Writing Inspirations
Unlike a lot of writers (and snobby English majors I shared classes with), I don’t really have a list of writers that inspire me. SO many people I’ve met are always like “oh, I really try to emulate people like Hemingway, Faulkner, and Tarantino,” and that makes me wanna vomit (that line specifically for many…

The Previous Post
That last post was the first thing I’ve “written” in nearly a month. If you can even call it writing. Basically just pasted an image and place a couple of random thoughts. That’s not really writing. Yet, something brought me back to this page—a place up until a few days ago I was more than…

My Top 42 Albums
Whew… Sorry folks, I just got out of the bottomless pit that Ozzie Smith fell into when visiting Springfield back in ’92. Am I okay? Short answer: not in the slightest. Long answer: chill, I don’t know you like that. I thought about not coming back, but then again, I’ve thought that about a number…

Do My Kids Have a Future?
A lot of people don’t come and ask me “Zach! Do you want kids?” And my answer to that nonexistent question that I think about every day is “Yes, absolutely.” And then the nonexistent follow up is always “Why?” And that’s a fair question: why do I want kids? In a world with a future…

I like to say I enjoy reading, but ever since I started using sites like Goodreads and Thestorygraph, I’ve been feeling…

Clothes Shopping or: This Anti-Capitalist’s Paradoxical Behavior
I gotta be honest, kiddos. . . kinda forgot about this entire thing. But don’t worry, I feel like ranting and rambling, so I’m back! As for how long? Who’s to say? Mental health is approaching an ATL, so I could either end up writing a lot or not at all! Anywho, let’s get started,…

Vacation Home
Hey kiddos, it’s been a bit since I’ve posted on here and I’d like to get back into it, but I don’t have anything ready at the moment. Both pieces are unhinged rambles and breakdowns, so I’d like to hold off on posting those. In the meantime, please enjoy this memoir piece I wrote a…

Dark Humor or Just Offensive?
I know I said I wouldn’t do article-type stuff or “think pieces” anymore, but guess what? I’m a liar. Absolutely pathological. HOWEVER!!! I don’t consider it lying this time. I know, I know, why did I admit to being a liar then? Well, because I trust you guys and think it’s important to share who…
