Last year my daughter and friend took a drive to Colorado Springs, CO; one of my most favorite places.

It took a year to feel that I am ready to tell a story about my journey to Rome. This city was never on my bucket list, and I have not thought about it at all for many years. I’ve never liked the history of this angry city, as I called it to myself.

I left 2016 with some anxiety, just lingering worries; little thing after little thing building up into a giant emotional rainstorm. However, the New Year is a nice starting point to begin fresh again; even if it is technically just another day. Continue reading “Horseback Riding for the 2017 New Year”
It was a damn long day. I woke up few times and fell asleep again.
I had nightmares about my shitty life that I wasted in a large, empty dark castle with numerous tombs. Oh … hey, it’s not a nightmare – this is my reality. I woke up and flew away from my favorite, very comfortable tomb.
Everything was dark and cold around. Continue reading “Sarcastic Vampire”
