So I read... a lot. Whether with a physical book where I have to dog ear the pages to save my place, my Kindle Fire, or through Audible, I'm always either reading or listening to a book. No offense to you out there who are fans, but Twilight and Hunger Games aren't really my cup of tea. I won't waste my time with 50 shades of porn. I like my emotions to be challenged. I like to think. I like to read books that are so descriptive that I feel like I'm there. I need new things to read, and hopefully someone will be able to give me some suggestions! My all time favorite author, is Charles Bukowski. He has written some amazing stuff, seriously. Women was my favorite, followed by Ham on Rye, followed by many of his poetry books.

On Death and Dying

At this point, I've taken many trips around the sun. I'm not elderly by any means, but I'm aging. Whether or not I'm doing it gracefully is still up for debate. There is a definite pattern here. My friends, friends of friends, my family, people are getting sick. People are meeting with unfortunate accidents. People are passing on. I feel like it's happening so often lately. It's heart wrenching. It takes your breath away. It makes you face your own mortality. Let's face it. I am not a healthy person. Each day, I wake up with a new ache or pain. A new symptom. A new problem. Each day, I wake up with good intentions... that I will ditch all of my horrible habits in favor of a healthier, life-sustaining lifestyle. Each night, I go to bed and realize that I did absolutely nothing to improve the quality of my life and give myself a better chance. I won't go into my unhealthy habits, but let's just say that there are an abundance. I want so badly to ma...
