Hello everybody. Thought I would drop by and say I’m still kicking. Life has just been hectic lately. From work, Bills, growing a YouTube channel… blogging has been on the back burner.

I’m presently sitting in the customer waiting area of an auto dealership waiting for a part replacement and oil change. I am finding more and more I hate sitting around strangers.

I’m overwhelmed
I was not prepared for taking care of an elderly parent. I guess no one really is. However, I find the support systems for doing so seem non existent or hidden away.

Sometimes I think people use career as a way to escape life. Just don’t do it. If you were … Continue reading When you realize you are more than your job.
270 days
Monday marked 270 days since I last had a cigarette. I remember when I started. I felt for sure I would break down and start up working a week or two. There have been a lot of things going in the past several months that I’m not sure I can write about in a public … Continue reading 270 days
