I went to the grocery store last night to gather the usual apocalypse supplies of almond flour, coconut flour, apple cider vinegar, and jalapeno-flavored pork rinds. As one does. What am I making with that stuff? I could be making Keto bread rolls. I could be recreating a type of industrial-strength spackle used by the … More Grocery Shopping In The Apocalypse
Recently my Grandma mailed me my father’s books from Oklahoma. You see, in early January, only two days after my relationship ended, I received the phone call that no one wants to get. On a Thursday, my Grandma called to inform me that my father had died just that morning. Basically it was a … More The Books Of My Father

We’ve all seen those infomercials at 3:43 a.m. Those same infomercials that will offer solutions to problems we never really had, and probably still don’t, like a remote-controlled discrete testicle scratcher, an intercontinental ballistic plunger, or a … More No Magic Potion For Weight Loss

What is a UFO exactly? What is the UFO conspiracy? What kinds of close encounters have folks had with aliens that doesn’t involve … More On UFOs, Close Encounters, and Otters
It seems that this year, 2020, has become like a long game of Apocalypse Jenga. From the beginning of the year, all the way to the present and with each passing month, a new block representing a catastrophic event is pulled from the increasingly teetering tower of the world. In January we may have narrowly … More Apocalypse Jenga

While at my training command in Florida the Navy offered me the chance to become a linguist and attend the military’s language school, the Defense Language Institute, or DLI. I gladly accepted the offer, and returned to California where I would … More Which Rooster Market?
Sometimes when you look at your own life, it can be like that scene in Lord of the Rings where Frodo looks into Galadriel’s mirror. Only instead of seeing your own possible future that may involve an epic quest, a long-bearded wizard in robes, and smoking & drinking with hobbits, you look at your present … More The Self-Reflection Pool
Do you get the feeling that as the days pass during this lockdown, this quarantine and social distancing that we’ve been in, time seems to have sped up? It’s as if each day ends almost as soon as it begins. While staying at home all day, every day, I’ve had plenty of time to workout, … More The Blurring of the Days
