A New Adventure
May 4, 2010 at 8:32 PM I visited a carnival four months ago, alone. Had no reason to stop. I was in a car I didn't own. I presume I was just that bored. So I walked around for a while after purchasing a candy apple and some apple flavored drink. I played a few games, including the one where you shoot the clown in the mouth 'til the balloon pops. I won because my opponent was a child—he looked about 10. I gave him the prize, a small dragon stuffed animal. He smiled. I actually wanted it for myself. I would've given it to my son. (Later, I bought him a random gift.)

The Picture That Spoke a Few Thousand Characters
Meaningless notifications from the Linkedin app led me to my girlfriends profile; A beautiful black woman. After 10 seconds of scrolling the news feed, then 20 seconds of adding random people with cool pics, and titles, I see her. I had never seen this picture, and I was filled with a weird anxious feeling. I get like this whenever she posts pictures on Social Media, which is rare. Her popping up on my feed, is like an Easter Egg in a Marvel movie, or actually seeing a unicorn walk down the street. Its always a rare sighting, and I'm always freaked out for some reason. I texted her to tell her how beautiful the picture was, and how I felt seeing it, and then some more compliments; that I hope she enjoyed as well. I closed the apps, and went back to listening to The Book of Five Rings by Miyamoto Musashi on YouTube.

The Lonely Wine Man
The Lonely Wine Man Every so often, he would stare at the three bottles of wine behind the red leather couch in his room. They were placed there out of the sun to keep them cool. He didn’t know much about storing wine, but this was his attempt at keeping them preserved. He peered over the couch to inspect them. Still there. Still wine. The first layer of dust had already begun to form around the necks and golden foil seals. He thought that gave it an aged vintage look. Also, it would show proof that they hadn’t been touched since they were placed there. If even one had been opened, that would prove him to be disloyal.

Failure, Ain't All That Bad
I’m a failure. I won’t ever reach my true potential. This is too difficult. I’ve tried everything! Have you ever spoken any of those phrases? Have you ever thought those words after not being hired for the job of your dreams? Have you ever sat in your car driving home after being dumped by the love of your life?

...The Ones We Love
In 1999, a young man went to visit his friend at work and grab snacks for a movie. The young man, who had just turned 18, was hoping his friend could get off work to go see this new movie titled Fight Club, starring Brad Pitt and Edward Norton. The trailer looked action-packed and interesting enough to give it a shot. The young man went solo. From the intro to the opening scene, we were riding a neuropathic map that leads to a bead of sweat dripping from the lead characters forehead, revealing a handgun placed in his mouth.

Are There Rules to This?
We had had sex multiple times this particular day. No one had knocked on the door to attempt a sale. The neighbors hadn't come to let us know one of our tires had looked a bit flat. Our phones were on silent from the night before, yet neither of us had received a call or a text the entire day anyway.
