I must have been around 10 years old. My dad and mom had been divorced since before I could remember. My dad had custody of us. My mom petitioned for custody of us. Dad came home one day and asked who I wanted to live with. I said my mom but I was terrified because…

People have a misconception. It’s not good to recycle everything. Paper/lumber companies plant more trees than they take down. It’s good business practice. Gotta refill your stock and anticipate for growth in demand. Simple business shit. Recycling paper products does more harm than good. We’re not running out of trees. But the recycling process releases…

I was born overboard off a sinking ship during a hurricane and I’ve spent all my life trying to swim to shore.

Had a dream last night my dog was sniffing and nipping at my nuts. I kept pushing her away then I realized she was acting like a cancer sniffing dog. I looked at my nuts and I saw a tumor on my balls the size of a baseball. I woke up thinking “wtf was that”…

There are ppl who look up locals when they come to visit. Mostly just to see local sights and to “hook up”. I met a few like that. One girl, her name was crystal. She was a 6’4” tall black girl. Much taller than me. We were walking down the strip and a few black…

When I was a kid, I guess I talked too much. Teachers used to punish me for talking and my dad would make me stay in my room except for the bathroom or dinner. I’d even talk about me feelings. It wasn’t until I was 19 and I was dating a girl and one day…

I rarely tell anyone this. Frankly I don’t know why I’m putting it out in the public. I’ve suffered from clinical depression since a kid. I remember when I was 5 years old, hearing a train and wishing I was in front of it so it’d run me over. I’ve attempted suicide twice. Once an…
