Blog Update – Good Times
There has most definitely been blog inconsistency over the last couple of weeks and I wish I could explain it.
I think I’ve just been exhausted. I remember a couple of nights where I would get home from work and quickly end up in my bedroom.
I’m sure that loosing my younger brother last month has sucked some of the life out of me. I’m still devastated by it.
And now…
This is me making the adjustment. I have a bunch of tasks every day that I need to perform in order for me to call the day completed. That hasn’t been happening. Writing included. I keep the journal and I write in that everyday but my daily word push has fallen by the wayside since I finished *The 6th Iteration*.
So, today I get back into the solid routines I have created. I will begin the next short story. I will begin to spec out my screenplay which I still have no ideas about other than I want to adapt a short story. *Debauchery in B Minor* may be the one I go with because it is just a fun story.
Sometimes it is difficult to move forward with a tragedy you’ve suffered but moving forward is exactly what we need to do. I have a lot of things I want to do before I leave the world of the living.
I hope all of you do too.

HDWGH – Story 36 – A Little Extra
–From The How Did We Get Here Series–
Now: Dexter Lewis slid the Hershey Bar, lighter, and cigarettes from the plastic bag as Harris began driving away from the convenience store. Harris looked over and asked, “Where’d you get the cigarettes, bro?”
Before: Dexter stood in line behind his friend Harris at the checkout line at the neighborhood convenience store. Dexter was flat broke but his friend Harris had plenty of money. Dexter had repeatedly asked for a small loan so he could buy some essentials but Harris always turned him down. They were friends but Harris had a controlling nature. He didn’t like that Dexter smoked so he had never liked the idea of lending him money just so he could buy some.
When they got to the end of the line, Dexter pulled a few items from the checkout margins including some cigarettes, a lighter, and a few snacks and lumped them in with what Harris had picked up. The trick was to keep Harris occupied long enough so that he wouldn’t see what the lady was putting in the bag. When they got to the car, Dexter would dig out his prizes and Harris would be none the wiser. He had no clue about what the cost of what he bought should be.
WWDC 2021 is Almost Here!
This is the yearly event I look forward to. The event where Apple releases the beta version of the next operating system.
The conference is all about software and in rare circumstances Apple has announced hardware but since this is a software conference, I wouldn’t bet on it.
I’ve tried to stay away from the speculation. I really don’t care what other people think and I just want to be surprised by Apple. The folks that work on these products should be the ones to tell me about them.
I’ll update this post as I find out what is going on.
It’s June!
You know what that means?
No more crappy weather allowed.
From here until, like, October…
I am the king of nothing in particular and I have spoken.

I usually don’t post this one. This particular one caught my attention and just struck me as hilarious.
