As a child Peter preferred the pizza parlor. Pizza was his favorite food. He didn't even like eating the pasta at his dad's place until he was in middle school. When his family went there for dinner he'd always order the stromboli. It was the closest thing to pizza. When...

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...

The forest rustled as the sun set. This was when you were screwed if you weren't already almost back. People living  modern lives never knew this. On the odd  camping trip they might feel it. Mother  nature 's signal that night is upon you. But such lessons were easily forgotten...

In high school I remember being best friends with someone who made me feel terribly uncomfortable.

To this you might say, how can you call them your best friend?

But similar to how adults with responsibilities stay in jobs they might hate, that's how this friendship felt.

Seems bizarre now to remember how...

high school The Red Notebook
During my twenties I half-feared my love of reading. Some weeks I would dive deep into a book. Elation on Monday without the guilt. I could still write the rest of the week. Plus as a writer you were supposed to take days off to read. Get inspired.

With each passing...

high school
 
psychology
class showed us 
Cool Hand Luke
. At the time I was in awe. It was like I liked the film but it didn't resemble the other films I'd liked at the time. 

Not a trashy comedy like 
The Hangover
or a classic macho film like 
Rocky
. Instead it was this artsy kind of film that cut deep into human psychology... I wouldnt've phrased it this way at the time... I just tried to get some of my other friends to watch it but I probably did a bad job selling it because I didn't have the intellectual and verbal reasoning over what made Cool Hand Luke so great.

At the time the character Luke made an impression on me. I looked up to him, identified with him. I even saw myself acting like him in parts of my life for years. 

Anyways when I was 18 or so I would've thought being like Luke was good/cool. Now I think it is actually a tragic fate. Though I don't think Craig was being ominous by calling you that.
