Nevermind, Anyway...

  Hey Fam,  Sorry for the delay in posting! I had an awful headache Sunday and Monday, and try as I might, everything I wrote ended up being a long winded argument about why I should be allowed to buy the 15’ tall Home Depot Skeleton.  I also created an Instagram account for the blog, @nevermind_anyway_blog , so follow it and make me happy! So this past Friday I had a movie night with my lady Kristina, who loves three things in this world: Movies, TV, and the man and two cats that live in her house.  During our movie date we watched the 2000 classic no one saw or heard about, Cherry Falls, and it was a beautiful trainwreck of satire and awful storytelling that has been haunting me.  Fam, I need to talk about this movie. It’s starring Brittany Murphy as Jody and that guy who played Hicks in Alien as the sheriff/her creepy-ass dad. Yes, I’m starting this off at 100 because whatever their relationship is supposed to be on screen, s’not coming across quite right. A...

Yeah, I did spend way too much time Googing bras and writing down words to use in the title of this post. Don’t judge me! Judge me if you must, just don’t look at my search history. NEVER LOOK AT A WRITER’S SEARCH HISTORY. Moving on! Hey Fam,  Today’s topic is one that I’ve always wanted to write about, but it is a difficult one to bring up. I’ve spent a decent amount of time thinking about this one as it is relevant to me in many ways, and thus I will be exploring this from my own perspective and doing my best to do so fairly to both sides. As with everything I do here, it is an open-ended conversation and I do my best to be honest. We are exploring this topic together and perhaps it will be helpful and we both walk away the better for it.  This is a hard one to write, and a hard one to read for aspiring writers, artists, business owners, etc. It’s a harsh reality that I learned over the years, and this honestly is not meant to call anyone out who knows me personally. It is l...

I want to be a mushroom.  That is to say, I want to walk into the woods, fall down face first into the moss, and sink. Sink under the spongy green of the forest floor, then allow a constellation of mushrooms to explode from my soul, a rainbow of all the emotions that I feel too much of. It’s always too much, isn’t it? I am somehow always too much, and never enough. Ugh.  People will walk by and hear the pop pop pop of my fungal...
