Arbitrary Madness. Artistic Exploration. Dope Things.
After two nights of partying into the wee hours of the morning, I felt like I needed to come back to myself. There are so many things that make me who I am, but there are specific things that center me and give me the feeling that my life is on track. I loved going out,Continue Reading “Defining myself.”
Once upon a time, I went to a baseball game. It was early in the game so I had to stand for the national anthem. No biggie to many. For me it made my back itch. This was after Colin Kaepernick was called a mouthful of disgusting names for kneeling during the National Anthem, butContinue Reading “The National Anthem.”
Today I looked in the mirror for the gazillionth time and asked myself if I was pretty. Not out loud in the obvious way, but subtle in the way I checked my legs, my stomach, and the broadness of my shoulders. In my mind I wondered if my upper body was getting too masculine and ifContinue Reading “Vanity or…?”
You know what’s annoying and overused? The expression, “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” Just stop it. Along the same lines, fuck the expression, “You can’t have your cake and eat it, too.” I will eat my cake and still save all the parts that have my name written on it if I damn wellContinue Reading “Plain old bullshit.”
Today was a rough day. The usual stuff, you know. Not enough sleep. Not enough sun. Constant rain. Bullshit problems at work. By 10am I was frazzled, by 2pm I was pissed, and by 4pm I was ranting and leaving work early. When my mom gets like that I tell her she should meditate. Today I had toContinue Reading “Be still.”
My job is into wellness, which is pretty cool because so am I. They reward employees for meeting physical and mental health goals, and even host workshops on random well-ness related topics. I’ve attended just two workshops, but I shit you not, both have quite literally changed my life. The first one taught me the merits of quinoa, kale, andContinue Reading “You better move.”
Happy Tuesday! In case anyone was wondering, I finally got some plants in the ground. Yes – a row of spinach and a row of cabbage! I am geeked beyond explanation and I just want to take this moment to thank my ninjas, without whom this wouldn’t be possible. For those used to disappointment (myself),Continue Reading “Garden on fleek.”
My favorite bit of advice to give people is “you can’t do everything.” Unfortunately, there’s also an accurate saying that goes, “those that can’t do teach.” Knowing this, you should “do as I say and not as I do.” Even though I try to be all things at all times, realistically, you’ve got to prioritizeContinue Reading “Wonder woman.”
I’m just sitting here trying to think about what to write, but I’m totally distracted. I’m with my dad and he’s watching the game and drinking which means he’s more hype than a five year old at Chuck E. Cheese’s. He’s either geeked or totally displeased, there’s no in between. And the talking is nonstop.Continue Reading “Hype.”
I have a friend who always feels bad when she’s “being such a bitch.” If you’re like her, I want you to open yourself up to receive this message: being nice is fucking hard. Being a bitch or an asshole means letting how you feel just roll off the tongue. Being nice is exercising the self-controlContinue Reading “Be a bitch.”
