I've always been a person to expect life's next move. Like the coast shapes the water, the water shapes the coasts. These equal yet opposite forces combine to form the self. I do believe we are, within approximate boundaries, birthed by nature and solidified by nurture, still amorphous and malleable. We draw maps to chart … Continue reading Where Is my ‘Get Out of Jail’ Card Now?
Bring In the Dancing Lobsters!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNMge-3ES-4 The link above is a clip of what I hoped I would encounter in my first ever court appearance. I was the plaintiff, the cops the defendant, and Judge Trudy would understand it was an honest mistake... I guess we cant always have it our way. Sorry I've kept you waiting.

I Could Have DUI-ed
“Hey man. I’ll see you soon alright.” Chilly night and the cement reeked of dried up water. March 11. 2 hours past midnight. Following 3 days of continuous rain, the sky had finally cleared. Literally speaking the storm was over, but just beginning to form was a life storm I had not anticipated. Blurred lines … Continue reading I Could Have DUI-ed
