  • 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…

  • No one seems to mind

    I haven’t been on social media much in the past couple of days. I’ve been spending the time I usually reserve to argue with strangers on the internet with one of my favorite video games. The internet has (to not much of a surprise) gone on without me. If you know where I am and…

  • 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

    I have been arguing the past week over whether freedom means the ability to choose just what is good or whether I am not really free unless I can choose evil. My primary sins are coffee, tea, beer, THC, and porn. If my agency to indulge myself were taken away I would be less free.…

  • Unrest

    The house is quiet right now, but I’m thinking about all the unrest here and abroad. I’m feeling particularly powerless to change any of it. In a few hours it’ll be Fast and Testimony Sunday. I do not have plans to go to church but I intend to fast and pray for a more peaceful…

  • Works Alone

    Tonight I am a little high. That usually makes me a bit more Trinitarian, but tonight I am finding myself rejecting God. Not just my usual “God’s grace doesn’t exist” but rather a full blown case of “There are no gods and only my labor can save me.” Get better every day through effort every…

  • 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…
