I was never one to keep a diary or journal growing up. Even though I thoroughly enjoy writing down my thoughts and ideas, I have never been all that excited to put them down immediately as they occur. Part of this may be due to sheer laziness, but I honestly believe it is because of … Continue reading The Irrelevant Journal

In order for any of this blog to make sense, I must first delve into my early years and what must have went horribly wrong to drive me to where I am today; that of course being me sitting here in the library of the Junior College I attend using their computer lab to start … Continue reading A Foundation Of Lies (Part 1)
