I want to preface this with a warning. I don’t write about my dreams about my mother often because I don’t want to make my dad sad. So now he’s warned. On to the dream.
I’m at work, and taking a break or leaving, but it is still daylight. I’ve been avoiding this.
I walk down a [...]

I don’t believe in hell. But I think if I were to write a short story on hell, it would be set in a Wal-Mart full of people.

I’m still learning things about my adopted state and city. I still like it here, but it’s far from perfect.
Selling the state: Anyone who tells you California is always sunny is a liar. First, it’s a huge state with many types of terrain and factors.

I have a long-standing rule: never buy anything resulting from watching a TV infomercial. Not even if it sounds like it will save the world, put an end to poverty and get Doctor Who widely shown in America.
I won’t deny that I’m occasionally tempted by items sold by an overly enthusiastic person trying to [...]
