An unstable folding chair hosted an equally unstable old man – they both looked as if they could...

Here's to the fall -
You’ll be shocked to learn that “History of Gospel Music” didn’t capture the attention of a first-semester college freshman… but this is the product of my distraction, written a year ago today:
The chipping white paint of the window sill and radiator provide an ironic frame for the nearly too-perfect lawn of Denison’s south quad – sprinkled with afternoon light and its shadows,...

This is an app I stumbled upon called Spreeder… if you have an article assigned from anything that’s already in type, you can copy and paste it into the Spreeder and it will speed-read it to you at a speed of your choosing. Kinda awesome when you’re in a time crunch for readings… per usual for me.

youTube Tuesday:
You should watch this passive aggressive video.
If you don’t, though, it’s fine… I guess.
Yeah, definitely don’t worry about it at all if you don’t want to. I understand…

Chippewa Song
Waves caress the shore, gentle but unrelenting.
An American flag, overpowered by the breeze, sounds a soft crack in protest, Eventual submission inevitable. A front porch swing, too, is encouraged by the wind, Its creaky cadence crying out for appreciation. I am reached by the wind.

Sorry for dartying
Her straight leg acid-washed jeans showcased worn pleather platform clogs as she stumbled through the door. With that, she rocked a red and white floral patterned midriff with puffy cap sleeves - there was a definite ‘Fourth-of-July-1983’ vibe.
And so begins the true story of a woman’s quick stint at the Vue Restaurant’s bar… and her eventual arrest. I encountered...
