Tantrums

Some of my most profound realizations have come in the quiet moments that lie outside of tales of adventure and chaos. Reflecting on my current life and it’s winding path at the time of each writing, these posts tend to follow a more rant-like structure, though some were intended to serve simply as status updates. While some of these topics may resonate with cords in your own tale, many will not. Enjoy these for what they are: a window into my own soul.

    Real Work

    I want to work. I want to fucking work. I want to work. I really want to work. I don’t want to drink alcohol, I don’t want to eat sugar, I don’t wanna waste my time on movies, games, or the internet. I want to work.
