  • Animals can talk and other future memories

    When I was a child, my aunt Josie had a book made that featured myself and my cousin David. I thought it was so cool, reading about our day of chasing foxes or whatever we were doing in the adventure. A few months ago I thought of that book and then found myself thinking –…

  • Why don’t you look in the mirror, buddy?

    I want to change the subject from all of this marathon talk, for those of you who are sick of hearing me go on and on about it … And today I’ll segway from what I’ve been saying this week – if you believe in yourself, you can do anything – and into a client…

  • No, it’s not because I am a vampire (though I do have pale skin).

    When I graduated college the job market was in a much better place than it is now. I went on 5 job interviews and got 5 job offers. They all were really great offers in their own right but the one job I really wanted, and landed, was a page designer/copy editor job at the daily…

  • I may suck at writing poetry lately …

    But my friends at poetry assignment are rockin it! Please remember to check out their work and give them some comment love. In the meantime and to try to get back into the spirit of things, I have been designing a poetry book of my work, hoping that looking at it will bring back my…
