    A Message

    October 3, 2024

    I have the urge to write poetry. The first one is what I came up with. The second one is AI’s rewrite. The final quatrain we worked together on. I definitely need to keep practicing. This feeling I can’t shake,The urge is too great.I have a desire to unfold,A message to be told. Found the meaning to it all,While sitting outside in the fall.For my friends, I will share,In hopes to show that I care. The reason for everything,It’s purpose and design.A beautiful intricate scene,Where all things intertwine. This feeling’s grip won’t let me be, The urge is far too…

    Lone Wolf with Wi-Fi

    October 3, 2024

    I don’t know. I tend to feel out of place quite often. There is one place that I feel entirely in place, and that is next to Bubba. In all seriousness though, I tend to feel out of place most times. I have a difficult time around people because I’m always worried that I am doing something or saying something wrong. I’ve always felt different from everyone. I feel as though I think and act in a way that is incongruent with most people. “Loneliness is the poverty of self; solitude is the richness of self.” May Sarton Here, I’ll…

    Insomnia strikes

    October 2, 2024

    In the quiet hours when the world’s asleep, I tread the thin line where shadows creep. The clock ticks softly, a mocking refrain, While thoughts … Insomnia strikes You’ll have to excuse my poor grammar, I’m writing on my iPad. I was reading poetry before bed and stumbled across this great poem. I really wanted to share it so here it is. The author did a great job.

    To sleep…

    October 2, 2024

    I napped today, so now I can’t sleep tonight. Overall, I think today was a good day. There was some fighting in the house, but it was resolved before everybody went to bed. The fighting was over a PlayStation cable. It all seems so arbitrary now. “A true friend is someone who thinks that you are a good egg even though he knows that you are slightly cracked.” Bernard Meltzer Bubba’s been much more active. For a while, he was pretty lethargic. I think it’s from the multiple tick-bites that he has. And the fleas. The flea bath has worked…

    What to do…

    October 2, 2024

    I’m taking a lunch break from work right now. During this break, I’m sitting and drinking coffee with my friend, Amanda. We’re watching the news together. It’s important to stay up-to-date on the world news, certainly. But the amount of sensationalism is out of control. It’s difficult to describe just how much of the news is opinionated fluff. That’s not to mention the political bias that is built into it, taking the form of propaganda. The news is like a crazy soup mixture of bullshit. Utter bullshit. I’m debating whether or not to put a vulgar language warning on here.…

    Vastly Different

    October 2, 2024

    Well, there are a couple of ways one could approach this daily prompt. Answering this prompt would be different if you were to propose that I lived my whole life without a computer, or if computers suddenly disappeared. It would be devastating to know about computers and have them disappear. Not only emotionally devastating but also society would collapse and that would make things difficult. lol My daily life without a computer would look a lot different than what it is now. Everything I do is on computers. I work on my laptop. I talk on my cell phone. I…

    Social Cues

    September 30, 2024

    I wanted to get this out of the way early today because I’m hoping to get those titles in Overwatch 2. What details of my life could I pay more attention to? Perhaps subtle cues from other people. I don’t always do well at reading between the lines. People drop hints and they go right over my head typically. It makes for frustrating experiences. About 6 months ago I took an online test for Autism. I know, it’s probably not hugely accurate but I scored like 77% on the spectrum. Since then, I’ve periodically wondered if that is perhaps why…

    Without a title

    September 28, 2024

    I’m opposed to hard work. I much prefer smart work. I suppose I am just trying to avoid answering this question. No, you know what. Now that I think on it deeper, what happens if you start something and you think it’s going to be a simple project, but then it turns out to be a bigger project and hard work, but you see it through. I mean, if we’re going to go with that scenario, I suppose that feels good. I started to write that earlier this afternoon. Now it’s almost 8pm at night and I’m finishing it on…

    Premium No Political Commercials

    September 27, 2024

    I’m so tired of political commercials. I think they’re an assault. lol Seriously, though. I was thinking about them as they were on, trying to drown them out with my thoughts and I came to thinking… Maybe there should be a premium subscription to get rid of political ads. I bet that the media companies would make a killing on that and it would give us the opportunity to breathe. As someone from the US, I’m disillusioned by politics. Getting that out in print felt nice. But, let’s be real here. At least in the presidential elections, it’s completely frustrating…
