So much life!

I’m having a hard time finding balance in my life, but I’m taking steps to improve this. While I’ve been living in the suburbs for the last couple of years, I’ve found myself artistically stifled. Looking back at my site, I didn’t realize how long it had been since I’ve posted. I’m ditching the burbsContinue reading “So much life!”

A new year and a year in review…

I know I’ve written about this before, but I’m still so surprised by how much where I live feeds, and squelches, my creativity. While I don’t make resolutions, I am going to make a significantly greater effort in the new year, despite living in the boring suburbs, to live more creatively. I’m going to pickContinue reading “A new year and a year in review…”

Wet Whet Thursday

Our local Metal Museum does a monthly happy hour with music, beverages, and a food truck. Tonight was a luau to end the summer. With hurricane Gordon working its way through the southern states, we’ve been watching the radars closely. We had a backup plan if the rain hit earlier in the day, but whenContinue reading “Wet Whet Thursday”

The stories this place could tell…

I was just on my way to the botanic garden and made a wrong turn. I found some creepy old abandoned apartment. It looks like it may have been at school at one point. I have enough sense to not stick around creepy places like this in Memphis, but I’d love to get some folksContinue reading “The stories this place could tell…”

the language we speak…

This morning is the first day I’ve woken up feeling moderately human. I actually woke at 7:12am saying is it monday? is it monday? OMG I’m going to be late. As it turns out, it is sunday; but when you’ve been off work for a week, trapped at home, and hopped up on drugs, youContinue reading “the language we speak…”

Dear Memphis Drivers

I want you to know one thing. You SUCK! You think that’s it’s normal to cut across three lanes to make a right turn. I’m fairly certain you have no idea your vehicle comes equipped with blinkers. Everyday I get on the road with you, I fear for my life. The first three months IContinue reading “Dear Memphis Drivers”

settling in

I may never move again… Unless it’s to New Orleans, DC, or a tropical beach paradise. I’ve had such a hard time getting involved in anything outside of work and meeting folks. The last time I moved to a new city I had just graduated college and had a few friends in the same town.Continue reading “settling in”

I’m on a roller coaster

I’ve started half a dozen posts. Each one tells a different story and has a different emotional bent. My emotions and thoughts about this move have changed every 15 minutes. One minute I’m sobbing uncontrollably, the next I’m laughing, and the next I’m bored. I’ve been ready for a change for awhile and I knowContinue reading “I’m on a roller coaster”
