Ten Years On…
Just thinking about 2007 now that we’re ten years on from it. I’m moderately more of an adult now than I was then, but I miss a little bit of my carefree shenanigans and not feeling weighed down by everything.

When it rains…
…it pours. And it actually did rain today, so how appropriate. No real topic for this entry, just a lot of rambling stuff and nonsense, trying to get things out of my head and on paper. Well, the internet, so...
…a lesson to be learned…
“There’s a lesson to be learned here somewhere, but I don’t know what it is.” — Linus Some days, I know exactly how he feels. A lot of moments in our lives can be seen as building and working towards...
Life of Brian: Coat
We recently had another weird temperature surge and then dip, as you get used to with the approach of Spring and it reminded me of the Life of Brian story I’d first thought of to post. It’s silly, not very...
