    Where Do I Begin?

    Posted on June 29, 2016January 31, 2019By : B.J.S.

    Is life more like a snow globe or a snow storm? I’d like to think that’s a good way to start a conversation. At least it works that way with my coworkers. See, assuming the Social Security Administrations average retirement age of 67 and the average college graduation age of 21, most of us willContinue Reading “Where Do I Begin?”

    Signs that You’re Becoming Adultier

    Posted on May 22, 2016January 31, 2019By : B.J.S.

    The government seems to waver between defining an adult as an 18 or a 21 year old. I think it’s far more complicated than that. Consider this meme. This is what they mean when they say, “there are levels to this shit.” I’m a novice compared to these marriage licensed, baby pushing, homeowners out here,Continue Reading “Signs that You’re Becoming Adultier”

    Chapter 24

    Posted on May 20, 2016January 31, 2019By : B.J.S.

    There’s this nagging, no good, idiotic part of my brain that wonders if I’m in the same place I was three years ago. Or worse. I look back at this blog and think, “here I go again.” The posts I look back on have the same themes that play back in my head today: findingContinue Reading “Chapter 24”

    Playlists

    Posted on August 18, 2013January 31, 2019By : B.J.S.

    My life is shaded to match the colors of a musical playlist. Often I can remember exactly where I was when I first fell in love with a song. I associate different songs with night rides and others with naked gyrations. I take it everywhere. In my car, in the office, on a run, inContinue Reading “Playlists”

    The Meaning of Life

    Posted on August 14, 2013January 31, 2019By : B.J.S.

    Lately, people have got me thinking about the meaning of life. And already, I think I know what it is. The meaning of life is creating meaning. That’s it. Deepak Chopra taught me to consider each individual a creator of reality. We create our experiences by interpreting reality. We even recreate ourselves every moment.  IContinue Reading “The Meaning of Life”

    Love Note #001

    The moment we first touched, I pictured myself telling our kids about the feeling.

    “Ambition”

    Posted on August 12, 2013January 31, 2019By : B.J.S.

    I keep feeling like people’ve got ambition all wrong. All my ambitious brothers and sisters chase the images and figures they see televised. The glamour, the fans, the money, the businesses bearing their name. Why not chase the mindset of those happy with their success? I aim to be respected, to share my joy, toContinue Reading ““Ambition””

    Posted on July 30, 2013January 31, 2019By : B.J.S.

    Love never was meant to be convenient I knew the timing was bad when I met you But isn’t it always bad timing? Maybe not Cuz now I’m thinkin’ that it all was doomed from the start Curse me n my foolish heart The “anything could happens” turned into urgent replies of “Don’t put yourContinue Reading “Inconvenient”

    Good Guys No Fun?

    Posted on July 22, 2013January 31, 2019By : B.J.S.

    Would you prefer if your significant other was a cheating, lying, asshole, more interested in fronts and booze and tail than treating you with the respect and consideration you deserve? Yeah, they say they love you, but they stay out late, respond to texts rarely, text pictures to random people, and think it’s cute toContinue Reading “Good Guys No Fun?”
