Photo Friday: Family
A shot of my mom, brother and me when I was a baby: I was a chubby baby… I’ve no idea where this was taken. Probably in Chicago/Berwyn/Cicero area. Possibly Kentucky. My brother looks like a dork! (He’d say the same thing) ...
Writing Journal Y2 Day 215
As I mentioned earlier this week, I lost a days worth of writing to a bug. This depressed me immensely. Not just because I lost the writing, but because of the sheer amount of words gone in one fail swoop. I woke up that morning with a full...
Wednesday Doodle
At a pretty young age, I found out people would just GIVE you ‘scratch paper’. It was like recycling, only they didn’t turn it into brown, scratchy napkins from Taco Bell. No, this paper could be used to DRAW ON… FOR...

The amusing thing I did that made people on Twitter laugh
Who has two thumbs and is a news junkie?! *thumbs up and pointed at himself* Among my various rss subscriptions and news feeds that I follow, I also have a couple setup to feed me ‘weird, odd or strange’ news items. They tend to take...
Just Let It Go?
It’s kind of weird. I’m already in a funky mood due to the events happening in Aurora today, so maybe this just hit me at the wrong moment – I don’t know. I needed to run some errands; bank, gas, store. Bank was a breeze...
Photo Friday: Writer’s Block
I shared this on Twitter, but thought it was worth a post: I call it ‘writer’s block’. You can see Shadow the Cat sitting on the desk BETWEEN me and my laptop. Sigh. This is a usual occurrence. He comes downstairs, crying, I...
New Website
Well, I am splitting things up a little. In an attempt to broaden my employment horizons, I have created a new website, PatrickHester.com, that will serve a dual purpose. 1st, the new site is an online resume. I have listed my work experience...
