Skies aren't so blue, though. I'm up in the Catskills, alone for the weekend, to work on my shit. "What shit, Beck?" you ask. Two shits: I'm here to calm down and get some headspace. Without getting into too much detail, I've been on the struggle bus a little lately. Ever depersonalized? It's fucked up.I'm …

Now Things are Just Getting Silly
Still boiling hot. We went to the Catskills last weekend and it was so nice and cool. Be more like the Catskills, Philadelphia. I'm sick of you. Had a shit time at work yesterday. Things were actually okay until about 3pm when I got an email that pissed me off, and then I got more …
The Boiling Summer
I am a vampire. Not really, but I have very fair skin, and I don't like being out in the sun very long. If I were a vampire, I would not be a daywalker. I would not be Blade. I would be the ones in Blade II that have jaws like the predator but wear …
Dry July that was Not Dry
My sister came to visit over July 4 weekend. I drank every day. I don't normally, so it kind of sucked in that I was tired all the time and felt sticky. Don't judge; I'm sensitive. So I decided to go dry for the rest of July. I made it from July 5 to July …
Alt-Right Vegans, Anti-Semitism, Twitter and Ricky Gervais
Warning: not going to talk about writing. This is Deep Thoughts with Beck. So yesterday I witnessed a Twitter implosion. I don't use Twitter very much; I'll go real heavy for a day and then just disappear from it for months. I don't have anything that interesting to say, I guess. My Twitter account is …

Shoveling Snow, Shoveling Bullshit, Shoveling Food in my Face.
So the city of Philadelphia is closed today because of the "winter storm." I have to say that while it is snowing outside, it certainly is not a winter storm. I've been living here for five years, and I'm still confused about why, as a northeastern city, we don't have better snow procedures. I know it's warmer …

Nano-Why-Mo Part II: I Told You So
Welcome to November 18. Remember how I said how bad I am at Nanowrimo? My prediction has come to fruition. I wrote a little bit of a new story on November 1 and since then have done fuck all (British term). I haven't even written here, until today. Currently, I'm in my office. I had …
Long Time, No See. You’ve Changed So Much. Here’s What Happened…
So I haven't written anything in a while; there are several reasons for that. 1) I've actually been traveling and doing stuff, which is weird for me; 2) I have a job, losers; and 3) I'm lazy. So far I've just been rejected across the board, although Pseudopod sent me a personal rejection and told …

I Saw the Void! (The Movie, not the Actual Void)
So Ashley and I went and saw The Void this evening at PhilaMOCA, and it was pretty dope. I made a rambling video discussing my feelings, in which I looked at the camera as seldom as possible, and wouldn't stop turning my chair and engaging in all the tics that make me so annoying. But …

ADHD and Creative Pursuits
There are some things I'm really bad at. Bowling (I average a 45), hanging pictures straight, keeping plants alive, decorating cakes n' things, human social interaction when I'm in a certain mood. Also, finishing my creative projects. I started this site and blog to talk about my writing, and of the several blog posts I've …
