My vacation!

I don't get to travel much, but when I do I never know the best way to share my journey. Twitter doesn't give you enough characters, and Facebook is too filled with political posts these days. Instagram banned me for direct messaging photos of my feet to celebrities, so I decided to share my adventures on my blog. I hope you enjoy!

Have you ever seen anything so stunning? I haven't because my eyes melted.

When I arrived I was immediately taken aback by the view! While I had heard that the scenery would blow me away, I didn't think that my skin would literally fall off of my bones!

Found some unwelcome creatures where I stayed...

I wish the hotel I stayed at had called an exterminator before I arrived... yuck! The facility was otherwise fine (though the pool of eternally burning fire could have been a little bigger), but I CANNOT stand finding critters where I sleep. I'm sure you wouldn't be able to sleep either if you had these guys crawling under your bed and ripping out your intestines.

Food was a little ashy

The food was interesting, to say the least. First of all, the plate it was served on was WAY too hot, and I almost left before my food finally came out. How long does it take to simply heat something up to 7 trillion degrees? And after all of that... I'm pretty sure it was microwaved. I would have complained, but the food burned my tongue, jaw, and throat right off my body.

So great to meet you Tortured Soul 543,324,654,102, Tortured Soul 435,902,122, and Tortured Soul 5 (sorry if I spelled your names wrong!)

My absolute favorite thing about traveling is meeting the locals! Of all the places I've been, I think this trip takes the cake for the most interesting and glum people. I had a hard time understanding what a lot of them were saying (not sure what their language was - sounded like a lot of wailing - can anyone help me out???), but I was still able to communicate pretty well with them. One guy grabbed my arm as I walked by, and though I didn't have a translator, I could tell he wanted me to switch places with him for the rest of eternity. Sorry buddy, but I like my running water and air that doesn't poison your lungs yet not kill you a little too much!

Cliffs of Despair

While some of the sight seeing spots were a little touristy, I'm glad I got a chance to see one of the more famous one! I wasn't brave enough to cast my soul into the Pits of Anguish, but the people that had a more daredevil streak seemed to shriek and writhe in pleasure.

Loved this little hole in the wall place!

Traveling isn't all fun. My least favorite part of the trip.

Loved hearing this guy play some tunes on the bones of sinners. Could listen to it for trillions of years!

In all honesty, one of the worst airports I've been to. It didn't have any outlets and forced you to relive all the traumatic moments of your past over and over for all eternity.

Summer Fun on a Budget

In case the several gallons of sweat drenching the inside of your astronaut costume hasn't told you yet, SUMMER IS HERE! For some that might mean several weeks of traveling, but for those of us who don't work for a pirate that pays us in treasure chests, we don't have a ton of time or gold coins to traverse the seas. If you fall in that category, like I do, this list will hopefully give you some valuable tips to enjoying your summer without breaking the bank. 1.) Discontinue the zero-tolerance illegal immigration policy. I don't know about you, but criminalizing people who try to get from one country to another is my least favorite thing about summer (or any season). Why not end this by getting rid of this discriminatory policy in the first place? Put on one of those old sundresses or some flip flops to look extra cute while doing it! 2.) Stop separating families at the border. Did you know that you can ride a roller coaster or go to a water park to hear scr...

My coming out post

This is difficult. I’m not usually vulnerable on here, but I need to talk about something. After being in the closet for so long, it’s time for me to speak my truth. As a writer, this blog is the best place for me to do that. And I really appreciate YOU for reading this. Being in the closet is in no way a fun experience. When you have no one to talk to it’s easy to shut down, to get lost in your thoughts. For that reason, I have a lot of pent-up emotions... soI’ll try to not write too much! I feel like I’ve been in the closet forever. But when it really comes down to it, I’m the same person I was when I was trapped in there. “Trapped” might seem like a strong word, but I assure you, I do not use it lightly. When I was in the closet, I truly felt that I would never get out - and that often led to despair. Despite all this, I have no regrets - because coming out has only made me stronger. I cannot write this post without thanking my support system: my friends and family. Thes...

CULTURE MUSINGS: How is the new Aladdin different from the original?

This Memorial Day weekend, Disney released Aladdin, the live-action version of one of its most popular movies based on the life of U.S. President Warren G. Harding's youngest son. While the adaption mostly stays true to the original, some eagle-eyed fans might have noticed these changes in Guy Ritchie's remake. The events of the live action film do not end up causing the Hindenburg disaster. It is heavily implied in the 1992 Aladdin film that the main character inadvertently creates a chain reaction through history that end up resulting in the 1937 explosion of the Hindenburg, starting with a chase scene at the beginning of the film. As Aladdin runs from palace guards, he bumps into a man who looks very similar to Ludwig Durr, the designer of the Hindenburg. John Musker and Ron Clements, the directors of the animated film, confirmed in several interviews that the man is indeed the airship designer's ancestor, and that Aladdin's collision with him has dire conse...

Emotion, Inc.

Mel hung up the phone and stared straight ahead, replaying the conversation in his head. He knew he had to tell his boss what had happened, but how? There was a knock on his door and a tan face with a grin of shiny white teeth stepped into his office. “Ready for the meeting, Choly?” He laughed at an untold joke. “Yup,” said Mel, taking a deep breath. “I’m excited, we’ll get to hear how well we worked! And if not, boss always gives the best advice.” As Mel walked past him he gave him a forceful pat on the back. Mel just ignored him. “What’s wrong, friend?” “It’s nothing, Smiley.” The two walked down the hallway and towards the conference room. “Well whatever it is, I’m sure this meeting will cheer you up!” Mel suspected the exact opposite would happen, but he simply sighed. The two stepped into a room where a man and a woman sat at a long table. He and Smiley took seats next to each other, and as they sat dow...
