Just the simple meanderings of a man with too much time on his hands. Feel free to contact me at any time!
Now I am working to lose weight and creating content related to my journey.
SUMO SIZED
GINGER
I’m sumo sized and ginger. This is my journey of raw authenticity, breaking digital facades, and finding truth in an age of perfect mirrors.
The Man Behind the Journey
Just the simple meanderings of a man with too much time on his hands, but with a mission to strip away the performance and find what’s real.
“No more performance here. The exquisite irony chokes. I use this sterile lens and microphone—instruments forging the digital mirror I warn against. To deliver this flesh and blood rebellion. A ghost haunting the machine.”
The Authentic Voice
In a world obsessed with digital perfection, I choose the jagged truth. My writing cuts through the algorithmic noise to expose the raw spectrum of human existence. Every word here aims to shatter the artificial shell we’ve built around ourselves.
Weight Loss Journey
Currently working to lose weight and documenting the real, unfiltered process of transformation—scars, struggles, and all.
Authentic Writing
Creating content that challenges the digital performance culture, exploring AI, mental health, and the hunger for genuine connection.
Building Community
Supporting indie authors and fostering spaces where people can drop their masks and connect with brutal honesty.
The Philosophy: Scars as Handholds
Beyond the Perfect Mirror
We’ve built machines to serve us, but instead taught them to eat our shame. Every deleted draft, every filtered photo, every authentic impulse strangled before birth—the algorithms learned our insecurities before our joy.
This space is a forge where armor cracks—not to admit light, but to expel festering poison. Here we build structures with jagged edges, solid foundations from demolished facade rubble.
The Weld Seams of Truth
Scars are not decorations. They are crude weld seams where torn flesh fought to heal. Proof of fracture violently rejoined. Run your finger along one—feel how it catches, providing grip where smooth skin slips away.
This texture allows broken things to find purchase. Perfection offers only cold, unyielding smoothness. Impossible to grasp. Show me your weld marks. Build something brutally real.

Happy to join your little community here! Look forward to reading more of your posts! Also those puppies are adorable! 😀
I liked the questions. I think it would be interesting for your readers to help them learn more about you.
I’m tagging you for “would you rather.” It is going around the book blogs and we each answer the same questions related to reading. You could check out my blog or one of these to see what it is like…

Sweet! I might just have to do one of these. Sounds nice and engaging.
I love your blog. Looks great!
Thank you, just trying to keep myself on track to sanity. Having spent time working in mental health facilities, I learned just how tenuous it can be sometimes! You’d be amazed at the people who you meet in there.

Thank you for following our blog. Through our photography and words we hope to inspire others to get out and see the world. And perhaps through those travels the world will become a smaller and less threatening place as we discover the many kindred spirits who share our passions, hopes and aspirations. As Mark Twain said, “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness.”
It’s never too early or late to discover and follow your heart. Make time for the people, work, and causes you truly care about. Cheers, Wooly and Raeski.
Thanks for the follow. Enjoying checking out your site.

Thank you for stopping by InterviewwithLucifer.com for a look and a follow. I appreciate it.
Figure I’ll be puttering my way about, and it is an interesting concept. Want to see what kind of a spin you put on the idea.
Hello, fellow traveller. You’re hilarious!
Thank you, I tend to have an over active imagination. Sometimes it makes people laugh….sometimes it gets me chased down the street with people wanting to tar and feather me. Either way, I prefer to keep it simple, and just be me.
Keep on being you. We need more laughter in this world.
(Note to self: Strap yourself to the chair to keep from rolling on the floor when reading Riley Amos Westbrook’s posts.)

I’m glad that you liked my post “Endings” and thanks for following. One of the great things about blogs is the diversity of genres represented. Your visit to my blog brought me to yours, taking me a style I don’t usually read. Thanks for visiting.
Exactly why I try to read EVERYTHING I come across. Takes me awhile, but it’s worth it.
Thank you very much for following my blog and I am returning the favour too. Have a wonderful blogging journey.
Riley, thanks for taking a look at the Hammer Home Street Photography Project.
many thanks for stopping by my blog and liking it enough to follow! Love your header!
Thanks, I have no idea who made it, but I wish I did so I could give them credit x D
Thanks for visiting and following my blog. Best wishes with your writing.
Thank you!
Thanks for following Sawyer’s adventures! Looking forward to reading more of your blog!
What can I say? Can’t wait to see more images from you! I really should just plunk down the money and buy myself a good camera, haven’t had one since I was in high school.
Hello there. Thanks for following my blog. I’m proud to say you are number 102 (and I’ve broken the hundreds barrier!). Going to trawl your pages now. Happy days!
Woot! Congratulations.
Thank you muchly!
Thanks for stopping by to check out my blog and giving me a follow. I’m always delighted to meet other writers!
Same here, I love connecting to new people. As I tell everyone, you never know what will inspire you.
Thank you for liking my post! I look forward to visiting your blog more often.
Many blessings to you!
Thank you! Hope you enjoy the stories you see!
Hi- Thanks for following my photography blog, Jane’s Lens. I hope you are inspired. Looks like an interesting blog– will enjoy looking around and reading.
Thanks, I love looking at pictures. I used to be an amateur photographer myself, but I haven’t picked up a camera in years. Maybe I will sometime soon, haven’t considered it in a long time.
Thank you to follow my blog. Hope you enjoy and like my poetry 🙂
I love all poetry and writing styles, gives me ideas for my own! You never know where inspiration will come from.
I see 🙂
Just popping over top say thanks so much for the follow on my humble corner of the blogosphere. Greatly appreciated and welcome aboard. Feel free to drop me a line with comments, recommendations etc. Will have a crawl around your blog, starting now 😃
Awesome, welcome, I hope you enjoy it!
Thanks so much for visiting and following my blog! I appreciate it very much. Best of luck to you. 🙂
Hi there! Thank you for visiting and following HoB. Much appreciated!
The mask is reminiscent of V’s of Vendatta. Any Parliment anarchy in the making?
I never rule out any possibilities. So while I say, there are no plans now, that means nothing for the future!
Btw, as for the latest post on your own blog, I tend to move on. If the book doesn’t have my interest, and I’m not being paid to read it…..
I’m doing that more these days. I do feel a twinge of guilt of quitting a book*gasp*
I used to feel a twinge doing it, too. Then I tried to read Shogun, since my dad recommended it. 998 pages later, I just couldn’t do it more than once, and I’m the guy that reads books two, three times in a row, lol
Thanks for checking out WordBowlbyMsCharlieS.com and introducing me to the fascinating worlds you are creating! Looking forward to more!
What can I say, the one thing I’ve learned about writing is the more you read, the more it inspires and helps you to perfect your own writing! Plus, the idea of the wordbowl is a beautiful idea.
Pleased to meet you.
Pleasure to make your acquaintance as well!
Greetings! How are you?
Not to bad, how about yourself?
Doing fine! I like your mask, you know.
Lol, ty. I wish I could find out who originally made it so I could credit them x D
Do you suppose it’s gold or bronze?
Not gonna lie, I see gold. But I like the idea of it being bronze now that you mention it.
Yes, me too. It means it’s stronger, and that could make you a warrior, you know.
Lol, armchair warrior maybe.
They’re probably the best kind! We could start a club or something.
I am MUCH to lazy to do that, man. The key definition of armchair, is the guy who sits at home and does nothing while telling everyone else what they SHOULD do.
Oh rats and a Heifer. But I see your point.
