What is your favorite type of weather?
Rainy, chilly, dreary.
Definite hoodie weather if you go out. Tea, the couch, a book, and an optional blanket otherwise.

What do you wish you could do more every day?
Sing
Draw
Write
Here’s the thing though: I can do those things more, but I choose not to.
Every time i decide to do something else, I am actively choosing not to do them.
Granted, sometimes there are valid reasons – sleep, rent, actual progress on a real goal.
But can we stop pretending that it’s anything other than a choice?
That’s what bugs me.
People say, ‘i wish i had more time’.
You have the time, you just spent it on something else.
They say, ‘i had no choice!’
You did. You just chose the option that felt safe, easy, or comfortable in the moment, and that’s fine.
But understand this:
Every action you take – or don’t – is a choice. And every choice is a tradeoff. Every. Single. One.

Can you imagine what would happen if people owned that shit?
Fully owned their own agency?
That’s power.

I despise drama, especially drama for its own sake. i loathe gossip. They serve zero function in my life, and their existence is therefore unnecessary.
There are maybe 3 people on the planet who can give you a moderately accurate description of what’s going on in my life at any given moment. and that’s probably a stretch.
But ya know what?
I think that’s the case with a lot of people, it’s just that there are *more* people who don’t realize that simple fact. There are those of us who keep to ourselves, and don’t give two shits what Bob in accounting had for lunch or what he said in the hallway. And life continues just fine without knowing that information.
Seriously, unless he’s eating a human body part, i couldn’t care less. And if his hall comment was that horrible, say something to him or go to HR. And don’t fucking bother me with your ‘juicy bits’ of useless bullshit.
Have a problem to figure out? Let’s brainstorm! Have a random thought or inspiration that’s been eating at you? Rock on, i will be your sounding board. Have musings bout life or the universe? Dude, we can compare notes!
Wanna bitch about how the company switched the brand of coffee they provide for free? Go away. I have shit to do.

Life is like surfing.
The waves are circumstances in your life – some of them will toss your ass off the board as soon as you think you’ve got it.
The trick is to get back on the board, find some promising swells, and pick a better wave the next time.
For the record….
I’ve never surfed a minute in my life. But i know this fits.
Carry on!

One of my mini-obsessions as a kid was rain forests. Everything about them fascinated me, especially poison dart frogs. Not only were they cute, they were dangerous!
Seriously… for whatever reason, nature decided to make these adorable little amphibians a chemical warfare delivery system. And the frogs themselves take no active part in said delivery.
Snakes, spiders and shit have to bite you…
These little dudes are passively lethal.
How fucking cool is that?!?

Who are your favorite people to be around?
My dogs.
Snicker if you want, but they know me better than my closest friends. Little Man is great at nudging me when I need a nap!

Tell us about your favorite pair of shoes, and where they’ve taken you.
My favorite pair of shoes was my Doc Martins. Steel toe, real learher, and durable as hell. Those boots carried me through two and a half of years of my college career, several breakups, and were on my feet when i walked in the door at my current company.
Snow? No problem. rain? Bring it on. Walkin all day on city streets or hiking in the woods? Comfort maintained. Versatility to the max!

I realized something this morning.
I woke up and laid in bed just thinking. I love to sing, always have. Something about the power of voice to carry the emotion and soul in its musical counterpart. That energetic interplay and how, when you get it just right, you feel that raw emotional power radiating from your being…. I love it.
Now, to be clear. I don’t sing in front of people for various reasons, but i sing all the time when i’m alone. The fact of the matter is simple.
It’s important to do the things that ignite your soul.

My dogs howl.
Specifically, they howl when a fire truck is going by, and my thought is that instinctually, they are hearing a ‘call’ and are helping the cause. lol
Anyway, because of this thought, i always thank them when they keep going after the fire truck has passed. i thank them, pet them, and tell them that they are so helpful.
last night, i was in the shower. a fire truck went by, and on cue, the dogs start howling, and they kept going… and going. I had to open the door from the shower and call out to them to thank them. they stopped almost immediately.
Cutest. Fucking. Thing. Ever.

What do you complain about the most?
I try not to complain too much. Most people have their own shit to worry about, and i have no desire to perpetuate negative energy. I would rather do something to fix the situation.
I mean, some bad days necessitate a little bitch fest, but i see that as emotional regulation. i don’t have any right to bitch for more than a minute or two about something that i’m doing nothing to change or deal with.
That said, a couple of things i do complain about:
- Rude fuckers
- Taxes
- Willful ignorance
A Peculiar Cerebral Tangle
