In life, who makes the jester laugh? Or is the jester just someone who is a keen observer and finds the humor in everything in life? I guess I can ask a comedian when I come across one, since they hold the closest profession to jesters. ​This has been a rough week for me. That’s […]

  Imagine one day you decide to take a different way home from work than you usually do. You decide to take a new path that you’ve never taken before. It’s late at night, and you’re unfamiliar with where you are. Your car runs out of gas, your cell phone battery is dead, and you

  I think I’m going to begin incorporating photography back into my blog. The first time I started this blog back in 2019, I used photography to get inspiration on what to write about. I enjoyed it. The problem I encountered was that I gradually drifted away from it because my scope was limited at

  The Jester currently has writer’s block. I admit I’ve been distracted lately with work, my mental health, and my personal relationships, and that has impacted my ability to focus on my writing to some degree. Over the past few weeks, I told myself that I would dedicate some time to my creative writing over

  No one understood his seemingly reckless reasoning behind his unconventional desire. I mean really, he was a penguin after all, and penguins simply don’t fly. But Roger was of a different breed. Yes, he was a penguin, but from an early age, Roger would gaze up at the stars over the Arctic sky and
