Delilah
Delilah It was in the middle of the week, and a semester at college had just just begun. I remember best how bliss it was, partying and taking up study in something that I love. What people don't tell you is that life is simple, live it like the way you love.

Holy Cow Batman!
I thought that by sharing these pictures with all the supportive readers that are on Vocal, I imagined that I could bring a little bit of a smile to everyone's faces after the past terrible year, that the Covid-19 pandemic has dragged us kicking & screaming through.

Fire and Death
It was sometime around 2014-2015. McQueeny Volunteer Fire Department got toned out for a structure fire and I immediately dropped my fork, paid the bill at the restaurant and made my way to my car where my bunker gear sat, ready in my trunk. The young lady I was with was slightly nervous as I recall, I didn't have time to take her home, fire doesn't wait. I sped, we weren't supposed to as we were in Personally Owned Vehicles (POVs) and we had no sirens or lights to ensure it was safe, but I did anyways.

Richer Than I Thought
In my very first article here, I mentioned how I low-key love anything to do with pirates ... like treasure hunts. GO ON A TREASURE HUNT!"Do you have more than one bank account with money sitting in it? You probably have a million unused gift vouchers (which are pretty much like cash). If you have accrued leave entitlements at work, calculate the dollar value of that.Maybe some of your assets have increased in value -- like your house, the value of your jewelry, or random collectibles.Go and collect all the money that is scattered through your car, clothes, home, and work desk. Trust me, you'll find a lot.You might find a whole bunch of expired gift vouchers and pamper certificates (boo!), but you'll learn for next time, gorgeous (and some places will let you redeem them anyway). Remember: this is all abundance that you let go to waste. Is it any wonder that the Universe feels slow to deliver?"

Sports Journalist’s diary: Struggles and Realizations
This is probably the first time I will be venting out towards this kind of topic. But well, I needed this. For the past months, my world as a sports journalist was incomplete. Incomplete in the sense that zero events were present since the COVID-19 pandemic broke out globally.

Timing Is Everything
Nearly 30 years ago, I was born on an Air Force Base in Misawa, Japan. I became the first of four children; as such, I think I can safely say that there were many expectations placed on me. Some of them I placed on myself as I got older. But the one that has eluded me thus far, the one that I want the most, is becoming a published author.
