In planning for season 2 of my #YouTube page, #BallistikCoffeeBoy, I have been thinking alot the past two weeks about which #vintagegaming #consoles I plan to review in the new year. Some of them have already been semi-reviewed, just not filmed, and others I have recorded snippets of while playing them initially. Below is a... Continue Reading →
12.10.21 The Zing Factor. (Previously Unpublished Journal from 6.7.19)
This is a journal entry from back in June 2019 that was previously unpublished. I thought I'd go ahead and publish it since I hate it when things go unpublished! The moral of the post is... seize the day, and don't hold your breath waiting for tomorrow. Tell your loved ones you love them in the moment! And be the best you can be each day. -BB

11.07.21 May I Borrow You For a Minute? (Poetry, 2021)
"May I Borrow You For a Minute?" was written on October 23, 2021, and is contained in my personal poetry book for Oct-Dec 2021, 'Earthly Delights in a Closed Type Universe.' It's about tortured souls and what not, and how they like to feed off people's energy. I did that for a long time myself (can we say, my entire 30's?) Anyhow, growing up is all about self-awareness and changing your ways, becoming a better version of yourself, as I like to do every year. (haha) Enjoy. -BB
11.06.21 Double 8’s (Poetry, 2021)
"Double 8's" was a poem I recently wrote about one of my old roommates nearly 30 years ago. He was one of those gorgeous bad boys. I seemed to attract them like flies! Enjoy - BB

"Roosevelt Park" appeared in my personal poetry book from Feb-Mar 2012 entitled 'Gold Avenue.' This was written after I'd moved to New Mexico only two months prior. Enjoy!
