Tokyo Ever After – DNF at 64%
Man, this is my first dropped book since January. I do not know if I am impressed or just disappointed that my streak is over lol. To begin, there was a bit too much cussing and crude comments in my opinion, with several f-bombs included. It also felt like this book was trying a bit…

Interesting Local Custom (DP#246)
One of the more interesting customs I have lived around while being in Fort Wort, is seated in its rich Western culture. The cattle drive that occurs down in the Stockyards twice daily, was one of the more wilder things I saw as a child. I remember when the whole second grade went on a…

Favorite Concert (DP#244)
Back in 2018 or 2019, Kolton and I went to a Jon Bellion concert in Irving. It was a part of his Glory Sound Prep tour. While I hate the fact I have no clear pictures of it, it was hands down the best concert. During his rendition of Blu, he was wearing the uniform…

Super Power! (DP#242)
One superpower I wish I had would be the ability to transfer emotions through my writing. This concept was in the book The Otherwhere Post by Emily J. Taylor. Basically, the writer could ‘charm’ their letter to have a specific effect on whoever reads it. For example, you could instill certain spells that would calm…

Potentially Haunted Grandparent’s House? (DP#241)
Speaking of unsolved mysteries in my lifetime, my Papa and Nana’s house was always a bit on the creepy side. It is important to note that this house was very small, like two bed and one bathroom early 1900’s small. The foundation was extremely messed up so the floor would creak and pop with every…

Eternal Moment (DP#240)
Its not really a singular moment, but the time Kolton and I hung out in this spa in Manitou Springs, Colorado is a night I wish I could at least revisit whenever I wanted. The spa was in this multi-floor building so it overlooked all the other buildings in the town. Because it was later…

Do I Vote? (DP#239)
When it comes to voting in local and national elections, my history has waned over the years. I remember when I first turned 21, having the ability to vote was always one of the biggest ‘perks’ of this age. In my opinion, that over excitement causes so many young people to jump into the political…
