Writing My Struggle

I never really consider writing my struggle. I usually spend my day trying to come up with a juicy morsel for my lovely readers–that’s you–to sink their teeth/dentures into. Something insightful and humorous that will leave a positive mark on your day. And, if I catch the word train… upon your life, as well. But…

Be a Weirdo

  I’ve been struggling lately. That whole “what am I doing with my life” thing that rears its head not infrequently. Am I being realistic? As I put more years under my belt, my perspective has become life is too short to be engaged in stuff that isn’t part of my path. So, just a…

My Cabin Steward is a Shaman

It’s the little things. Always the little things. I’m been traveling on a ship that has traveled from Germany to Africa and which is now headed to the Caribbean, and I haven’t had to make my bed. Not once. Each morning, I leave my cabin (usually in a semi-wreck state) and when I return later in the…

Defy Entropy

  I am out of control. There you go. Admitting it is always the hardest part. Lately, it’s like I’ve been possessed by some kind of lust demon. I know what you’re thinking. Alex… we know this. It’s like like I’m 13 again, and my cells have been hijacked by nano-robots with one and only one directive: to get me laid….
