i don’t know what i’m doing
it's hard for me to make it out to theaters these days with my family

so I've just now got to watch the new superman movie

it is far more wonderful than I expected it to be

and I'm bummed I didn't get to watch it on the big screen

The mud collected in front of my car from the Central Texas Flood is growing weeds.

Productivity game changer:

Just take it off the list.

You can do it another day.

You can also just not do it.

Delete can also count as checking a box.

I just finished Go Tell It on the Mountain, and I can’t stop thinking about it. Baldwin’s story of faith, power, and identity doesn’t just feel relevant—it feels like a warning. A thread on what I saw in this book and why it matters in 2025. 🧵

Cast Away has a near-perfect ending. The melancholy hits hard—his return to the banality of society, his fiancée moving on, and the quiet hope of meeting someone new who mirrors the wild he survived. It’s just so great.

Hi so how do you stop dwelling on and hating who you were twenty years ago?

Asking for a person who is me.

If you’re looking to steal away to reflect on Christmas in a meaningful way, I wrote this two minute reflection I think would be enriching for you.

I just finished writing a holiday short story called ‘Christmas Dinner,’ and it’s not quite the cozy feast you might expect. If you’re up for a quick read that starts warm but takes a turn, give it a look—I’d love to hear what you think!

I wrote a short story. If you get tired of the drama at family Christmas, get lost in a family drama I wrote! medium.com/@loganrowlan...

The Send Later feature for iOS Messages is a gamechanger.

I am notoriously bad at texting people back because by the time I see it, process it, it’s not a great time to reply, so I don’t, and I never remember.

Now I can’t write the text the moment I’m ready for it.

It took Cormac McCarthy’s surprising and baffling re-entrance into the media for me to find out there have been some pretty serious allegations made toward one of my other favorite authors and now I feel I need to throw up.

It's a dangerous business—going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to.

I thought writing down every task I need to get done as I think of them would be freeing because I’d know what needed to be done.

But now my list is so long I’m overwhelmed.

Can we admit that the new Blink 182 song is decent nostalgia but a bad song?

Edgar Alan Poe’s A Tell-Tale Heart was always an allegory about trying to put a toddler to sleep and feeling guilty about what kind of human that little monster turns you into at 2 AM.

You can’t convince me otherwise.

Me to any of my kids: Can you go faster please? Show me how fast you can go.

Any of my kids: *shakes head a lot, wiggles arms, moves the same speed or slower*
