We call different things noodles: An adolescent kid’s under-developed arms. The human head. Brains. Top Ramen. I grew up eating bowls of them chocked full of God-knows-what. Osoba and Yakisoba were staples growing up in Japan and when I say God-knew-what, only he (or she) knew what found their ways into our bowls. Seriously. VariouslyContinue reading “Noodles”

Suicide is NOT Painless
Keeping with my tradition of posting a song on Mondays, here is my rendition of Jim Croce’s I Have to Say I Love You in a Song. O.K. Suicide. Crazy subject right? If you have read at least one of my previous 170 published posts, you know that there are things that go through myContinue reading “Suicide is NOT Painless”
Crying
I am a crybaby. I admit it. It’s hard to refute when you are sitting there watching a sad movie and the waterworks begin. Since it is part of me, I’ve never cared to downplay it. I’m not embarrassed by it; it’s just who I am. I used to tell my friends I would kickContinue reading “Crying”

I’m one of those people who others want to cuddle up to in bed because I am better than an electric blanket. I am also one of the people thatContinue reading “Keeping Warm”

There are so many movies depicting different ways the planet will be destroyed, and it seems like as many movies as there are, so are the different demises depicted. Flood, hurricanes,Continue reading “The End”
I Died Twice
No joke. In a previous writing I detail my birthday accident where I was struck and thrown in the air by a truck whose driver did not see me sprinting after one of my party guests who had taken my hat. I had to be resuscitated by the EMT’s, but I was briefly gone. IContinue reading “I Died Twice”
