Just Talk
Red Flag The biggest red flag to me is a person who talks big or promises a lot but then doesn’t follow through. I had a manager that would consistently over commit. He had a great personality otherwise, but his mouth wrote a lot of checks that his butt couldn’t cash. He has been gone…

Things that will never be
Describe your ideal week. First of all I take care of my two adult disabled children. A week where EVERYTHING went smoothly for them would be an awesome one all by itself. I’d also like to stay in pajamas and make a decent living on my art. Quality time with my wife is always a…

Not Rolemodels
Name the professional athletes you respect the most and why. I don’t tend to look up to professional athletes. I’m not a sports person. I used to watch the NFL.

As usual I’ve had a few Facebook arguments and done a little art. I’ve also been entertaining myself by testing ChatBots. So even though Thursday is technically my…

Who’s to Blame?
Are you holding a grudge? About? I don’t have any grudges against people except possibly myself. I constantly perseverate over the dumb things I have done in my life. From the little things I shouldn’t have done to the things I wish I had said. I think it’s a common experience to be harder on…
