What’s At Stake

Just came back from a birthday thing my friend had. It was a lot of fun and I was able to not drink much, something I’ve never been good at. I’m beginning to think that the events of February 8th have had a lasting effect on me. That day was a Wednesday. I’d been feeling [...]

The Art of Procrastination

Naturally, this is the obligatory first post. It’s over a month late in fact. Let’s go back a little bit. In early July the lovely Keeshia gave me a domain with WordPress installed. I decided to make an offer because I thought it was high time I start doing the things I liked to do [...]
