You're A Swell Guy

The more I have opportunities for one night stands, the more I realize I'm no longer interested in casual relationships. I don't think I ever was actually. I just always hoped that the casual relationship would turn into something permanent. I've had opportunities to kiss 3 different boys this week and I didn't do it. And that's not like me. But one of them is Ernie and I want to kiss him so badly. But I don't want to just fool around with him. I want something real with someone. I know that Ernie obviously is not the one (he is irresistible, though). So I'm just lonely and my life is changing and I'm "figuring out who I am." I'm tired. I will just enjoy getting to know myself. I do like me.

It was hard to wake up this morning. The alarm was incorporated into my dreams, although I can't tell you the subject matter anymore. I could have this morning. They disappate throughout the day. I was hurting bad enough that I considered not going to work, but I have a loyalty to my team, and I don't want to make them look bad. I want to physically show up as much as I possibly can.  Getting to my desk this morning was a struggle, although I did manage to make it there with a Cookie Butter Cappuccino from the breakroom. With a swirl of caramel sauce on top. If nothing else, that fancy machine has helped much in motivating me to get to the office.  When I had disposable money, I worked through this pain much better.  I scheduled a meeting for 10 AM with a few members of my operations team. I want them to build a tool for me that tracks hours for a job. If this works out well, we'll be able to use it for other jobs and it would be a boone to our project management team. If...

A Nothing Day

-
Today has been a nothing day. I was anxious to write a few minutes ago but things turned around in a hurry. Now that I have the laptop, I've lost my inspiration. I feel like a sad sack all of a sudden. I want to be existential, talk about deep things. Not shallowness or pop culture. None of my thoughts are like I want them right now.  Maybe that's the thing: I get to choose what I think about.  My friends. That's what I chose. I don't think that's a bad call. Just did a quick check in with a few  of them. I want to invest in my friendships more. The ones that are valuable to me. Let go of all these shallow relationships.  Timer started. Cigarette lit. Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg on the speaker. I still like the radio. Keeps me on my toes. We've gotten musically spoiled where we can curate what we want in our ears, skip when something offends. With the radio, you gotta take what you're given.  Keep pushing through the timer. There are more things to say. If a ge...

The Owls of Athena

 No rushing / no fixing / no censoring There is a truth about me that I keep circling, but I haven't let myself land on yet.  I need to do laundry if I want to have pants to wear tomorrow.  If I were sitting here with no laptop, I would be thinking all sorts of abstract thoughts to jot down. But now that I have an outlet to drop thoughts, I think stupid things like, "my sweater is purple." Leah is studying the Bible again. I'm a little jealous only because it was so fun to take notes and fill a notebook with inspiration and tears and stuff. that's what i'm trying to do here. just need a kickstart.  The prompt (above in italics) makes me think of Dumbo and the Secret of NIMH and the Guardians of Ga'hoole. Owls. and flying elephants. Let's see about owls. they're in the running for a tattoo.  Owls are dualistic figures, symbolizing wisdom, prophecy, and  divine messengers  (like with Greek goddess Athena) but also death, witchcraft, and bad omens in ...
