Statistics

Posted on May 16, 2019 by Philip

One of the reasons I chose a business major in college was because I hated math, so I wasn’t particularly excited to take Business Statistics 101. It was, however, required for my major, and I suppose you can say I found solace in the fact that it was at least better than calculus. It was,…

Six Years

Posted on November 12, 2016 by Philip

It’s been a while since I tagged a story under the “Muse” category.  I don’t know if I’ve ever explained what that category means, but basically, they’re just stories that came to me in dreams.  Probably not the most traditional definition of a “muse,” or maybe not really even the definition at all.  But whatever….

Intertwined

Posted on July 26, 2015 by Philip

In some cultures, it’s common to refer to the paths ours lives take as “threads.”  It’s such an interesting comparison to make, because threads have so many different qualities that make them unique.  Threads can be many different colors and sizes, and combine fabrics to make something that’s so much larger the sum of its…

The World as it Was – Part 1

Posted on December 26, 2014 by Philip

Back in college, I held down two jobs.  One was as a computer help desk guy for the university, and the other was as a freelance writer for a local weekly newspaper.  Well, okay, the latter wasn’t really that big of a deal.  I just wrote a 500 word article every week and pretended that…

Terry Hall

Posted on June 10, 2014 by Philip

Have you ever seen something that wasn’t really there?  Had an experience that you could only reconcile with one other person in the world, and for which everyone else would call you crazy?   In college, I was part of a volunteer group that went around the dorms passing out pamphlets about how detrimental prescription drug abuse could…

Felicity

Posted on February 21, 2014 by Philip

Back when my life was a constant repetition of school, sleep, eat, repeat, I knew a girl named Felicity. She was a quiet girl for years, but she came out of her shell in high school, and we became friends around that time. Not very close friends, not merely acquaintances; just friends. I called her…

A Brief History of Henry

Posted on December 4, 2013 by Philip

I had grand daydreams of traveling with Roxanne.  Vision of mountains and oceans and skies waltzed through my head as I sat at work each day, confined by cubicle walls inside of even more brick and mortar walls that blocked out more than just daylight and fresh air.  We’d been to the beach, we’d been…

Chance

Posted on February 25, 2013 by Philip

I usually expect letdowns. It’s my life; I’ve long become accustomed to it, but again and again, I allow my hopes to rise and expectations to form. Normally I’d call it a rookie mistake. Quite sad for someone who is hardly a rookie. I am of course talking about a girl I met. Well, I…

Missing

Posted on February 5, 2013 by Philip

When I met Hayden, I felt as though every fiber of my being had suddenly connected to her. I became infatuated, helplessly and completely in love, and her returning my feelings was like a walk-in cooler filled with ice water in the center of the mid-July desert. Hayden completed me in ways that I didn’t…

Text

Posted on December 18, 2012 by Philip

Some amount of time ago, I received a text message on my phone from a number I didn’t recognize that plainly said “where are you.” I replied, asking “who is this?” but received no answer. A week later, the same number texted me again with the same message asking where I was. Confused, I texted…
