I watched as Nathan and his newly arrived friends packed up their luggage in the car. Nathan's friends, a boisterous group of four, had orchestrated a last-minute bachelor party trip to Las Vegas.
"Remember, no crazy stuff," I told Nathan jokingly.
Nathan, ever the calm one, just gave me a reassuring nod.
"Don't worry about it, Daniel. We'll get this one back safe and sound," ...
2024-02-18 14:45:42 +0000 UTC View PostI was going to Orlando this weekend for a Percy Jackson fan event. The book had gotten more popular here than it was in the original world.
Matt and John were coming with me, as I had gotten tickets for WrestleMania 24. It was shaping up to be a fun weekend.
"I can't wait for Friday," Matt said from my side.

"The only part I hate is...

“Mitchell, we are having a celebrity over. It’s all part of the experience,” Cam explained.
Mitchell leaned against the kitchen counter, eyeing the flurry of activity as Cam moved around the kitchen.
"Really, Cam? A red carpet?" Mitchell couldn't h...
2024-02-15 06:00:46 +0000 UTC View PostHaley tapped her foot impatiently, scanning the crowd for any sign of Daniel. She looked at her reflection in the glass window nearby to adjust her hair. She was about to pull out her phone to send a strongly worded text, thinking he had bailed on her, but then she was approached by a figure in a hoodie and sunglasses. Confused and a little freaked out, she took a step back.

2024-02-13 14:36:36 +0000 UTC View PostI entered the freshman history class; today was the day we had to complete the group project. I saw that Haley had already arrived, which was unusual for her. She locked eyes with me, and a smug smile formed on her face.
Oh, did she really complete the project alone?
"Are you ready?" she asked as I took my seat.
"For what?" I inquired.
"To take me shopping," Haley respon...
2024-02-12 17:55:53 +0000 UTC View PostDaniel: "So, how is the project coming along?"
Haley: "It’s coming along great, actually!"
Daniel: "Really?"
Haley: "Yes, the only thing you have to worry about is having enough money for me when you take me shopping 😜"
I put my phone down.
Is she really going to do it, I thought, as my eyes went to the papers I had just printed out. There was no way I was lea...

"So, Daniel, huh? Where do I start? I mean, the first I heard of him was through Alex years ago; he was all Alex could talk about—'Daniel Adler this, Daniel Adler that.' Honestly, it was so annoying. Then I actually met him, and... well, it's complicated. I thought he was a prick, you know, like some celebrities, and I didn’t like the fact that Alex basically wors...

“Yes Jessica is cheating on her boyfriend” Haley answers.
“But you said they weren't dating so it’s not really cheating is it”
“That’s old news you are way behind”
“Well you are my primary source after all” I replied back.
“So he caught her making out….” Haley went on….
The class I had to at...

2024-02-10 22:27:16 +0000 UTC View PostI was walking through the crowded hallway with Matt, John, Lucia, and Joanna, both Matt and John ribbed me about the unusual situation I faced.
"Hey, Danny, if someone tries to bully you, tell them you're friends with some sophomores," Matt teased.

2024-02-10 14:27:10 +0000 UTC View PostThe Blair Witch Project was poised to be my first venture into the realm of live-action cinema. Although I had lent a hand in scriptwriting, my role from this point forward was mostly observational. I was also a producer of the project since I would be financing half of it. Jason Waller, Sam and Dave’s good friend, would be directing the movie. He did have experience in the industry but was n...

"Damn, the views just keep climbing," I murmured to myself.
A peculiar blend of amusement and embarrassment washed over me as I replayed the video. It was merely a small segment of a video from the party I attended.
