Born walking forward, Life moving crystalline, Sharp edges, soft curves, No matter where the road goes. Step one, then many more, Some fore, others aft, Always shifting with the wind, Keeping an eye on the clouds. Building, working, forming, Grab the wheel, strike the hammer, Feel the weight, And keep the path. Guiding star above … Continue reading Poem: Born walking forward
New Creative Projects
So I have been mostly working on non-fictional topics on this blog. However, I have been hitting a writer's block with topic ideas. Also, I want to work more on creative projects. So I have created a different category on the blog just for my creative projects. Thus, if you don't want to read them, … Continue reading New Creative Projects
Inner Child vs. Adult Brain
I think that most people have an inner child of some kind. I should clarify that the inner child is the part of you that is impulsive and wants to do silly/ridiculous things. The adult brain is mostly what society, family, and friends have told you about how to be a grownup. Mostly but not … Continue reading Inner Child vs. Adult Brain
Wishing for Cable
I don't have cable. Even when I was in college and got free cable as part of my dorm setup, I rarely watched cable. I may have watched it a handful of times. So now that I am on my own, I see absolutely no point in paying for a service that I don't use. … Continue reading Wishing for Cable
Starting New Projects

I have some other hopes with the dollhouses. I am hoping that if I need something to focus on, that … Continue reading Starting New Projects
Meals on Business Trips
I recently came back from a nearly week long business trip. This trip was to a convention with the company that I work for, as one of the vendors at the convention. What it boils down to, for this post's purpose, is that my lunches were incredibly poor. Now this was not because my business … Continue reading Meals on Business Trips
Ambitions in Learning New Skills
While I usually write about food, sometimes I enjoy writing about other topics. For example, this one is going to be about the ambitions involved in endeavoring to learn new skills, more specifically sewing. I am hoping to learn new skills in sewing within the next couple of months. I really would like to learn … Continue reading Ambitions in Learning New Skills
Check Your Produce
This past weekend has reminded me of an important practice to do when you are shopping in the grocery store, especially in summer. You should always try to check your produce before you leave the store. I mean to check for mold and nasty spots. This is especially true for berries. I had to throw … Continue reading Check Your Produce
Theoretical vs Reality Cooking
Let's be honest. Some food ideas sound amazing in theory but just aren't the greatest in practice. This is similar but not quite the same as my pancake failure. In that case, I was following a recipe created by someone else and not me throwing things together (for a recap, see Buying vs. Making Your … Continue reading Theoretical vs Reality Cooking
One Food for the Rest of Your Life
One of the most common theoretical life questions that I know of, in regards to food at least, is "If you could eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be". Basically, people are trying to figure out what food you like the best, to the point you think that you … Continue reading One Food for the Rest of Your Life
