Arbitrary Madness. Artistic Exploration. Dope Things.
My most common, immediate response to news of a terrorist attack is the affirmation that I won’t respond with fear or hate. After Ariana Grande’s concert was bombed, I sided with those that felt the tour should go on. Living your life in fear of what could happen is hardly a life to live at all.Continue Reading “Change fear.”
I would give this book 5/5 stars, but I had to deduct at least one star for her interest in topics that are too painful for me to ever read again. I have this beautiful habit of reading a chapter of a book first thing in the morning, to start my day off right. Well,Continue Reading “Difficult Women.”
The funniest moment I’ve ever had with my brother. We were at his house talking with the TV in the background when One Punch Man caught our attention. If you’re not familiar, One Punch Man is a show about a man who can pulverize his opponents with just one punch. In fact, he’s so good it boresContinue Reading “One punch man.”
Once upon a time, I went to a baseball game. It was early in the game so I had to stand for the national anthem. No biggie to many. For me it made my back itch. This was after Colin Kaepernick was called a mouthful of disgusting names for kneeling during the National Anthem, butContinue Reading “The National Anthem.”
Today I looked in the mirror for the gazillionth time and asked myself if I was pretty. Not out loud in the obvious way, but subtle in the way I checked my legs, my stomach, and the broadness of my shoulders. In my mind I wondered if my upper body was getting too masculine and ifContinue Reading “Vanity or…?”
You know what’s annoying and overused? The expression, “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” Just stop it. Along the same lines, fuck the expression, “You can’t have your cake and eat it, too.” I will eat my cake and still save all the parts that have my name written on it if I damn wellContinue Reading “Plain old bullshit.”
In one of the last books I read, the author recommended a quote that I had to google. It’s by Marianne Williamson, and as soon as I read it I decided I needed to write it down and post it somewhere I can see it everyday. Not just print it, but write it so I couldContinue Reading “Be big.”
Apparently I’ve got money on my mind. After finishing Rich Dad, Poor Dad I jumped into Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill and the first thing I need to say is whoa. There’s a whole lotta shit going on here. Let’s dissect. Hill starts the book with a very compelling story. Twenty years before theContinue Reading “Think and Grow Rich.”
I’ve been on this apple kick where I slice an apple first thing in the morning. Every day, at 5:15 am, I slice and eat an apple. When the apples ran out I decided to try some of the apple sauce in the fridge. Super win. It was this Mott’s Natural Applesauce that was just everythingContinue Reading “A tale of two applesauces.”
Today was a rough day. The usual stuff, you know. Not enough sleep. Not enough sun. Constant rain. Bullshit problems at work. By 10am I was frazzled, by 2pm I was pissed, and by 4pm I was ranting and leaving work early. When my mom gets like that I tell her she should meditate. Today I had toContinue Reading “Be still.”
