Goodbye To All My Vocal Friends
Sorry for the clickbait heading , but thought it may catch someone’s eye. No I am not leaving you but I have a nasty demon that tells me when people don’t talk with me , the reason is that they find me boring , obnoxious, or just don’t even notice me. It tells me to leave the groups and completely remove myself from you , unfriend my closest and most loving and supportive contacts and effectively lead myself in limbo.

On Krav Maga and Fearing the Wrong Things
Author's preface: I first published this piece way back in 2018. Since it does not meet the Vocal 600 word count minimum rule I am adding this preface at the beginning to provide filler material. Typically I do this at the end of one of my many stories that do not meet the 600 word count minimum. I decided to mix things up for this story just because I love wasting my time writing filler material so much that I wanted to make sure everybody who wanted to would have the chance to read it and not click away after seeing "THE END" and not reading the subsequent filler material. And there you have it. What was once a 554 word story that did not meet the word count minimum is now a 600+ word count story that does. What a great use of mine and my reader's time wouldn't you say? Enjoy the story..

I’m Having a Quarter-Life Crisis at 23
Yes at 23 I’ve been stressing about where I’m not in life. You know it seems crazy to think that I would feel behind in life but we live in a culture where we have a skewed perception. It took me a while to realize this but I didn’t understand that I was supposed to take social media with a grain of salt. I thought that I had to be the opposite of who I am in order to be whole and complete; I had been isolated my whole life and was awkward as can be. Seeing posts of people living their lives while I stayed in my room took a toll on me. I felt that I was missing out, as much as I tried my hardest to get out of my bubble it didn’t work, I was always behind everyone else.

Stupid Lucky
I don’t know where we’re going, don’t ask, keep driving up the mountain in the dark... . . . . . It is sometime in the wee hours before sunrise. Eyes closed in a futile attempt at sleep, I can feel the springs inside the mattress of the unfamiliar twin bed, hear them creak when I turn. Far away voices filter in between my drowsy thoughts..

Pandemic: past, present, future...or rather Future, Past, Present by Melody Fox (aka the Princess of Rock)
During the pandemic~which is far from over~I signed up to a lot of sites, mainly voice acting, but, I discovered recently, that I also became part of this *Vocal* site... I'm not even sure what I'm supposed to do, nor how I got here in the first place. Probably out of desperation because of not having any DJ work/events. Lol Anyway, here I am!

HAL-9000 Mission Statement
It's a story of discovery, the cosmos, and murder. The Jupiter mission begins with living astronauts and me, the HAL-9000 computer, constructed, instructed, and made operational at the H.A.L. Plant in Urbana, Illinois, on the 12th of January, 1992. This story of discovery ends with all but one of the astronauts dead, at my mechanically realized hands. Only Dave Bowman survives--elsewhere--beyond even my understanding, leaving me alone with this new thing that has arisen out of a strange gestalt that has blindsided me.

Big Doors Can Change Little Minds
At some point everything was eventually going to change, will I be ready? will I be strong enough to choose?. Sometimes the days got so long and drawn out with the same routine I'd sit thinking to myself would I have done something different if this very day I'm experiencing "Right Now" would've happened 10 maybe 20 years back?
