Me, You, and Everyone We Know

A Good Date to Die On

“Honeyyyyyyy! You awaaake? Foooood’s readyyy!” Eyes open, staring at the ceiling, Matt ignored his mother’s call. He wasn’t sleepy, but he also didn’t want to get up. This was it. The first day of spring. The day had finally arrived, and he couldn’t believe it. For a moment he squeezed…

dxe1=Q#

It always seems impossible until it’s done. This quote may or may not be accurately attributed to Nelson Mandela. But regardless of who said it first, the sentiment is true all the same. For a species so quick to pat itself on the back for its unbounded imagination, we sure…

I received an email from work on Thursday, March 12th, 2020. It was to notify all faculty that due to the rising number of cases of the novel coronavirus, the college campus will remain closed and all classes will be suspended for two weeks. Two weeks! I mean, yea, okay…

Get on the Wagon

Sports fans. We need to talk. But first, I’d like to set the record straight about myself: I am a sports fan (not to be mistaken with athlete, which is its own animal), and have been for as long as I can remember. My earliest memories of fandom are from…

One-way tickets

“The idea is to remain in a state of constant departure, while always arriving.” — Richard Linklater April 19th, 2007 Suddenly, it just came to me. The idea, that is. There was absolutely no premeditation. I don’t know how else to describe it. One minute I’m sitting there, tense and…

#61: How do you know quality when you see it?

We’ve already covered this. I suppose it’s inevitable that some questions will overlap and be paraphrases of each other, so there you go.
