    Art comes in all forms

    October 7, 2024

    Who are your favorite artists? Recently, I read a blog post about Van Gogh. It would be impossible for me to find the blog post in the sea of blog posts, but it was interesting to learn how he never experienced fame while alive. Well, not so much interesting as it was sad to learn. An artist I’ve always loved has been Lady Gaga. I know she’s somewhat controversial, but I could pick worse. Stevie Nicks has been coming up into my awareness a lot lately. Like the universe has been wanting me to listen to her music. I decided…

    Putzing Around

    October 6, 2024

    What is your favorite hobby or pastime? I’ve responded to this prompt in the past. I enjoy playing video games in my free time. I also tend to putz around a lot in my free time. For example, what I’m doing right now I would consider this to be putzing around. Just like yesterday, I’m having a difficult time waking up this morning. I even had a Starbucks Double Shot. I’m sitting here yawning and watching Good Morning America. I saw the news segment, about the mudslides after hurricane Helene. It’s hard to see all of those people suffering. Now…

    Late Night

    October 6, 2024

    I have a feeling I’m going to have difficulties sleeping tonight. I think I’m going to try my sleeping pill because I feel like I have too much energy. I’m typing this on my iPad again, but this time I’m using a Bluetooth keyboard. I wish I had a desk to work at. When I worked on desktops all the time, the thought of a laptop seemed nice. But, not that I can’t sit still because of RLS, a desk seems nice. It’s difficult to have a laptop in one’s lap all of the time. What I would like to…

    Autumn Sunset

    October 5, 2024

    Overall, today was a pretty good day. Aside from the fact that we forgot to pay the rent. We’ll have to pay it on Monday. I was hoping to get more work done today, but I got a couple of hours in which I think is pretty good for a Saturday, especially for a Saturday like today. It was in the mid-70s and only partly cloudy. It was gorgeous out. There aren’t going to be many more of these days. As I’m typing this out, the sun is setting and I’m listening to my liked playlist on Spotify. There’s a…

    Rebuild

    October 5, 2024

    What would you do if you lost all your possessions? If I lost all of my possessions, I would be very upset for a while. But eventually I would start working toward rebuilding. I’m typing this on my iPad so excuse me if it’s not too long. It’s a gorgeous day outside. I’m outside with friends today. They’re having a cookout. I feel fortunate to be able to enjoy the nice weather. I think the burgers are done. I scarfed one down. I was really hungry. I’m going to keep this post short.

    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.…
