I Work for a Living
I had a short conversation with an ROTC cadet. He seemed competent so far as he’s been trained. Reminded me a little of myself 40 years ago. He called me sir at the end of the call and without thinking I said, “Don’t call me Sir. I work for a living.” The sergeants would tell…

Perfect
Tonight is perfect. I can’t tell you why. I’m kinda hosting a party where I’m also the biggest guest. Or else I’ve been drinking coffee and THC tonight. Hard to tell really. Am I sufficiently objective to navigate my life or am I just high? Stay Awesome, Stay Weird, or Stay Perfectly Away!

House and Home
Growing up I was taught that a house was not necessarily a home and that a home wasn’t necessarily a house. But some of the things that make a good house are essential for a good home.

Counter Culture
Danny and I were arguing whether hippies were counter culture as the textbooks say or if they were the main culture in ascent. But it’s late, I’m high, and I needed to start my fast. So we had to end our phonecall. Stay Awesome, Stay Weird, or Stay Away.

Inactive or Feral
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints would consider me an inactive member when it considered me at all. But “inactive” is boring and weak. I don’t want to be as lame as that sounds. I have begun to refer to myself as a feral Mormon. That sounds weird and a little dangerous.…

So Darn Sleepy
I’m laying on the couch looking up at my screen and wondering why I am extra tired. Mind you I’m always tired. But today has been especially tiring. I got up when I’m supposed to and did all the work I regularly do. I had some fun today and several intellectually stimulating conversations. Maybe it…

Relaxing
I’ve been up for 36 hours. I’m starting to get tired. I’ve taken my meds again. Hopefully this time they’ll knock me out. My muscles are a little tight too. Maybe I need some Naproxen. At any rate I need some sleep. May your dreams be weird and awesome.

Stand Up For Yourself
The world is full of jerks. Don’t let them win if you can help it. I don’t know who all of you need to read that but some of you do. Stay weird. Stay awesome. And stay firm.
