I had a super late night last night and slept in until about 1 PM today. I was at trivia with a few friends. We go to this same bar every Wednesday because my friend is old pals with the MC. My friend who set it up for all of us has it...
After sleeping in this morning, my day has been rather slow. I decided to skip the gym today and just chill with some radio, a cup of coffee, some cinnamon toast, and vibes. I slept in because I had some edibles last night and they were...
I got thrown off a bit this morning after having a good conversation with an acquaintance/reader (hey salty), but after having the conversation and going to the gym, I feel like I had a bunch of things I was thinking about, but need to...
A few things that have happened: first, I decided to buy some ad space on 4chan's /lit/, /mu/, and /g/ boards so if you're coming from there, then hello. I've seen a few other people market their work through 4chan advertisements. I...
I was over at a friend's house last night. He was having a kickback and I had a good time. The booze of choice was the great Dominican Brugal, a wonderfully spiced rum. Rum has always been my favorite liquor because unlike other liquors...
So far, this morning has been relatively normal. I have done my morning routine, had some caffeine, and overall don't feel horrible. But one thing that's been messing with me: nicotine cravings. It has been almost three months since my...
I crashed and burned like crazy yesterday. I think I ended up going to bed at around 6:30 PM or so. I came home from Starbucks and immediately wanted to fall asleep. On the short drive home, I was extremely frustrated at how tired I was....
I woke up this morning feeling rested, thank God, but last night's sleep was horrible. For whatever reason, I have more nightmares than the average person. Typically, the nightmares involve some sort of demonic entity trying to kill me....
I took an extra dose of an as-needed sleeping pill last night with the intention of going to bed early and waking up well-rested. I fell asleep easily, but woke up this morning feeling rather tired. I still feel tired this afternoon, but...
I went over to a friend's house today and played around with his new 3D printer. We mostly perused directories with free design files. But we did get to print a few designs that looked pretty cool. I got to walk away with a few...
I am back at the Starbucks, big chilling and feeling good after trying that new protein foam stuff. I don't shill for Starbucks (or anyone else) but having the extra protein in my little drink helps me with staving off pre-dinner hunger....
We've got a relaxing Sunday morning on our hands. I woke up rather late this morning after a long night and while I did technically wake up with my 8 AM alarm, I absolutely fell back asleep so that I could sleep in. I've been having a...
This is a short story previously posted on the Substack. Enjoy! My eyes snapped open. My head was throbbing as I lay on the ground. Beneath me was coarse grass and soil. My vision was blurry at first, but began to clear as I got my...
I ended up going out last night, which was quite fun. My pals and I hit a few local dives, had some laughs, shot some pool, and had a good time. It definitely depleted my social battery, but it was still fun to deplete it—kind of like...
Last night I had a tough time sleeping and couldn't get to bed until about 4 AM. I still managed to wake up at 8 AM though and I started my day without feeling tired. I managed to workout and all that as well. Then my afternoon slump...
