Casual rambles, short stories and poetry done casually
So this it, my first official short story. I originally wrote this in 2019 in my journal while listening to This Is Happening with my roommate. Shortly after writing, I actually bought a typewriter. So this is probably more like a memoir. I’ve got like 5 other stories like this, all on A4 Paper, written […]
What is left to say on the quality of The Dark Side of the Moon? It’s one of the greatest albums of all time? The magnum opus of the Pink Floyd discography? The most sublime production job of Alan Parsons’ career? The measuring stick for every sound buff’s next stereo system? The perfect accompaniment to […]
This was written on March 13th, around about midnight, after the Bill Schonely memorial. It was a late addendum to an already busy writing day, but one which needed to be written lest the memory of the Schonely not be fully laid to rest. He means a great deal to more than just my own […]
I quit my job on February 28th. These are my thoughts on that.
Alright, so this is a weird one. Normally when I ramble about something, I generally refrain from a structure to allow for a more free-flowing prosaic quality to shine through. And that does happen here, eventually, as the Blazers are one of those subjects that render my already effusive self to become even more effusive…-er […]
I didn’t watch the All-Star Game, and you couldn’t pay me to watch it. The players clearly don’t care about making it a competitive game, so why should I care about watching? The only exception to this rule felt like Damian Lillard, however, who showed up big in both the All-Star Game and the 3-Point […]
I guess I just write these randomly now? I dunno. Depression is weird. Well, I was going to write another Blazers thing after an impromptu invite to watch the Blazers take on the Denver Nuggets. Anfernee Simons busting that bunker with six three-point shots in a torrid third quarter just felt like too good a […]
Damian Lillard is back.
And for roughly two games, it’s not just been him who has sealed the deal.
Felt cute, might sportswriter later. Can’t say this will be a regular thing, but it did help me breakout of a seeming writer’s block, and sometimes that’s all you need. Chauncey Billups just Tyronn Lue’d us. Well, it might be too early to tell that, but for most, a sigh of relief was heard around […]
I am writing this a week out after Pickathon 2022. I probably should have written impressions sooner, but this is the first chance I’ve had to really sit and think and reminisce on the music I saw and the memories I made and the people I met. Here on the beach, with Chromatic, listening to […]
