Followers and Influence
I want more followers but I won’t beg. I want more influence but I won’t sell my soul to promoters. So I quietly plug along hoping to at least be a little interesting. The algorithm doesn’t love me. But I’m confident that it doesn’t love you either. Likes and clicks are no match for real…

Vitamin C
I woke up this morning with the SpongeBob song Scurvy in my head. I decided to take a vitamin c because that how the song goes and I figured it was telling me something. I am a firm believer that vitamin c is good for my health. Danny disagreed. He says there are no benefits…

Sick Day
Just kidding. I don’t get sick days. I am on call for the boys 24/7 regardless of whether I’m feeling lousy. I got some extra sleep but my mouth is still cooked and my nose is still running. I am not in good health today. Hopefully I can get some more sleep tonight and wake…

Interfering With My Agency

Unrest

Works Alone

Diced Almonds
Stephanie just went and got a pint of ice cream for each of us. She bought plain chocolate for me and a jamocha blend for herself. Her ice cream looked good but she said it had chunks. I asked what kind and she told me there were diced almonds in it. I agreed that I…

Tamed
I was a very free man a long time ago. I sometimes describe that time in my life as living on the edge of society in the center of town. I also sometimes describe it as my gray period. I did a lot of soul searching when I was left to my own devices. I…

Wearing My Food
I am a sloppy eater. That hasn’t always been the case. In my grey period I read a book that said if every person wasted one grain of rice that waste could have fed a small village for years. I didn’t want to let a crumb food go to waste. I certainly didn’t like throwing…
