A Blog For Every Occasion

NEW BLOG ALERT https://taletellreview.wordpress.com/ Gee, almost new years and haven't heard a peep here? Must be new blog time. Honestly, if you folks knew how many discarded or never even started blogs I have out there in the interwebz you would be even more disgusted with me. However, in my rather weak defense, I create...

What DO You Make of It?

Life has inspired so many attempts to figure it out. It's the most annoying thing to humanity. What is it all for? Why are we here, what is this working towards? Is this punishment, a lesson, a stopgap to judge you before your eternal placement? Worse still, we fight and kill over just the idea...

Well That Was Random

Hey ya'll, it's been a while hasn't it? Hope this post finds you happy and safe as we dredge along at the start of this new year. Personally, I find happiness and safety to be very subjective. I feel like I should be feeling both with where I'm at, but I ain't. So what do...

The Spectator

I am really three people all in one. First one is the neurotic super anxious and prone to excessive panic that she is the most useless being in the universe, and then does nothing more than scream inside me for days on end. Sometimes out of frustration, sometimes in terror, then oddly even out of...

Ode To October

I wish I were born in October. That would really top off the already innate awesomeness of this month nicely. As it stands, October is still the best month of all in my not at all humble opinion. You’ve got the first real whiffs of fall here in Maine after the constant menopausal changes of...

The King’s Challenge

I have said it often enough here that you guys should be sick of it, but this is an awesome book. It mixes human enough stories of an honest man's life with the bare bones hard truths of being a successful writer. Basically, outside of The Elements of Style, this is the book on writing...

Altered Reality

I apologize for my silence. But, and I say this with all sincerity, I have not been in any perceivable mode of existence since I took on this new job. Literally, I would have more free will and power over my own life if I were one of the Sims. My entire being has been composed...

Comfort

  Most adults realize there is more to comfort than curling up on a cushy surface, surrounding yourself with lots of soft blankets and pillows. You can be literally drowned in all the physical comforts and still not feel comfortable at all. Peace of mind is an underrated comfort these days; if it ever was...

Room To Grow

I used to think that in order to survive life and all the hell that entails, you just had to shut the fuck up and accept that you were stupid and a miserable speck of dust in an endless universe. Then you let yourself be tossed around and hope for the best. This is not...

On Again

I threaten this almost daily, at least the days that I have to work. One fine morning I'll be sitting pretty at Starbucks drinking my coffee, and I'll finally give into that urge I feel when faced with another day in retail hell. I will call out, with no remorse, and spend my day drinking...
