Sunset Rise
It might not look like anything special, but this photo is one of my favorite pictures that I’ve ever taken. Thanks to my mother and her mindset of having a healthy outdoor life. I like to go for walks, especially when it’s a clear sunny day out. I love to put on my favorite music and just go walking for hours. One day when I was out walking one spring evening this sunset stood over. And I’m not afraid to say I thought it was a beautiful thing.

Con Man
GalaxyCon Raleigh 2022 I will never forget the day I took this picture. It was truly a return to form. So imagine this: in the year 2020 Covid strikes and the world is now living under the mandates of a pandemic. We all remember how that went right? Social distancing and very limited contact in public places to lower the risk of exposure to the coronavirus.

Incredibooks: No One Has To Know
Once upon a time I heard someone utter the phrase “what you don’t know can kill you”. After reading “No One Has To Know: A Captive Romance” by Carin Hart, I am now under the firm belief that what you don’t know can keep you alive, even if in the not so healthiest of ways.

Roger Montgomery is in line at the 7/11 getting some iced coffee for his friend Ramona. “Okay what are you doing here at 6:30 p.m. Roger,” the cashier asked. “I normally don’t see you til 6:30 a.m.” “Well I was getting Ramona’s coffee for her being that it’s probably gonna snow in the morning” Roger replied. “Then what does she need the iced coffee for” the cashier began. “If it’s gonna snow then y’all aren’t going anywhere, so why would she need the energy?”

Sadie’s Way
My whole life I’ve always made a conscious effort to avoid having close intimate relationships with people. The key phrase in what I just said is “With People”. I guess the good Lord refused to let this apply to man’s best friend. I met one of my closest friends, Elizabeth while attending college in Jamestown, North Carolina in 2011. We became close friends in 2013 and I eventually met her son and her dog, a pitbull name Sadie and I have picture of her that is worth a thousand words.
