    Oversharing

    Don’t talk about Fight Club.

    OMG, the van is his! I don’t know where it came from, if he bought it or he already had it. But the timing in which it appears matters.

    Two weeks ago Alphonse went to a national gathering of motorcycles out in the middle of the desert with his wife and his brother and his brother’s wife.

    He was gone for a week and I found myself unexpectedly distraught during that time. A couple months ago he went on a cruise with his family and I felt the same way.

  • Cool Heads Prevail

    Cool Heads Prevail

    Alphonse is a doctor. I like doctors.

    The technical challenges of carrying on a relationship with Alphonse are numerous. Like, too many to count. They’re not my challenges, they’re his, and one of them is that his place of business is not a suitable location for shenanigans.

  • Raising My Price

    Raising My Price

    It’s not always about money

    2025 was an incredibly challenging year for me.

    Right out the gate my best friend, Monique, dies of MS. At exactly the same time, things with Jared spin dangerously out of control, forcing me to step away from him temporarily. But we weren’t done, fate had other ideas. I got really sick and then rolled an ankle walking down stairs and became grievously injured. The wizard might be broken and crazy but he’s still a wizard. Aside from that, I promised I would not abandon him. I went back to Jared.

  • Spirits in the Material World

    Spirits in the Material World

    Two weeks ago I had a dream about Alphonse that was not a dream.

    My dogs had woke me up to go outside around 5:15am and I got back to sleep around 5:30.

    It’s likely that Alphonse was already awake at this time.

  • A Few Moments in the Cenozoic Era

    A Few Moments in the Cenozoic Era

    65 million years ago a meteor six miles wide crashed into the Earth. The residents blamed Obama and said that the meteor was part of a conspiracy to support his new world order. Choking on ash and poison gas, most of them died shortly thereafter thus turning the last page of the Mesozoic Era.

  • The Car

    The Car

    An old man sat in his car.

    His feet hurt and there was no one around.

    He used to be my downstairs neighbor but he had shady roommates and things had clearly taken a turn for the worse.

  • Zero Fucks Given: The End of Brangelina

    Zero Fucks Given: The End of Brangelina

    Facebook has a major case of the poo-butt.  Everyone is heartbroken over the demise of Brangelina. 

    It’s the end of an era, like when the dinosaurs died out and you could no longer buy cars with 8-track players in the dash.

    I wonder if they can return all those children? Probably not, but maybe if they still have the receipts.  I mean, it couldn’t hurt to ask. Right?

  • Missing: The King Of Porn

    Missing: The King Of Porn

    I have an obsession and it’s growing like a tumor. It all started with one little thought: I wonder whatever became of the self proclaimed King Of Porn, Samuel Crimson? Upon consulting the Googles I learned that he directed forty films in seven years and then vanished from the Earth four years ago. When I say vanished, that’s what I mean, not dead; there would be news stories of his demise but vanished and no one seems to care. Well now, if there’s a finger guaranteed to fondle my obsession trigger it’s not being able to find out something I want to know. What started as an innocent question is rapidly becoming a compulsive preoccupation. Like digging for lost keys in that duffel bag of a purse I carry around, I will turn this world upside down and shake it until I find what I’m looking for.
