Hipsters talk more than Boomers these days.

Abraham Kim last shared their writing pat gets fed chips
They dragged him away to feed him chips. His cheeks were growing redder. Someone made a comment "what's wrong with Pat, man?" but nobody knew. They shook their heads, shrugged their shoulders and took turns shoving chips into his mouth. There were fritos. Doritos. Ruffles with ridges. But none of...

Child of farmers

His parent were farmers. This taught him the value of food. Humbled him to fear the treachery of an empty belly paired to a hopeless heart.

See, having an empty belly wasn't a bad thing on itself. In fact he had gone many days not eating a single bite. So long...

Backoffice Apps

I have a fetish with horribly designed, outdated back-office apps.

Maybe I can't claim they're horribly designed. That's too subjective . 

How about instead: I have a fetish with established back-office apps that people often complain about. I would even guess that they love to complain about these apps....

Actually not a single one of them I bet could tell you what they stayed for. I mean they'l give you their reasons, but do they believe themselves? If you look into their eyes as they ingest another puff of smoke do...

Before the habit vs After

Before I forged a solid writing habit I took myself too serious. 

I walked around with this pressure, a ticking time bomb. I needed to finish something meaningful, and I needed to do it soon. 

My reason for wanting to write was grandiose and ego driven. I could only pull...

The 4th Decade

30s are tough from a lot of my reading. A lot of significant events tend to happen then. The one that becomes stressful is that you are expected to make very long term decisions. Like a partner, career, house and maybe even legacy :).

801 Nathaniel

After the world shut down I began working from home.

It was kind of nice to not have to be anyplace. To dress however I wanted. To cook homemeals at my place and feed bits of it to my dog Toby. But the best thing I loved about working from home...

Who to impress

Even if we don't think we are, most of us live lives trying to impress virtual imaginations of how famous people would think about us.

How much time have we spent trying to mold ourselves into someone who would impress some famous designer? Or a CEO we admire? We watch...

Excitement is fuel not product

Excitement is helpful a helpful vibe to produce to. It makes working on a project more fun.Sometimes it can even feel more fun than having fun in the more traditional sense: for example going out for margaritas or jetskiing. 

But after a few hundred days of writing daily I've recently...

October's Formal - 6

You wouldn't believe how much attention went into this one event. In fact for the past two weeks I don't think my friends talked about anything else. I'll also admit that I wasn't free from all this excitement. I too couldn't wait for this Saturday to come.
