This morning, I thought to myself that I don’t want to live a long time. I just want the time to count. I want the time — however much I get — to be important, significant. “I want the things I do to survive me” I’ve said it before. It means that I want my…

I don’t want my hometown of New Castle, Alabama to have a “BG” — a Before Gentrification — period. I don’t know how to save it from the inevitable. I’d buy every abandoned lot today if I could. I don’t know how to get my old neighbors and friends to get on board with coming…

I need a grill so I can cook bacon with it. The oven broil is continuing to let me down.

My parent’s house has a closet inside the bathroom. Today, I thought about why home bathrooms don’t have closets anymore. It’s a genius idea. You can have your bath towels and stockpiles of hygiene items without them getting steamed up. Also, you don’t have to go outside if the bathroom if you need them. It’s…
