I get that people can hurt our feelings. And I also get that we need to tell people that what they’re doing hurts our feelings. And then I also get that often times people will keep on doing those things regardless of what we’ve said.

That’s just par for the life course. Our jobs are simply to speak up for ourselves and then get on with our lives, changing course as needed, and so on.

But what’s frustrating to me is when I wake up and the shit’s still on my mind. That’s the worst.

“Just get over it already” plays on loop in my head.

This really speaks to how I just can’t use formulas to navigate life. I can know all the answers and do all the right things but I still have to feel my feelings.

Happy April Fools!

Since November. So fucking much.

The world was a lot simpler when the Goo Goo Dolls were singing about her sliding into his room.

You know how they have a button on your phone that you can tap and it will power off your screen? They should have that for people, too. Tap the temple, beep, see you in an hour.

Dinner with this beautiful girl 💕

No place I’d rather be, no other I’d rather be with 💞

Also, if you’ve never been to Seviche in Louisville, Kentucky you should go.

And get the The Avocado ice cream on the desert menu. 🥑🍨

Never thought I’d be at the largest truck show in the US but here I am.

I was in a shanty town in my dream right before I woke up. A reporter had just said to me:

I’ve been sleeping with 300 kids thrown away on the back roads of estrangement.

Peeps, here’s your my-blood-is-my-own-now Wednesday jam.

Iron Maiden always had the best 80s fashion. There Adrian Smith is sporting a tie while shredding up his solo and Steve Harris is jumping around with his vertical striped tank top.

The curse it lives on in their eyes. The Mariner he wished he’d die.
Along with the sea creatures but they lived on, so did he.

Water, water everywhere and all the boards did shrink.
Water, water everywhere nor any drop to drink.

A big part of my life is just paying attention to how I feel. How I feel this morning about how I felt last night.

Because if I don’t pay attention then I have a tendency to ignore the feelings I don’t like. And that always gets me in trouble.

And then flowers, flowers everywhere and the eyes did not blink. Flowers, flowers everywhere and the heart would not sink.
