  • A Bright Side

    The last few days have been hell for me: a slow, psychological, self-induced torture.  I can’t help but worry or think when I know it should be left alone.   Sure, they make pills for that, but I hate taking pills.  Pills might fix the worrying, but they will hose up something else.  Worrying keeps me…

  • A Good Day… sort of

    Well… I was not the happiest of campers today.  Too many things on my mind.  With a plethora of complications and thoughts, my stomach was all tied in knots, and I have barely eaten or slept in days.  To top it off, the water in the wood burner decided to boil today as a door…

  • 100th Post and Editing

    I just realized, as I was going to start this post, this is my 100th post.  Should I be thrilled or depressed?  Frankly, I doubt anyone gives a shit.  It isn’t like this is my 100th episode of a TV drama that I star in.  Not to be negative, I have stuck with this for 100…

  • 90% is Easy… Last 10% is Hard

    I do not know why finishing tasks is so difficult.  It’s like the first 90% is super easy and just flows together, but that last 10% kicks me in the ass.  “The Amanai Deception” is written.  First round of editing is done.  I just have to fix the pieces, reread, and fix the last remaining items. …

  • Just Fleas on a Dog?

    Life eats life.  The smallest of organisms are feasted upon larger organisms who, in turn, are eaten by even larger organisms.  Likewise, the smallest of organisms feast off of the larger organisms.  We can eat animals like deer, but the ticks feast on the deer (and sometimes us).  We humans are not always the top…

  • Good Help…?

    Why is it so hard to find good help?  Seriously!  I’m willing to pay more than a fair wage, but most people who apply, do not want to really work.  They just want paid for doing nothing.  If I am paying top dollar, I expect a high caliber worker.  Don’t call me the morning of…

  • I Love a Good Argument

    I love arguing.  I do not argue in malice.  It is more of a debate.  I have taken up stances I do not agree with just to debate and have some fun, to keep people on their toes.  The key to arguing is not trying to convince the other person they are wrong.  That rarely happens. …

  • Not So Worthless…

    Generally, I think sports are pretty worthless.  Unless you’re really, really good (freak of nature good), you won’t make any money at it.  It is a complete waste of time watching (although I am guilty of that).  My son plays football, and it is now football season.  I’m not fond of wasting tons of gas…

  • I Do Not Care About Your Opinions…

    I really do not care about your opinions.  That does not mean I do not respect your input or the fact you have an opinion.  In fact, I am grateful you can think for yourself, assuming that is what you are doing.  What I do not want is to hear your opinions in an endless…

  • Hurry Up and Wait

    I hate hurrying just to wait.  It seems like everything is like that.  Hurry through traffic just to wait in line at the BMV.  Hurry through school just to wait trying to find a job.  Hurry to buy a car because I really want (or need) it and wait hours while someone fills out three large…
