Random Junk #2: Aliens!

Aliens remind me of: Irrational fear of being abducted- When I was a kid my bed was right in front of the window, and I lived on a dead end road next to a wooded area. The only neighbor that had a view of our house was our across the street neighbors, but they were …

My Mind is the Only Mind that Can Exist by my Perception

It's called solipsism. It is the philosophical belief that your own mind is the only mind that can exist or is known to exist. It kind of seems like "no way" since it is obvious that other minds surely exist, but it makes so much sense when you look at it in a perceptional aspect. …

Dinosaurs are my Co-pilots

Happened totally by accident, and I bought them at different times, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I'm a 90's kid that grew up in the age of Jurassic Park mania so how can I not like dinosaurs!? I work at a thrift shop and came across the T Rex first. I've collected …

Songs you Should Know #1: “Too Many Puppies” by Primus

Bird Sightings from 2015

    I have developed an interest in birds recently; in fact, I've grown quite fond of those feathered critters. I live in a really good area for sightings because I live near a creek, a park, and a generally wooded area. Just yesterday I started documenting my sightings, but I remember some earlier sightings …

Abandoned Gas Station

Across the street from where I work occasionally (I work as a landscaper and maintain several different locations) there is an abandoned gas station called Azalea Service Center on Wrightsville Ave in Wilmington, North Carolina. I found out it was defunct when one of my co-workers suggested I get a water there on a particularly hot …
