Welcome to Eph Words

This is where I now post my words. I'm Eph. I write words. Eph Words.

Get it?

I'm not realy sure what I'm doing here yet, but I expect I'm going to figure it out. I'll write about my life. I believe in radical or,perhaps more accurately, extreme transparency. I'll write about my thoughts.

You've been warned.

• History Fascinates, Appalls, and Resonates

  Posted on:February 6, 2024 |  at 03:36 AM

  (WIP) In this journey, I navigate history's breadth, from universal to intimate scales, to reveal how shared and personal stories intertwine. Focusing on Bremerton, WA, I uncover narratives of crime, innovation, and resilience that define the community. Motivated by a quest for belonging after my father's death, this exploration is both academic and personal. By delving into the lives of key figures and significant events, I aim to highlight the connections between our past and present. This endeavor serves as an ode to history's ability to engage and unite us, encouraging reflection on our individual and collective experiences.

• 2023 - Week 52 - After 52 Weeks a Smackles Form

  Posted on:December 31, 2023 |  at 06:56 AM

  Wherein I talk about my last full week of 2023, with some reflection on the year, the anticipation of 2024, recount the week's adventures (like Christmas). It's actually a pretty big post even if, like so many others I've written, it says very little of any real value or substance.

• 2023 - Week 51 - Almost a Whole Set

  Posted on:December 24, 2023 |  at 02:14 AM

  Wherein I lay out another week's events but kind of phone it in. I talk about grieving the passing of my father, talk about the week before Christmas, our Christmas Eve Eve tradition of driving past other people's Christmas lights, and I share the photo of an owl.
