About this time of year I get a little antsy. The rush of the city and the daily grind of work start to really get to me. I start searching for places to escape to. Somewhere away from the mundane, p...
Bus, dripping, Determination He dreaded this time of day. The final bell rang. He liked to think of it another screaming reminder of how pitiful and lonely his life really was. Climbing aboard yellow...
I’m a writer, right? Right. So, in an effort to start exercising my writing muscles, I’ve decided to actually post a bit of creative scribbling. This is Writing in Circles after all. To s...
So I wrote about my affection for depressing television shows and/or movies awhile back. And, needless to say I’m still drawn to downright dreary programing. I’m not alone in my obsession...

So I’m a TV junky. There is nothing like kickin back on the couch and soaking up some mind numbing boob toob action. It may soften your brain like a soft banana, but what can I say, I like ban...
