Some days, life is kinda like pulling teeth from an angry alligator. and he hasn’t eaten in a couple of days. and you remind him of his last handler, who was a big jerk, so he really doesn’t like you. and you have a headache.

Sometimes, I am paralyzed by my own curiosity.

Why do they put mirrors behind bars? I mean, who wants to watch themselves get wasted? And speaking of, one of my favorite movie moments is in Phenomenon where John Travolta’s character breaks a mirror (behind a bar) with his mind when he’s angry.

Maybe the day had a shitty you. But you never consider that, do you? Nooo….It’s always the day that’s the shitty one!

I have had a theory/belief/mindset for a long time that there is a difference between reality – that which we perceive every day, and Reality – the truth of existence.
This is explained mainly through psychology and biology. Your past experiences color your present ones, and our biology is extremely limited in what we can actually experience via our senses. These two factors alone are enough to conclude that there is not a single human being – past, present or future – who is able to “see” reality for what it truly is.

To start, some lyrics…
People are people
People are strange
But most of all, people – speaking en masse here – are ignorant, selfish beings that literally drain life from everything. I can’t stand “people”, this is a fact. “People” are why things like war or poverty or violent intolerance or any number of horrible things exist in the first place. “People” suck, plain and simple.
Individuals, however, I can appreciate. Individuals can be kind, compassionate, helpful, willing to at least try to understand opposing views. Individuals can also have bad days where maybe they’re not as kind or forgiving as they truly are. Shit happens, I get that, I’ve done that.
I just had an interesting interaction with the dude at the convenience store. He said, “when someone is ‘people-ing’, I try to just let it go because I don’t know their story or what they’re dealing with with”. I like that. It’s similar to a good person having an “asshole-esque” moment. Sometimes, individuals have “people-esque” moments.
That said, don’t be an asshole. And don’t be a people.
I hope you have a beautiful day!

I actually witnessed this today, and it made me smile.
I left for an appointment at around 4, and to say traffic was insane would be an understatement. I was waiting in a line of traffic, and I see this car that needs to make a left into this line of traffic. Poor dude looked so stressed; I have no idea how long he had been waiting.
I left some room for him when the car in front of me pulled up a bit. He and his passenger both smiled and waved in thanks. A little ways up the road, and once we had actually started moving some, he did the same for someone else.
I must admit, sometimes I get fed up with being kind in traffic, especially if the other person doesn’t acknowledge it. Seeing someone do the same for another stranger has restored some small measure of my faith in humanity.

My boss, years ago, used to refer to Panera Bread as “Pantera Bread”, which was hilarious. I so wanted to get one of those bread bowl things, paint it black and silver and shit and give it to her, but never wound up doing it. That would have been freaking great. 🤘😆

I prefer giving belly rubs to female dogs, because there is no winky to avoid, which allows for smoother, longer passes of the hand. Just sayin.
