It’s Mom’s Birthday and 2020 Still Sucks – More Covers, More Word Vomit – Unboxing a Case of Mystery Beer
It’s my mom’s birthday. She would’ve been 63. And she would have been hating this year. This year fucking sucks. She would have enjoyed yesterday though. Yesterday was a good day. And if she was around, she would be with us. I went with my brother, his wife, and his kids to pick strawberries in…

Deleted Instagram – Depressed From Doing Nothing, Doing Nothing Because Depressed – Purgatory on Earth
I woke up more depressed than I usually am. More than I have been in a year. My heart feels heavy and everything annoys me. Like my own life. I deleted Instagram because I check it every 10 seconds. After all, there is nothing to do. It is probably not healthy to be on that…

This is post 543. That’s a lot of fucking posts. Selling a book is hard yo. I should have done something else that I can sell. Like cookies. People like cookies. Selling cookies is probably easier. Or burgers. Or brewed my own beer. You know… things people buy. People don’t buy books. I just get…
