Watcher, Watching, and Watched
I sit there and look out. Sometimes I feel like I am not actually me, that I am someone inside of a vessel. The person playing a first-person shooter game. And to be honest, I feel that way as well. I feel as if that since I don't feel "grounded" to my person, I don't … Continue reading Watcher, Watching, and Watched

Having a job, to me, didn't seem like a "big" thing. I mean, what I am trying to say is that what I thought of a job was simple. You clock in, do your stuff, and leave. Nothing more, nothing less. B O Y, am I wrong.I started working my first job about two years … Continue reading Working Stiff
