THE DAILY DEPARTURE
This is my open diary. No, I’m not just gonna word vomit every thought that travels through my mind throughout the day, that would be….well…that would…let’s just say I’ll be sticking mostly to travel and existential crises that I have. Maybe I’ll mix in a lil pop culture. Sports may slip in. For all I know, I may just need to fire off a hot take, but hey, at the end of the day this is my column to share where my mind departs to on the daily.

Where We Went Wrong with Valentine’s Day
Elementary school is where you’re first introduced to the idea of Valentine’s Day with candy, cards, and decorated boxes. Really all anyone cared about was the candy. I’ll give you that. When it comes to the importance of candy and Valentine’s Day we never strayed. But one key area changes as we get older, and we went down the wrong path.

Friday Jr.
The vibes shift, the mood lifts, and suddenly even the most dreaded tasks don’t seem so bad because you can feel just how close you are to stepping into two glorious days of doing whatever the hell you want. Whether it’s a wild night with the crew, a lazy morning slouching on the couch, or just the joy of knowing your alarm can’t attack you. It’s all in the anticipation. And it all starts Thursday.

Snack Dilemma
On the surface, there are a ton of clouds that shield the office with very few rays of sunshine slipping through to you when you’re glued down in the cube. But this is our life for the next few decades, so the game to master is spotting excitement throughout the day with the objects provided by your office admin.

Tomato Juice
I would not consider myself a fan of tomato soup but when you’re having a grilled cheese it’s a must. Honestly, not even really a fan of grilled cheese but when Chantel is the one doing the grocery shopping, it’s really not my place to say. Great, my first daily departure and you’re probably wondering what I do like.
