  • I lost my Uncle Rick on Saturday. My mother’s little brother. My cousin Luverne called to tell me he passed that morning found by one of his nurses. My Granma called shortly after. Aunt Pat, Uncle Sam, now Uncle Rick – I don’t want to miss out on the chance to hug anyone else. I…

  • Someone jacked my quarters from inside the CRV. Photo: How I found the car. Pretty damn bold of them. My car is about 12 paces from my bedroom window on the first floor. They left the Oakley’s tho – literally pulled them out of the ceiling compartment and left them on the driver’s seat. Which…

  • A creative career path after the military is hard. I press forward with my ideas for two reasons: future me full of questions and the two children watching my life.

  • I made a lot of headway on Voices.com today. No, I haven’t booked a gig yet, but I talked with my account manager today. For 45 minutes, we walked through every section of my profile and demos to optimize the details. In the end, I had info on demo creating and labeling, best descriptors of…

  • Today was an action-packed day. And by action-packed, I mean information-packed. I sat in on two weekly live video chats with course instructors for two different courses I’m enrolled. Each Thursday, Pat Flynn hosts a Zoom call for his students and Brad Hussey hosts a Youtube Live call for his students. On this particular day,…

  • Podcasting Blogger is the news right now. It’s about 40% of what I think about working on right now. I’m a little tripped up with where to start. But I know that I want to get out information on how to began recording. That’s probably the most important thing to anyone who doesn’t already have…

  • I appreciated holidays when I had a full-time, government job. But now I appreciate when everyone else is at work, so I can get things done. I’m completely aware that this post makes me sound like a terrible person. Understood. Loud and clear. You will not get an argument from me. I am a selfish…

  • I played a lot of Words with Friends today. Definitely dodging being constructive. A cool Netflix documentary about the failed Fyre Festival. I was completely glued to it. There was something spectacular about watching something so big fail so much. I think part of the appeal was watching the created of it be delusional. That…

  • Don’t remember much of today. I do remember the part where my doctor won’t be writing a letter to validate my disabilities for self-employment election in the VR&E Program. That hurts. His reasons make sense. Just doesn’t help me move forward. I’ll have go to go each Doctor that has treated me for each of…

  • It was a face paced day. Actually felt like a Monday. I’ve met my VR&E counselor. I got a lot more information than I thought that I knew already. I see why they give you counselors. There’s 1000 documents surrounding VA programs like these, and you really don’t know what the important ones are. It…

  • Today was definitely a Tuesday. The theme this morning was get medical stuff together for the meeting with the Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor on Monday. Still a little nervous about it. Shouldn’t have read so many horror stories. It appears that your service-connected disabilities have to prevent you from getting a job similar to what you…

  • There was definitely work done today. I have to say it out loud to sorta believe it. I got my mobile landing page fixed. Turns out there’s a meta property that needs to be in the same meta tag as the view scale. It’s “shrink-to-fit=no”. I’m convinced someone reading this needed to know that. Today,…
