    Bad Apples & Macrame

    December 22, 2024

    No. Not one bit. Horrible at it. Ask the people who care about me. My most recent ex-boyfriend is the perfect example of that. What a mess of a relationship that was. And what a mess it left my life. Is being a good judge of character something that one can develop? Don’t get me wrong, I can spot a sleazeball from a mile away. It’s those people who pretend to be good people to your face and turn around and demonstrate otherwise. My ex was a lot like that. I also think that I’m too trusting, so some of…

    Art & Video Games

    December 20, 2024

    I just got done playing some Diablo IV. I will be playing more tonight with a friend. So, I decided to take a break and write a blog post. Aside from video games, I haven’t been doing very much in my free time. I’ve been trying to spend more time focused on work. It has been interesting. I’m working on this project, I can’t go into the details but it’s very involved. There are a lot of instructions and each task takes a while. For example, I did one today that took over 2 hours. It seems like when I…

    Lazy Day Freedom

    October 17, 2024

    This is an interesting writing prompt. Do lazy days make me feel more rested or unproductive? Ultimately, both. But that doesn’t detract from how much I enjoy my lazy days. Today was not one of those days. I had to drive into town to go to a doctors appointment. I’m currently on my way home, and have a phone interview at 3:00 pm which I will probably answer while still driving back home. The job is a work-from-home job, so I’m super excited to start it. It isn’t in AI, instead I’ll be doing phone surveys with farmers. Anyway, back…

    Voting

    October 8, 2024

    What’s a topic or issue about which you’ve changed your mind? Voting. I used to be an avid voter. But since the election where Trump won, I’ve been disillusioned with voting. I’m still undecided on whether or not I will vote. I just feel that there is so much working against the voter that devalues the vote. The two-party system as well as the electoral college need to be fixed. I know that not voting won’t change anything. But I don’t think voting in the traditional sense. I think there needs to be a big change to the voting system…

    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…

    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.

    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…
