Breaking Down and Leveling Up: Crying, Laughing, and Cry-Laughing
Life doesn’t come with an instruction manual, and if it did, I’m pretty sure mine got lost somewhere between the “Stay Calm” chapter and the “You’ve Got This” appendix. There have been moments when I felt like I was breaking down in slow motion—a messy, emotional unraveling that seemed to come out of nowhere and take hold like a tornado in my chest. But, weirdly enough, those moments also turned out to be the times I leveled up in ways I never expected.

SNAKE PIT
The stuff I'm about to write brings a number of past enemies to mind, so it's probably best I start telling this story while I'm in a good mood. Here goes nothing.

I resign from being poor.
This morning I woke up and thought: I really don’t love being poor. I'm a single dad, with primary custody of three kiddos. I'm very thankful to finally be single and I love being a dad! But, man, kids are expensive!

Hostess Cupcake Motherf*ckers
When I was in college—lo, nearly twenty-seven, twenty-eight years ago maybe—I shared a dorm room with a big Black dude with dreadlocks who smoked a lot of grass. Dude was cool to me though, man. We used to have a good laugh at our lily-white, bourgeois fellow students and their often sanctimonious and totally naive worldview, which usually amounted to wearing their sanctimonious, woke—or whatever you call it these days—hearts on their designer sleeves.

Untitled Public Service Announcement. Runner-Up in I Resign From… Challenge.
May 30, 2025 To whom it may concern, To Ms. Ferguson, To her. To you, To me, I don't know how formal or informal this should be. I've done a resignation letter twice. Both times I was bitter yet restrained. I tried to be respectfully disrespectful. I was calculated and careful with my word choice. Desperation was my motivation for both resignation letters. Though the forces driving each period of desperation were so drastically different. Financial stagnancy vs emotional exhaustion. No chance for lateral movement vs being paralyzed by grief and failure.
