Inay turns 102 years old!
My grandmother turns 102 years old today. Unfortunately, she suffers through dementia and is barely present in the mind. I am at least thankful she isn’t out getting punched in the face by white supremacists running rampant on the streets. A 75 year old Asian woman was attacked yesterday in San Francisco. She was able…

Vast
Sometimes my dreams would come alive and swallow me whole. At those times I don’t know what to do with myself. Fear is overwhelming. Consciousness is overwhelming. Wakefulness is a nightmare.

Winter Break Road Tripper
So we are road tripping right now and just stopped by the Salton Sea. It was smelly enough to invoke puking sounds as I sunk my shoes deep into disgusting smelling sand,, and for a moment panicked by the unstable ground beneath me quickening like quicksand. My shoes are covered with grime and stink, but…

Man Child Rant
My oldest son, age twenty, is learning to drive. I hope it’s not a mistake having him out there on the road when he can barely function on his feet. He dropped out of all his classes for the third semester in a row. For the whole two years he has started at the community…
