  • I do not trust my instincts

    Do you trust your instincts? “The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?” Jer 17:9 KJV In a culture that fights between logic and rationality on the one hand and following our hearts and doing what we love on the other, I tend to lean into the former. This…

  • The Choice

    450 am CT. I just woke up from a dream where I was arguing with my wife. It was the argument that I’ve had in a thousand forms with a hundred people. I argued that the choice between good and evil was more important than the choice to be good. She (and so many others)…

  • Unpopular Opinion: Pictures

    I don’t know why people work so hard to make paintings and drawings look like photographs. Photography is a perfectly sound art form. Imitating it seems unproductive and a general waste of time. If I want art that looks like a photo, then I’m just going to take a photo. If I’m going to make…

  • The Spring Months

    What’s your favorite month of the year? Why? I don’t think I have a favorite month per se. I prefer spring to the other seasons so in any given year it is likely that I will prefer April or May the most. Of those two my preference will likely fall on may because of Easter…

  • A Chinese Restaurant

    What is your favorite place to go in your city? One of the things that our city boasts is that we have the second oldest continuously running Chinese restaurant in the United States. It is amazing food, and while I don’t want to eat Chinese restaurant food every day, it is certainly a good treat.…

  • Capable

    What’s the first impression you want to give people? I have trouble with imposter syndrome. I very often feel that I am not good enough to be where I am doing what I am doing. So I like to get reinforcement that I am enough and that I do enough. When people see me as…

  • My Last Beer

    I just finished the last beer in the house an hour ago. I have almost completely decided to try to get sober again. I don’t know but I think the last beer was the LAST beer.

  • Sleeping All Morning

    I got about eight hours of sleep despite being up very late. I’ve got a small headache but otherwise feel pretty good. Yesterday was a weird day which is usually good or at least feels good. But I am a firm believer in unintended consequences, so just because it feels good doesn’t mean it is…

  • Didn’t you just ask this?

    If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? Here I said here last time and I still choose to be here.
