Darkest Days
It seems the bitterest of ironies that things could be so bleak and stressful as spring is starting to return. With the sunshine and warm air drawing us out and tempting us to go for a drive, to go out with friends, and to remind ourselves that there’s life outside of our homes.

The Great Change
We are in historic times. We hear that a lot, but truly, it has never been more true than now. We are in historic times. We live during a time where we have watched social, political, and ecological changes on massive scales and we are part of all of it. For good or ill, our… Continue reading The Great Change

How Dare You! We… Continue reading Make It Yours
Through
When I was a kid I had a handful of things I wanted to do. I wanted to do the things that I thought would be fun and make my life happy. It doesn’t mean I COULD do those things, but I wanted to. The ceiling started pushing down on me though in 9th grade… Continue reading Through
Inspirations, Aspirations, and The Big Dumb But
When I was a kid, I wanted to be a cartoonist. I am sure that in the annals of this nonsensical blog I have talked about that to some degree. I loved drawing, all over the place, but I really loved drawing weird faces. The problem there was that I didn’t draw bodies, or scenes,… Continue reading Inspirations, Aspirations, and The Big Dumb But
