People keep looking at my profile and asking, "Why is a radar detector listed as a top priority right next to snacks and horror movies?"
It’s because driving on the Texas highway system isn't a normal commute—it's a high-stakes, high-speed tactical sport. If you have ever driven down I-45, the Grand Parkway, or any major loop out here, you already know the unwritten rule: the...

Since you stumbled onto my page, welcome!By day, I'm an HVAC technician in Houston handling 130-degree attics (and occasionally falling through ceilings). By night, I love writing poetry, sharing random thoughts, and checking out all the incredible alternative art and photography on this site.I’m AuDHD, so my brain constantly runs 40 browser tabs at once, but I'm always down for good vibes and great conversations.If...

40 TABS YOU SAY? O.O

@tintanankin It's a lot of chaos up there! Haha. Thanks for the support.

Let’s be honest, when people hear that line, they usually think of a cheesy old-school 80s movie setup. But the actual reality of working HVAC in Houston is usually just sweating through your clothes in a 130-degree attic.

Except for that one time the cliché actually came true.

I pulled up to a routine service call, grabbed my tool bag, and knocked on the door....

The Canvas and the Network:
Born in the rain of Portland's night,
Before the internet was small,
They chose a different kind of light,
And built a space to hold it all.
To leave the traditional side
Meant stepping off the corporate track,
Refusing standard molds to hide,
And never looking, turning back.
Against the sleek and airbrushed shine,
They chose the jagged, real, and...

Hey everyone,
You know when you’re listening to a killer rock playlist, feeling like the main character in an action movie, and you think to yourself, “Yeah, I’m basically a badass”?
Well, the universe heard me thinking that the other day. And it decided to humble me. Immediately.
For those who don’t know, I’m an HVAC technician. By day, I fix air systems. By...

Glad you're okay! I've fallen off skateboards, fallen while snowboarding, fallen down stairs, and on occasion fallen in love, but never through a ceiling. That said, I don't regularly work in the ceiling. I'm sure if I was up there more I'd have definitely fallen through a few times. Thanks for sharing.
cheekywhisper:
@elixic  Haha, falling off skateboards and snowboards sounds way more badass than just stepping onto weak drywall. Glad to hear you haven’t experienced the ceiling drop yet—keep avoiding those attics!
Since my last entries got wiped out by a laptop mishap, I’m starting fresh with a little honesty.
Navigating this site—and honestly, the world in general—with Autism and ADHD means my brain constantly feels like it's running 40 browser tabs at the same time, and one of them is blasting music I can't turn off.
It makes social interactions feel like trying to solve a...
