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

    A long long long time ago, I came across this Chinese curse: May you live in interesting times from the introduction of a Terry Pratchett book.  I forget which one.    I think it was one of the novels about the indestructible Sam Vimes.  But, I could be wrong.   It’s been years and I had… Read more

    I’m in a unique situation. I’m the oldest of three siblings, who are all in their 40s, who still get along with each other.  I think that’s something my dad never dreamed possible when he is, in part, responsible for our unity. Sure, we think and say bad things about each other every now and… Read more

  • 4/23 – Mia Land O Lakes.

    RIP Mia – Land O Lakes icon. I knew it was going to happen. Actually, it took a lot longer than I thought. After the Washington Redskin icon protest from a couple of years ago, I thought there would be some sort of revolution to rid society of culturally (and maybe gender based) advertisement icons.… Read more

    Life continues to twist. I’m still uncomfortable with the whole stay-at-home thing, but I know it’s going to get better.    Tomorrow, we’ll probably get the car back.    That means I can go to the park and move about a bit.   In a way, it’s not a lot, but it’s something. The best part… Read more

    I’m trying to become more accepting of the entire virus situation. I have to keep reminding myself that it’s not forever. The world is just a little crazy right now, but things will even out soon. Exactly when soon (TM) is, no one knows.   A week?  A month?  Next year? But, life moves on.… Read more

    Well, this sucks. It’s in the mid-80s and the gym is closed.   The maul is closed.  The beaches close tomorrow.  The parks are probably going to close soon. It’s beautiful weather.   Not muggy.  Not rainy.   Just pretty. … and there’s nowhere for me to realistically go. This sucks – hardcore. I went walking for a… Read more

  • Coronavirus

    I’m calling bull. Yes, it’s a new virus. Yes, it kills people, but so does the common flu if you’re old or don’t take care of yourself.  Getting up out of bed in the morning can kill you.  Staying in bed can kill you.  Driving in cars can kill you.   A chicken bone can kill… Read more

    How often do I get to post on a leap day – Once every four years. How often do I remember to post on a leap day – Practically never. So, here’s my post.  =) I guess this is more like a bonus Florida day. I can’t help thinking about how Indiana is inching closer… Read more

  • A Review: Sonic (2020)

    Yesterday, I continued my one-week tradition of enjoying a $5 movie. Again, thought about seeing The Photograph and again went naahhhh.. I’d rather watch a CG animated hedgehog from a game that was never really good at. If 1917 was available, I think I would watch that but it’s long blown by.   Oh, wells. What… Read more

  • 2/18

    No lie. It’s been a rough couple of days. I know how became rough. Yesterday, I couldn’t stomach pizza and got sick in the evening. Rewind.   It started with a mass headache on 2/17.   It was so bad that I literally couldn’t think and could barely see.    But, I am who I am so… Read more
