Christmas Reflection 2020 and Music Video

2020 has truly been one for the books. And with the advent of the holiday season, for some of us, it’s a challenge reconciling what should have been a season of joy and celebration with feelings of grief and mourning for those we have lost this year, or the struggles of simply coping with new…

Which Is The Real Virus

Sometimes I wonder what presents the bigger threat to mankind: the coronavirus, or the unrestrained platform that is SOCIAL MEDIA?

Captain’s Log 3/17/20

My social media persona could have been anything I couldn’t be in real life - one sans a natural tendency towards awkwardness in social situations. But even the veil of anonymity cannot change an undeniable predisposition - the heart of an introvert. #dsymusings #randomthoughts
