    A couple of days ago, I felt almost broken. Not fully broken mentally or physically. Just severely cracked. I think I was feeling kind of peaceful. Kind of accepting. There wasn’t a reason to struggle or fret. I certainly wasn’t in the ‘everything will be okay’ camp but was just tired. It takes a lot Read more

    Today…. today, I’m trying not to be as stressed out as I’ve been all week. I’m trying to keep the insanity, panic, and anxiety to a minimum. I’m trying not to feel guilty, unloved, or upset. Rationally, I know there isn’t a need for any of those emotion. They don’t apply. There’s a lot of Read more

    Recently, I’ve been fairly obsessed with finding expired food. I’ve started to go through Mom’s fridge and the one at the house. Today, I crawled through part of the kitchen cabinets. So far, my victims have included:– Peppermint flakes, that expired in 2017– Rice cakes – 2023– Mustard – 2016– Chicken salad – 2023– Wings Read more

    Well, I finally did it.  I brought some sort of legitimacy to my blog.  I actually paid for a two year subscription at 40% off, of course.    I am now unofficially and officially a paying customer and part of the WordPress community.   What is so frustrating is the process. I started this blog when I got out Read more

  • 10/20 – Biden examination

    Is the election over yet? If I hold my breath and cross my eyes, will all of this political nonsense be over? I mean, come on. Everything that’s going on just shows America’s slimy underbelly. It’s just pathetic. Not just the politics, but the attitude of Americans. Trump is infected with Covid. Thousands wish him Read more

    From the local paper  –  Dated July 18, 2020. Stick with me here. I’m looking at word choice, not content. INDIANAPOLIS Two men were charged Friday in an assault on a Black man during which someone threatened to ‘get a noose’ after claiming… . In a typical newspaper style, the sentence is like two paragraphs Read more

    A Letter on Justice and Open Debate This article is kind of funny. From what I can make out from it — as writers like to use a lot of big words, especially when they’re together, these people are feeling that the liberal arts are being threatened. This would include writers, journalists, and artists of Read more

    It’s been kind of a lonely holiday. It’s just me, chilling, all by myself.   Which isn’t bad.  My alone time allows me to self-repair and I got a lot of stuff to fix.  This is good. Didn’t go to the gym today.    Rather, I walked 145% of my Samsung step count downtown.  I’m Read more

    I don’t know what to say. Some people wear masks to the store, in their car, and even at the gym. Good for them. Some people don’t wear masks. I’m in the non-mask wearing side. No one, even my 70+ year-old-mother doesn’t wear a mask she goes out.    This whole family are non-maks when Read more

    I shoulda went to the gym today and then did some running, but I didn’t do that.   Instead, I spent two hours at the park making myself feel really silly. You see, I spent a silly amount of energy on Wizards United trying to get a fracking owl lecturn to prepare for this weekend’s Read more
