Death to 2020. (blog post)

Halfway through this year, I started writing out this post, all the way back in June I was thinking about how I felt about this year, and everything that had happened up until that point. Since that point so much more has happened I feel like another whole year has passed, and yet it still feels like no time at all. Halloween came and went, Thanksgiving passed like a ship in the night, and to be honest despite it being December 30th at the time of writing, I still feel like I’m waiting for Christmas. 2020 for all its downs and further downs has been a year like no other, and for better or worse the world is a different place now than it was back in January, in dramatic fashion. For better or for worse, I am a different person than I was back in January.

Paralyzer. (Blog Post)

I have a very specific memory for the strangest and most irrelevant things. I can still remember almost the entirety of Click, written and directed by Adam Sandler (Of Uncut Gems fame) and I can play out the entire film almost shot for shot in my head. I can also remember almost every StateFarm commercial ever made, and make references to the bulldog from that CapIt commercial where they’re refinishing the bed of a truck. One of these incredibly specific memories is the first time I watched the music video to Finger Eleven’s song Paralyzer on MTV when I was 10 years old.

Broken Habits. (Blog Post)

When I originally started writing this it was about habits, because at the time it was something I felt held value for me and I’d been very good about keeping myself on schedule doing the things I needed to do. I would tidy up before I played games, go on a walk every day, make my bed in the morning, I ate healthy (healthier), and felt like I was putting myself on an upwards trajectory. I felt positive about myself and hopeful about my future for the first time in a long while. Of course I wouldn’t be writing about this if I’d managed to stay on course.
