Sometimes I find myself wondering if anyone out there who reads this series asks: “What does The Writer’s Mind even mean?” Well the shortest answer is here. Which is just me explaining what it actually means.
But the title “The Writer’s Mind” leaves one to assume that either-
A. I’m pretentious as fuck since I didn’t call it A Writer’s Mind;Read More »
Have you ever experienced: Sonder? This is the term coined by John Koenig as someone you may meet in your life, if only for a moment, that you may never see again. You become this small blip in their lives, such as a person passing by them in their car, or a background character you fixate on behind the person with which you are conversing as you formulate your thoughts in a café.
Here’s the official definition:Read More »
It’s 10:38 PM on Thursday, August 20th, 2015: My day off.
I just got back from the gym at work. I listened to LCD Soundsystem’s “Home” there and back. I wore a gray shirt, grey undershirt, my gray Nike sneakers, and grey shorts. Four shades of grey for what seems to be a metaphor in a movie scene. This moment in my life, this past year has been a grey area. I’m in stasis; in the middle of something scary, and something big.
Yes, I’m writing a “sort of” update on my DLMChallenge via my “The Writer’s Mind” series. Now you may be asking yourself, “why not make another DLMChallenge update?”

It’s been weird as of late. My perception of events has been skewed towards the negative. I find myself constantly daydreaming like usual, but the outcomes are always sad or fall into the macabre. It’s as if my life is one big joke; “This bad thing happens, bad luck here, bad luck there etc.

It’s been a secret keyword for all of The Guttersnipes videos ever since I’d posted the very first one. It’s also my first mention on the podcast Game Scoop! (here’s the story) in which I told my Knockin Boots tale that led to that phrase.

I walk to work every day. Naturally, on days that might call for rain, I bring my umbrella along for the ride. Some days however, I forget it on the top of the lockers. Not during the obvious rainstorms, mind you, just when it appears nice outside. Well, recently during a spotty rainstorm, I forgot my umbrella at work.
When one walks through the journey of life, there will always be risks and dangers around every corner. And in my case, I can’t help but fall into a mental wormhole of… well, falling.
