• Friends part 2

    I’ve discovered some of my friends have a knack for calling right when I need to talk. Thanks again to my pirate friend for calling at the most opportune time, even though there was a brass band that drove you to the phone I’m still happy to have heard from you!

  • One cannot have religion without humor…

    The Pope arrives in heaven, where St. Peter awaits him. St. Peter asks the Pope who he is. The Pope: I am the Pope. St. Peter: Who? There’s no such name in my book. The Pope: I’m the representative of God on Earth. St. Peter: Does God have a representative? He didn’t tell me… The…

  • I’d rather be right than nice.

    Throughout my life, I’ve been called many things, and not all of them have been flattering. One of my favorite nicknames used to be “Little Hitler,” with “Napoleon” coming in as a close second. However, when an angry individual mentioned they used to call me “Cartman,” I couldn’t help but feel a bit offended. Then,…

  • People, Friends and others…

I’ve accepted an offer from North…

  • New Apartment!

    I’m finally almost done moving into my new place in the Fremont neighborhood of Seattle! It’s just the right mix of close to the markets I love and far enough from the city to be peaceful. But let me tell you, getting here was quite the journey. First off, let’s talk about the state of…

  • Adult…

    Being an adult—or at least old enough to pass for one—comes with its fair share of questions, doesn’t it? One of the big ones for me lately has been, “Why do I drink so much?” Well, let’s break it down. Currently, I find myself imbibing more than usual because, well, I’m back living with my…

  • Because I’m in a sharing mood

  • Happy Easter

  • Home again…

    In less than 18 hours, I’ll be boarding a jet plane, bidding adieu to the land Down Under… for now. Australia has truly captured my heart, and leaving feels like saying goodbye to a friend I’ve just met but already adore. It’s bittersweet, this departure, but I’m also eager to return home to Seattle, to…
