Somehow I missed drafting this prompt, too. I don’t even know. Fantasy vacation. Where do you go, what do you do, who are you with? ~0/Vacation/All I ever wanted/Vacation/Had to get away/Vacation/Meant to be spent alone/o~ I love that song. But if you listen closely it’s really sad. As for the prompt, this was actually … Continue reading “Eight”
Writing about doing NoJoMo again, more. I’ve written every day in November starting in 2010. It was a thing that was going around on OD before it went MIA for awhile. The first time I did it, I’d just married my wife the month before. Yes, she’s still my wife, despite my unintentional attempts to … Continue reading “One”
I started writing this on Thursday, but got distracted. I’ve sortakinda been off work since Tuesday, and trying to figure out what to do with myself. See the title. I’ve been trying to burn built-up leave. When you go, what, five years without any paid time off, you grow accustomed to just working all the … Continue reading “Learning to Relax”
Last night’s discussions were somewhat infuriating. Though his prescriptive pretention annoys the living shit out of me sometimes, I do listen to Mike O’Meara normally a couple of days a week. One of concepts that comes up on his show more than a little is the concept of “douchebag thirties.” For dudes, especially single dudes, … Continue reading “Fifteen”
Going to free-write today, but I did dig up something from the archive. What i picked up on with the explosion in Beirut yesterday was definitely the big story. Ended up having a bit of a conversation on Twitter about it; you can click and read…. Other stuff? Well, typical things with work. I hate … Continue reading “Five”
Focusing on August. I’ve spent the past two days largely trying to sit through enthralling courses to earn credits to pay my fucking protection for the certification that lets me keep working. It does make me want to give up. You spend hours upon hours watching people read fucking Power Point slides, then do virtual … Continue reading “One”
I woke up, not alarmed (and this is where my scarred Gen X brain goes….), but, um, cross. I don’t know why, exactly. I really do want something where I don’t have to really do anything for awhile. I thought that I had a doctor’s appointment first thing today, too, and ended up twiddling my … Continue reading “Twenty-seven”
Well, today’s been spent trying to figure out how to pay my protection racket to a professional organization that shall remain nameless. At least the guys in the fancy suits actually provide something worthwhile. And the restaurant suggestions they give generally turn out to be worhtwhile. I’m also having major reflections on the NFL after … Continue reading “Just No”
Where did the Non-aggression principle touch you? Listening to this right now, after seeing a friend on the cesspool that is Facebook blame everything that’s bad in the world on libertarianism. Que? You can go through life without forcing people to live you in the way others deem appropriate. Sure, this is very much influenced … Continue reading “A Question”
Today’s chllenge: Clean out something/somewhere in your house or fix something you have been putting off fixing. Post on the chat wall – what did you do today? My question on the message board was something along the lines of how do you take a picture of GNU Tar? Well, actually, the one on this … Continue reading “Twenty-seven”
