When the guy was sleeping Dave got bored. He for awhile was using the lights out time as the time when he slept. But something about the motel at night kept him up. He liked seeing people from the other side at night. He liked how all of their windows...

Alan's mom enjoyed her nights alone. She asked sometimes if he was staying around after dinner just to know if she would have her alone time. 

She was watching a show recently where everyone was a vampire. She liked that thought the main characters were attractive. 

Another time she watched...

It has been more than half a year since I last shared what I'm up to. And I feel like I'm missing something (haha, FOMO ).

So I thought, why not share what is going on and what I've been up to.

But it is hard to start journalling in English again....

He needed a  beer . It was a sunny afternoon with crisp air. It made his skin feel neither dry or oily. In college he would often take such afternoons off. He would go to a bar with a patio and drink cold beer while watching people pass by.

There was...

Few minutes into the  Netflix , he grew bored. Why was this show that was painstakingly produced less interesting then bits of information he surfed on the internet? House prices. Someone else's dinner or vacation. A random thought someone tweeted.

Godot quickly came up with an explanation. It was because shows...

Godot that night he waited on his phone. Swapping between instagram, tinder, and zillow. Like almost roulette hoping that this time when he opened it will be the time he'd get a house, a girlfriend, maybe even just a like?

He knew also he should have gone to sleep like...

Mia ended up ghosting me. She said I could interrogate her tonight. But she never showed up. I stayed up drinking a few beers while cleaning the apartment. And then I fell asleep. I tried putting something on  Netflix , but it was boring. Something was different about tonight. I...

Hector watched the cortisol infused rats scuttling around.

People had places to be. And they had to have been there ten minutes ago. deadline s were past due. And the  coffee was no longer hitting. Though they still needed the coffee. That was not up for discussion. Even when the  caffeine...

It's quite straight forward to become a multi millionaire . All you need to do is be committed to some craft that pays well and give up your social life and other  hobbies . Of course you can become a multi millionaire without doing all that, but if you really...

So, two episodes ago, I started watching 13 Reasons Why ("Tote Mädchen Lügen Nicht" - "Dead Girls don't lie"). It has been on my watchlist since it came out. I remember it releasing an enormous “scream” in public.

But I came back to it a different way. Recently I started binging...

What a man fears most when finally entering a good relationship

is its end.



It's hard to blame him.



After countless days sipping meaningless information on the internet

and pointless dinners with other people who resemble them,

they have come to see life as the Netflix home screen.



An offering of something that once thrilled him

but...

I could finally understand why he had wanted to write a  graphic novel back in  college . They were like a  Netflix show, but on paper. I thought of him while flipping through the pages, feeling the sheets against my fingers.

"I can feel what you said."

"That must mean it was...

The drive to  Westcity took over an hour.

But it was worth taking every weekend as soon as I got my driver's license .

I couldn't even imagine what I was spending my weekends doing before I got that thing. Probably watching a lot of  TV , we didn't have smart...

Netflix , Amazon Prime Video , Disney+ , Youtube , twitch and many other Platforms have one thing in common: Content . I remember a statistic about YouTube that stated that 500 hours of Content are uploaded every minute. That's 500 days of new stuff to watch every day.

Sure, I...

Yesterday I took the day off because of my grandfather's funereal ( Grandfather Yours Truly ). Since it is the end of the week I thought to myself, not knowing how I would feel after the funeral I would take off Friday...

Everybody was dressed like they might need to make an appearance on another's Instagram . A lot of black and light tans,. A lot of wool and metal.

You might not expect me to be fan of the holidays if you knew me in real life but i did actually enjoy...

When you read this you will be in a dark place with no believable escape. And you will hate the person who wrote this. You'll be tempted to close out of this immediately, what do you have to learn from me anyways? And though I beg you to not do...

I'm not the type of person who has a set time each day where I just go and watch a TV show. I"m either binging something or I'm not watching anything at all. When I first watched Squid Game it...

I once watched two people fall in love and it made me sad. One of them was my roommate, and I was sad because when it happened, I didn't feel anything.

We had all gone to high school together... somehow we were living in the same house. Ivan, the guy, fell...

She waited eagerly. Everyday. Especially when walking under the summer sky on her walks, wondering what this winter would be like. 

She secretly hoped that COVID would be worse this year. That it would be bad enough that her university would let her work from home again. 

She wanted this...

Responding to  drewbaca_ 's comment invigorated me to write this. Because I'm actually off on a trip soon to  Mammoth Cave and so was going to write later once I was back. But reading his comment beckoned a comment from me. And writing...

Later while alone it what I wanted when around Jeannie became clear. It went beyond her flesh, past the mere material -- just as how the story of a book is worth more than the ink and paper that contain it, 

I'd been daydreaming too much about my meetings with...

The angles and positioning of its windows and roofing made everyday dim. The rest of town could be spending their day swimming, jumping over sprinklers, and sipping lemonade under parasols, and yet while inside this house, such conditions would feel about as real as a TV ad.

Ivan watched a lot...
