Slide/Sky

I don't think the sky could figure out what shade it wanted to wear today. It seems hesitantly content playing host to grey clouds, backlit by a fluorescent sun I can't see, reminding me of the vacant glow of a slide projector lacking an image to beam.

In Search of Summer School

I'll admit it. I'm one of those people who has a tendency to overthink things, argue for and against a point or an objective until I'm purple in the face.

Apocalyptic Optimists

Don't you just hate it when you can't successfully trace the genealogy of a particular quote, one that's been bangin' around inside your head?

In the automotive industry, there's a term that describes the action of veering adrift when encountering uneven surfaces: bump-steer. It seems to describe my life at the minute.

Ratios in a Pop-Up Book

Do you ever wonder how many people are only one job away from perfect, self realization? I do.

Jobless and Inspired

It's official; I'm unemployed. As of yesterday, my gig at Bankrupt Thread Co. is over, as the entire company folds worldwide, country by country fading to black like lights going off in a vast corporate hotel, one-by-one.
