So many ideas, so little everything else!
Keeping a tiny notebook and pen nearby at all times (at least around the house) is a new habit. A good one, as it’s making it easy to capture all the various things I want to blog about, a not so good thing in that I’m easily jotting down one to five topics a day….

Wagon Conundrum
I can never remember if it’s getting on the wagon or falling off the wagon. Anyway, long and short of it, yesterday I had a wagon based event. It all started out innocently enough. I was working–the literal kind one does to earn their daily bread–on a project that should have been complete a month…

A Letter to Trump Supporters
Let me clear: If you still support Donald Trump you’re openly supporting a convicted sex criminal. While he was not convicted of rape, he was convicted of sexual assault as well as defamation resulting in a five million dollar penalty. So to those supporters who claim they support “Law and Order” I ask: how can…

Well, we did that again…
So yeah, it’s been over a week since I last wrote. Wasn’t feeling well. That’ll be a popular but regular topic here (so you might want to get used to it). I’ve been stopping smoking for the millionth time. I’m really good at it. But nicoteen is really good at keeping me emotionally stable, providing…

Books from the Weekend
As mentioned previously, last night’s posting got buggered so I’m doing the only natural thing possible, I walked to the neighborhood dive, ordered a shot of Jack Daniels, and am rewriting that entry (at least the bits about the books I purchased this weekend). Without further ado, the books I purchased this weekend: How Fascism…

URL Goes Here
Damnit. After getting into the habit of writing a before bed blog post as my “write a daily blog post” excercise last night I accidently deleted it today. That’s not to say I didn’t attempt publishing it last night, but I’ve been writing a Powershell script to write and publish from my Ubuntu Server laptop….

Oy vey, it’s going to be a hot one!
Alright, I did it–the weather was simply too good not too–I went for my first outside run in years. It wasn’t easy. One, I’ve never done particularly well in warmer temperatures. Indeed, my ideal temperature range is from 72 to 80 degrees: outside of that I’ve gotta dress up and hunker down or dress down…

Tired…
12 hour day. 10 hour day. 12 hour day. Early morning meetings. I’m not a morning person. So fucking tired. So fucking tired. I keep trying to get into a normal-healthy schedule. Much easier now that I work from home. Still hard because my job is unpredictable. Usually (in this industry), Decembers tend to quiet…

Generalizations and Projection
Generalizations are dangerous. “All Christian’s believe _________.” “Every Republicans supports ________.” “I am always thinking about ways to become rich and famous.” I try not to use generalizations. When I do, it’s generally intentional. But the reason I wanted to write about generalizations is not in relation to my goal to only use them when…

The Gym
I have gone to the gym four times this week: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday (today). Given my dislike of public displays of exercise over my lifetime this is an all time record. That’s not to say I didn’t go every other day (or so) when I was signed up for the fancy gym two…
