Finger Drumming, and Update

The situation appears very real. I “went to sleep” in LA in 2014 and ended up in Oregon by 2019. Went through a pandemic, civil unrest, an attempted overthrow by a dictator, and I even started a Facebook account. The world had gone mad. Even worse, the landlod of my new place lied when she

Farewell, Domino’s Pizza

INTRODUCTIONGiven the fact that I’ve lost over 30 pounds this year, I still have a scant few bad things on my menu. One of those things is Domino’s Pizza. I usually order a thin crust on the days where we decide to not cook. I initially started ordering online, until I called one time and

How to Become a Loner

INTRODUCTIONHow does one become a loner? Are they born or made? Is it just a case of “stupid kid shit” that they’ll grow out of eventually?

What Marching Band Taught Me About the World

INTRODUCTIONIn 1979, I finally made the transition into high school band. It was something I’d been looking forward to, ever since I transitioned from trumpet to drums in sixth grade.
