Don't live the American dream. Live your dream.

  • 7/11

    Today should be a special day for 7/11 employees everywhere. It fits.   Free slushies for everyone! Yesterday was Chick-fil-a’s Cow Appreciation Day.  Since any corporation or organization can declare (or own) a specific day or an entire month, 7/11 should be able to do so to… if they haven’t already had. Another day of self… Read more

  • 6/24

    I got a wild hair up my butt today and called a plumber. Floridians tend to have this unique way of setting up their washer and dryer – in the garage… which is really weird for anyone up north. Anyway, for some time now when the washer drains, the water backs up into the utility… Read more

  • 6/13

    I made yesterday harder for me than I needed to. First, I’ve been really good about skipping my Prozac for the past couple of days.   The last time I did that was a couple of years ago when I had a not-so-friendly panic attack.   I felt shamed because of the distress that I underwent and… Read more

  • Social media and socialism

    For some reason, I get the feeling that people may not, generally, understand what socialism means. We’ve lived in a capitalistic democracy since America was conceived.    We’re bombarded with socialism tendencies, favoritism, and fears so much that we truly can’t get an idea of what it means to be a socialist.  I imagine it’s… Read more

  • Hero Journey (Jason)

    I don’t believe in a lot, but I believe that we’re protagonists in our own story… sometimes.  I guess it depends on what day it is.   But, over that, I believe in patterns.    Patterns of behavior.   Patterns of history.  Patterns of society. So, while we’re protagonists, there’s a pattern that we follow.    Sometimes,… Read more

  • Queen identification (Snow White)

    I’ve indulged in the time-wasting click bait of what type of animal, princess, or Happy Days character am I.   Okay, so maybe not the Happy Days one, but you get the idea. These things don’t really mean anything and it’s painfully obvious that the questions are uninspired.  The outcome could be whatever you want. Well,… Read more

  • 5/13

    Okay. This week… Today, I took the truck to Seymour for an airbag repair recall.   The truck is some 8 years old and there’s still recalls on it?   Damn. Tomorrow, Tuesday – Day with the little brother.   That probably means the gym and seeing Detective Pickachu. Wednesday is all about the little sister. Hoping for… Read more

  • 5/7

    I’ve been in an odd sort of mood lately. Well, I’m always in an odd sort of mood.   But, that’s beside the point. I’ve been noticing things lately.  Not good things.  Things that are a bit worrying. During my anorexic years, I became increasingly aware of the shapes of other people. I wasn’t cruel to… Read more

  • 5/5

    Today has been kind of odd. I skipped out on my Sunday morning workout and walked around in Mill Race for about three hours.  I got there around 7am.   It was a bright and beautiful day, but couldn’t get above 65 for some reason.    With the wind, it was kind of chilly, but in… Read more

  • 4/29 – free writing

    Tomorrow, I need to take my fakey Boniva.  It’s not the named branded stuff, but I guess it serves the same purpose.    Okay, it’s not tomorrow.   Rather May 1st. Tomorrow I see Endgame with little bro and sister after going to the gym with little bro. Experiment —- Actually going to try to free… Read more
