Right now it's supporting my wife's new business but I build models, tinker with multicade arcade cabinets and pinball machine, collecting replica watches, creating the perfect Plex server, a little home automation, building/improving house, amateur bike racing once upon a time, collecting bourbon and cigars, that's about it.

I cherish the times I get to watch my kids play sports or anything else they do, but the schedule just have us spread thin right now. Just a busy season.

Reading is FUNdmental to me. Go back and forth. Get tired of the filler in books (F&NF). Then, I'll stumble on something good and start up again. I cheat and read ahead a little to see if they get better. Is napping a hobby?

I got out of the habit of reading too in my late 20s or early 30s but I've gotten back into always having something I'm currently reading. It helps that 99% of television is absolute shite too


I still consume constantly. History, nature, literature, mythology. I just don’t read words from a book.
God i miss that feeling though, getting lost in a novel, painting all those pictures in my head.

I suppose I write more than anything now.

It’s an obsession. I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I munch on a morsel of a moment and it just comes out. And why do I rhyme so much!? It’s a disease. Sometimes I wish I was normal. Boring. Not this mess of a man that I am. I wrote a damn ode to biscuits the other night!

I get really depressed sometimes. That everything i do and write is utterly pointless. Drivel, palp and pablum.

I feel worthless and meaningless and just a damn idiot. But then…luckily I have love to chase away the dark and twisties, demons that plague my mind. They lie. I don’t listen to them. And I just keep going, keep writing, keep singing.

I don’t know why I’m this way

arcade cabinets


Always wanted to build one with an OG XBOX and MAME. Also, build one of those DIY video game race car setups.

I remember when my kids were younger, my son was on the sixth grade “senior” football team while my daughter cheered for the 1-2 grade “freshman” team. I coached my son in football while my wife coached our daughter in cheer.

All games were on Saturday starting at 10 AM with the freshmen game. We had to be there by 9:30. My son’s senior game was the last, after the freshmen, sophomores, and juniors. The games always went a little long so if I remember right, his games usually kicked off around 2:00 and lasted until about 4:00. We'd be at the stadium literally day.

Our boys were at different schools and seemed to always be playing at the same time on opposite sides of town

Wow. What did y’all do? Go the divide and conquer route? I can’t imagine having to juggle that sort of schedule.

I don’t understand why the words pop into my addled brain. Burning, churning, turning like wheels, great gears, cogs in this mad machine that is me, a macabre madman’s mind. But it seems that things just like to flow. There is an order to my madness. I’m just not always certain what it is. I don’t seek it out but poetry finds ME in Everything . I’ll muse over crumpled up pieces of trash.

A strange bird I am.

I believe Wednesday night was the only time we didn’t have anything going on. Other than that we’re homework at 10 o’clock every night during the week.

Wait, are there really people who can just like hit a pause button on their brain? Is that a real thing? I don’t think I’ve ever had a moment where I wasn’t thinking something or another.
