Life, ever the difficult beast
So here's where we stand. I'm deathly fearful of an authoritarian gov to be installed, inflicting patriarchal rule over my wife and daughter. Yet my wife's sister is enduring seizures and a seemingly debilitating illness that only me esposa cares enough about to watch her properly. Which leads to increasing likelihood of moving deeper into red ( Read more... ) -
Nostalgia
Okay, full disclosure: middle aged man with a wife and child, rather provincial in upbringing. Lived in the same county of the same country most of my life. I've seen a defunct grocery plaza that had a book store I enjoyed become a Kohl's. The Putt-putt Golf has turned into a mini-plaza of restaurants, effectively erasing the tangible from my ( Read more... ) -
America, this is great?
I'm a cis white male. Leaves the sins of my fathers heavy on my shoulders, my not owning slaves being irrelevant. I sit in a privileged position, which leaves trying to speak on the tragedies going on throughout the country tinged with ignorance of what actual oppression feels like. Countless times minorities have been victimized, but the series of ( Read more... ) -
Unemployed, huh
So, took a stand on principle, and quit my job because they wanted us to come in early at their whim, stay late for similar, and work off the clock when shorthanded, which was more often than not. Dollar G can fellate a fully equipped panzer. Now trying to get unemployment while on a mad application spree. Past ready to give up retail for lawn work ( Read more... ) -
Life . . . don't talk to me about life.
So, let's see. Changed jobs twice since last post. Gotten more acquainted with the trials, tribulations and benefits of marriage. Heartbroken from my lady suffering through a miscarriage(seems I can't do anything right). Found that Facebook fuels my negativity, so trying to keep to Reddit and maybe twitter. Finding that my patience with retail is ( Read more... ) -
Facebook, Oz's curtain
Y'know, you think you have an idea who your co-workers are, and then you friend them on Facebook. Initially, you're thinking you'll find more common interests and can converse at length about things that time usually won't allow for in a work environment. Then the harsh reality settles in, and you feel more like you've kicked over a log, and see ( Read more... ) -
Slipping morals? Srsly?
So. A coworker who is in the "I'm not a Trump supporter, but . . ." camp mentioned how his wife spewed(he agrees,mind) the ol' verbal diarrhetic chestnut about how morals have degraded compared to, presumably, the "good ol' days". The catalyst for this silly conclusion? That a sizable number of (US) Americans suffer STDs(VDs, etc.). I mentioned how ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
So . . . is this what shedding my Pinnochio/Quasimodo persona entails? Life has taken on a new slant, and I'm in completely unfamiliar waters. A lass ten years my junior has taken a rather passionate interest in me, going so far as to claim my manhood as her own, even though she's yet to partake of it beyond a bit of palm action. And somehow my ( Read more... ) -
Fanfiction Alert: Bioshock Infinite/Once Upon a Time.
Fear not, this isn't an actual story, just a premise setting that I would like to write a story around. It would likely go as follows: So a scientist at the labs where Elizabeth is being kept prisoner is saddled with the graveyard shift. He then gets pulled into a tear made by Elizabeth while dreaming. This after she read some fairy tales that had ( Read more... )
