavishly clink our wine glasses by the fireside,
talking of Voltaire and the history of thought?
Would we glare at each other from our respective checkout lines,
each of us jealous of the other for being in the [...] Read more »
“A snorfleglorp? What’s that?” you ask. A strange new word I shall unmask.
It means a lot, a ton or many; sometimes even more than plenty.
In the end, it is the dose of rhyme and meter in this post,

My week has been so full of strange strange things,
from Daylight Savings changes and no sleep

A voice rings out from deep inside my mind;
the void outside is filled with errant thought,
its tendrils looping, dancing intertwined,
creating life in spaces where there’s naught.
I cannot stand the silent emptiness
that blinds my mind from restful solitude.
And so I let it wander and digress
on topics on which average men collude.
The moments which my soul finds [...] Read more »
Regrets are only as powerful as the wishes they supercede.
A regret should be much stronger when wishing away a deed.
And yet our hopeless inaction is what we regret the most,
For what would be more positive than of a deed to boast. Read more »
