Another weekend evaporated. Saturday, I watched Jo Koy and David A. Arnold on Netflix. I caught Dave Chappelle’s monologue on Saturday Night Live (SNL). Yesterday, I watched “Wakanda Forever.”. I thought it was good and I will probably go see it again. This morning, I left for work very early to drop my daughter off…

Yesterday, the company I work for sent an email about donations for their Holiday Giving Drive through pledges. During lunch, one of the executives conducted a hard sell to get those pledges from employees going to and from lunch. For one hour and fifteen minutes, I stayed hidden at my desk, waiting to use the…

The morning drive to work is indicative of the vibe this week. I am having a hard time mentally dealing with things. My job isn’t getting better, and the ad-hoc assignments that have nothing to do with my role are triggering negative memories and feelings from my previous job. I completed my 90-day probation; it…

Temporary Stay
Our postponement has expired. I was hoping for more time. The morning sky cannot hide the truth. I see the warning buried beneath the horizon, preventing the sun from rising.

My mother-in-law was admitted to the hospital last night for observation. She fell earlier in the day, and the reason for the fall was heart-related. This morning, I learned that her condition is improving. On my drive to work, I missed my freeway exchange; I think I was daydreaming. This has happened before and I…

Yesterday, low-key stress caused some anxiety due to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. This morning, all of my routes to work were either closed or reduced lanes due to road work. I felt claustrophobic. Moments are happening like eggs hitting a wall. I’m having second thoughts about “Van Life” as far as being…

Another weekend vanished. Friday night I did a reaction video involving Bray Wyatt’s promo. Someone accused me of laughing but I wasn’t laughing because the promo wasn’t what I expected. I don’t think the person watched the video. I spent time drawing and sketching over the weekend. I had a lot on my mind and…

Two weeks away from the Autumnal Equinox, the first day of Autumn. Everything starts to age and whither. I’m ready for the year to end; maybe one year, I’ll stop saying that. I’m putting my “future” plans on hold for the moment. I am starting to downsize and get rid of things with no value.…

It’s been 45-days since leaving my last job for this one and 30-days since my start date. Nothing has changed. I have to ride this out for a while. This week, my father-in-law had his second hip replacement surgery, and we are seeing the further progression of my mother-in-law’s Alzheimer’s disease. I hate to admit…

It is weird not having Sammy around, especially this morning as we had our daily routine. The events of my life over the past eighteen months have shown that I need to stop living by the standards of others. Death will show up without an appointment.

I’ve been given excuses, unpleasant surprises and contradictions. The money is not worth what I’m feeling right now.

It’s been a cloudy, gloomy, and rainy week—unexpected news into the weekend. Today, the sun is shining, and the vibe is peaceful. I hope that’s a good sign.

I often wonder whether honesty is the best policy. Being true to myself is an arduous and questionable journey.

Vibe
I exist in a place of confusion; perspiration has the scent of chaos. My father visits my dreams, but he doesn’t recognize me. The ebb and flow of warnings erode the existence of time.
