with or without me, the wheels keep spinning the hands keep turning the globe continues rotating I’m just here for the ride. stuck in this physical limbo between life and death, patiently waiting my turn to expire and enter the next stage whatever that may be. my grasp on reality loses its grip occasionally.

Now what?

If you want to be a grocer, or a general, or a politician, or a judge, you will invariably become it; that is your punishment. If you never know what you want to be, if you live what some might call the dynamic life but what I will call the artistic life, if each day […]

Existential Messiness: The Blog.

Hey, everybody. It’s certainly been a while. Around 6 months, the longest time between blogs, ever.
