There is always something you need to do every day

Buy something, send the document, do a copy of that document, call someone, cook something, clean something

My mind is always on alert and afraid of missing something

Such a great movie… it’s a technical marvel and the message still hits. It’s non-linear story telling and simple but effective way of summing up an entire life with a few key themes is powerful.

Something about my character customization loadout is limited by the lack of decal options. 😂🙄 (I'm not a nerd. Totally not a nerd, you guys. I have definitely have friends. )

I'm not even sure which aspect. Like, I have no idea what getting a tattoo could possibly explore. I also don't really know why not having a tattoo leaves that unexplored. It's not like individuality and creativity can't be explored other ways.

In any event, I'm fairly certain that until I explore [my name] + Tattoo, my evolution won't be complete.

I buzzcut my hair twice in high school. I loved it, so much easier to manage and everything showers only took 10 mins. Too bad it's not as accepted for women to have short hair compared to men.. First impressions are important. I guess I'll buzzcut it later when I'm career stable.

20 years ago: Open your flip phone and find “Fun Eric.” Tell your greasy, vaguely unsettling “dealer” you want to “meet up”. Meet up behind a bodega at night. Hand him money folded into the palm of your hand, pull your hand away and have a little baggie with a nugget of mystery weed of varying quality. Walk home, swiftly, looking around with growing paranoia as everyone in a hat might be a cop.

Now: wave pleasantly to a cop as you pull into an invitingly lit store with a name like “High Expectations Dispensary.” Be welcomed upon entry by an adorable elven 20 something who has studied for a legitimate cannabis certification and a 6’3 string bean of a young man. Share small talk in a space that feels safe and clean and describe exactly how you want cannabis to make you feel. Have them discuss with each other before they agree to suggest the blackberry CBC pearls. Pay with a credit card. Thank them both profusely, and decide to not share your name… only because you don’t want them to think you are desperate to be their friend. Before you collect your shopping bag, the owner will stop you at the door to give you the free gift of a High Expectations branded luxury beach towel.

What. The. Fuck.

if you’re articulate you’re cool

History has this air of exoticity but it's all just decor, when you dive a bit you realize that all these Ancient Emperors are the same people that you encounter in your daily life and you can find many similarities between some of your coworkers and the ancient tyrants, they just happened to be in different circumstances and I don't care about my coworkers life so I started to don't care about the Ancient Emperors either.

As a young man, I'm so grateful to the older men who uplift society. Those who are considerate, friendly, helpful. Really makes my day better. I aspire to be like them as I grow. Chivalry is alive and thriving today.

Like I'm existing in a haze. Days roll into a blur. Like I'm performing, playing a part.
I don't like pretending. But if I don't, I'll be alone.
I'd love to be on the beach, in a park, forest, mountains or whatever.
The birds singing their music.
Talking with someone. No expectations, just talk. Serious, silly, mind bending stuff.
Until then I stay numb. My edges blunted. Oh, how I long for whimsy.

People drink way too much.

I'm talking about cashiers, ticket checkers, security guards, or anything similar. Sure, sitting can prevent movement, but I want to suggest that it's fine to give them a tall stool so they can get on and off quickly. There might be some who already have it, I just want to say it should be normalized.

I was trying to say something, and my mind went blank. I pictured it as a large, sunny, empty room, high up. It was peaceful and blissful. Then I remembered.
