Of Beards, Poetry, and Music

Ooookay, so today I added several things under Library of Stories: one, some random poetry, the other some thoughts about music (including a link to a classic rock playlist). I also added several things to Multimedia related to Beard Memes.

Resume writing a new résumé May 6, 2025
I recently trimmed a bunch of stories from the “Library of Stories” page as many of these are going into a collection of stories I am working on publishing. At that point, I’ll have to overhaul this site, but that will come in time. I was kinda hoping that as a writer, I wouldn’t ever […]
Real life versus fiction: trauma recovery April 5, 2025
At the end (well, multiple ends, but I’ll let that one go) of Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings epic, Frodo mentions he feels the pain of the wound on the anniversary of the attack, and he suffers from recurring weakness and shadows of fear tied to the traumatic events he endured. On one hand, I […]
The “Dark Matter” of Domesticity: A Paperclip Odyssey March 17, 2025
I’m cleaning up and sorting through paperwork, allowing my brain to contemplate the digital revolution. Remember paper? That ancient forest-based communication method our ancestors used? So, story time. Back in my Shell days, I worked with a team providing support to various teams. One individual… let’s call her a “procurement enthusiast.” She had, over the […]
New study suggesting people with ADHD have shorter lifespans January 28, 2025
https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/adhd-deaths-1.7442958 Since Facebook has blocked Canadian news and also FUCK THEM, I thought, “Let’s experiment with linking to news on my site, then linking to Facebook”. Anyhow, interesting article, relevant to my interests, and I will add (not seriously) the reason people with ADHD die sooner is that everyone else is running at 33RPM, we […]
Upcoming news, changes December 3, 2024
In the Library of Stores page, I will be removing a lot of stories. This is because I’ve since rewritten them and will be including them in an anthology soon. More details about that soon, but for anyone (taps microphone “Hello, is this thing on) reading, yeah, I am working on things. The post Upcoming […]
So, I’m Still Here… August 22, 2024
[looks at the last time I updated my website…coughs nervously] I think in the future, people will look at the years of the pandemic as a really rough decade. It was a difficult time, but to quote Michael Caine, I “used the difficulty”. Background: Actor Michael Caine was rehearsing a play early in his career. […]
Throwback / Throw a light to the future Thursday April 14, 2022
In March 2021 my sister Kathie had been told “yes, the cancer is back, and your time is up.” So, prior to the Easter weekend, I took a few days off work to travel to Edmonton. I visited Kathie, her family, and my other two siblings: Gail and Ken (and Ken’s wife & one of […]
Christmas Song of my youth, missing my sister, other thoughts December 14, 2021
Back in the late 60s/early 70s, Zellers sold A Very Merry Christmas: Volume 3. It was an album with a lot of big name stars (at the time) and other talent belting out seasonal songs. Mom bought it, and every Christmas growing up, she pulled this one out to play it. It’s actually quite a […]
Live, Laugh, mADneSSs line of thoughts November 26, 2021
Giving myself a quick hour to do something creative and humorous even if it is a random (to borrow from the late comedian George Carlin) “Brain dropping”. From my “Live, Laugh, mADneSSs” line of thoughts, words of wisdom, etc. Enjoy. Heh. Heehee. HehehehahahaahaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAA! The post Live, Laugh, mADneSSs line of thoughts appeared first on EvanKayne.com.
Posting to EvanKayne.com not Facebook…how “meta” November 21, 2021
TL; DR: Found pizza, found some joy, but someone else lost theirs. Burp. This just happened a few weeks ago. I had just finished a closing shift at ye olde cannabis dispensary, it had been a week since they told us they were closing this location due to low sales (we’re unionized so most of […]
