If I Could Pretend That I’m Asleep When My Tears Start To Fall

Yesterday was a good day. Yesterday was a much needed breath of fresh air. Yesterday was a good day. So why does today have to suck so hard? To flashback, Ashley-Michelle and I decided that we needed something of a mental health break and just wanted to get the hell out of town for a

Trying to Scream Underwater

JOSH’S NOTE: I suppose there’s a first time for everything. I’ve never felt the need to post any sort of warning before a post before but today is just a little bit different. Today we are diving into some deep shit and I feel the need to offer a fair warning to anyone of my

I’m Not Dead, Just Floating

First and foremost. If you were not aware, they released Newsies: The Broadway Musical on Digital Video and there’s a fairly decent chance that I have watched it at least ten times since Tuesday. I got to see it twice in theatres during the limited run and I’m really hoping I can see it live

Why is it Only Wednesday?

This week has low-key been the worst. As I wrote that, I realized that it’s only Wednesday. Now I want to crawl into a hole and die. The general consensus among my friends has been the full moon which I think arrives tonight. Mercury is out of retrograde so I can’t blame that. I don’t,

My Dear John Letter to 2016

Hello and welcome to my final post of 2016. You know. That year that tore us all apart. Yeah. It’s finally over. 2016 was a year of worn out hearts and trembling hands. This was a year of heartbreak, loss and moments that truly felt like the end of the world. My current working theory

In 2017 Lets Share Kindness

It’s no secret that I am a theme park nut. I moved to Orlando simply so I could immerse myself in the world of theme parks. I regret nothing. I, naturally, am I Disney guy through and through but that doesn’t mean that I don’t share a special affair with the other big name in

Six Months Later: We Are Still Orlando

June 12, 2016 is a day I, and so many others, will never forget. I woke up to my phone buzzing non-stop. There had been a mass shooting at a nightclub not far from my home in Orlando. A nightclub frequented by many of my friends. June 12, 2016: The First 24 Hours The morning
