Hello my name is Patrick. "Oh hello Ma'am!
I've recently started working at a call centre. Up until now it's been surprisingly alright. However that's because I've been doing training for the last five weeks. Today was my first day on the phones. Today, I hated it so bad, I'm not sure I can last. But I'm not a quitter so I'm going to keep trying. If I can't do something, I like to get ( Read more... ) -
Namaste
I started doing ashtanga yoga four months ago. It's been an intense six month practice of six days a week at six in the morning. I've been taken on as a private student as part of my instructor's teachings. I'm by no means "good at yoga" as you can see, but I'm enjoying it and my body has already shown great improvements in both strength and ( Read more... ) -
It was all there
It's been two years and I still don't forgive the police for dropping my case after feigning an investigation. I told you where it happened. You just had to go there. He was there.

No one is changing their sex with the intent to ( Read more... ) -

With only you in mind I spun myself a new web, unlike any that preceded it. This one was for you. I delicately I weaved such a stunning and beautiful design all to catch your eye. ( Read more... ) -
The road to no where is everywhere
Each day is anew, but it is the nights that bring adventure. The night is when we hunt for a place to shower and sleep. Every shower is memorable. Whether it be in the city, sneaking into university gym shower rooms or moldy walled, dead bug encrusted sheds that make me feel like I'm getting dirtier, rather than cleaner; they all stay fresh in my ( Read more... ) -
Roadkill
On the side of the highway I see a number of items strewn about. There's the the usual things like hubcaps and chunks of tire, empty beer cans and milk cartons; there's the roadkill, unfortunate but very common, some so perfectly intact they fool you to believe that they're just sleeping, with eyes wide open. Most roadkill however, looks like ( Read more... )
