Hello? Is This Thing On?
Tuesday, January 02, 2024
Personally, I don't know which is worse: having lived so many different experiences and struggling to maintain order in your life or missing out on too much, but having a neat, organized, and ordinary existence.
Nah, I'm kidding. They're both good. Great, even.
But here's the thing... when you've tried a variety of things, when you've succeeded and failed, you eventually become "experienced" in life. That's where I am now: experienced.
That doesn't mean I know it all. It doesn't mean I'm great. It simply means I've got knowledge, insight, experience, and some people might like that. So, if that's you, welcome. If not, cool.
We're all on this journey called life. Even though we may not see each other, we're together. Across time and space and the miles between us, from the moment I'm tapping these words into existence to the time you read them, all that space and the seconds, minutes, and hours that separate us simply vanishes.
Isn't it awesome?
Hi, I'm G. Thomas Hedlund

My journey began a loooong time ago. In a galaxy far, far away. When the dinosaurs still roamed. Well, perhaps that was only my dreams... or nightmares. Since then, though, I've learned a few things along the way. Here is where I share some of that with you, and occasionally the pieces of life that beg to be set free and that just.won't.shut.up.
Like what you read? Why not try a cli-fi novel?!?
Cli-fi? Oh yeah, "climate fiction."
What might happen with rising temps and a brutal algae bloom? Could it be that when all the fish along shore die or flee, that sharks (finally) see us as food?
