Think of your favorite pair of shoes. The ones that you adored because they appealed to your senses, or served a utility function. They might have been tough to break in, or felt perfect immediately. The shine might have been lustrous at the start, but dulled with time. The color was likely vivid at first, […]

The Field
Often, life is treated like strolling through a never-ending field of rolling hills, green grasses, and beautiful blooming flowers. The wind blows over the field, swaying the grasses with its whispers and shouts. The hills crest far above heads, and the pits and valleys are deep bowls below us. The flowers bloom full, colorful, and fragrant, […]
BBA Coffee Stout Flavor Battle
Ahhhh, coffee. That rich, roasty, liquid that one can smell from afar. The invigorating smell of coffee perks one up with just a whiff. The taste of coffee is a little bitter, kind of acidic, a bit earthy, and maybe, with some hints of nuttiness, or some even have fruity notes. Regardless of the flavor […]
The Erosion of Time
Do you remember photo albums? Do you remember the true photo albums, and not the 10101010 holding spot associated with your “library” on your computer? Do you recall the plasticine pages that stuck to each other, smelling of a weird amalgamate of chemicals, needing to be surgically peeled from one another to advance the memories? […]
The Statue
Paris took a very regular route to and from the tower. With little deviation he passed the vendors, and houses, and people, and carts, and barrels, and open windows to meals, and closed ones to arguments. His daily travel to and from his source of income shifted and twisted very little. A left here at […]
Appreciation
I’d walk through the desert for you, to bend space and time its true, and yeah, that’s nice. I’d climb up the mountain for us, to construct buildings and such, cause yep, that’s ok. Id forge it all from steel, the structures so real, and the towers blasé. I’d make them from sand, all of those […]
A Day in Columbia
When did you go to South America? Was it hot there? Where the jungles dense, and thick? Did you randomly stumble upon any coffee plantations? No, discerning reader, not that Columbia. Though, given the opportunity, I would certainly travel to the country of Columbia. I am referring to a day spent with a fellow adventurer in […]
Dogfish Head. The World Wide Leader in Stouts.
Yes, I know, this phrase probably sounds incredibly familiar. It doesn’t? I would guess then, reader, that you are not likely to be a sports fan. I admit that I am slightly borrowing the title from ESPN’s signature phrase, “ESPN: The Worldwide Leader in Sports.” But, I am also recognizing the power of such a […]
Pulling Down the Night
I sensed that you needed a gesture, a sign, an effort. You needed a motion, a massive, magnanimous movement, that all the little ones couldn’t provide. You needed a sweeping, soaring, sizable display, to make your heart swoon. It had to be considerate, calculable, and colossal in scope. So I struggled, and strived, and stretched myself […]
Whiskey, Disappointment, Death.
Everyday I look at the outcomes, Each day I’m scanning the scene. I’m longing and searching and wishing for some kind of meaning. Everyday I desire an outlook, Each day want the serene. I’m begging and pleading, and yearning for everything to not be obscene. Everyday I yearn for a vista, A place to see […]
