Thanks! i think my storage is here on my blog site. I search on certain words that I remember writing once. I’ve been toying with creating some sort of electronic repository (i guess that would be a database) but i think good ole index cards might be a simple yet effective solution. That way when the machines take over or data is official commandeered, I’ll have my nuggets tucked away in a book bag as I roam the post apocalyptic world.

I don’t know what sort of organizational system you use to keep the random stuff in reserve for future possible use (index cards, spiral notebook, laptop). And of course it doesn’t matter because whatever system you’re using, it’s obviously working for you.

Just tell me that that “stationary clown capacity” is safely filed along with “glass unicorn collection,” and I will be happy.

my aunt was inspired by the OJ case to go to law school at age 50 (she was probably the only black person–at that time–who was 100% convinced he was guilty) so 60 may not be so bad… now whether she’ll ever get the chance to practice law is whole other story…

Hipsters don’t eat food; they “eat” “food.” That’s the secret.

Bread pudding? Lol! I might be a hipster if I didn’t push myself to the physical limits

I kinda want try and write Maniac AARP Regional President, just to see what I can come up with… innocent Gen X and Y’ers are being brutally murdered in the streets of Tallahassee FL by a crazed AARP Regional President wielding a modified aluminum cane equipped with a secret deadly arsenal… its up to 28yr old local comic book store owner and amateur PI Tucker Hunter and his ragtag group of 20-something pals to stop the sadistic senior’s senseless slaughter spree….

I clearly need a day job…

Peace is a lie. There is only passion. Through passion, I gain strength. Through strength, I gain power. Through power, I gain victory. Through victory, my chains are broken. — The Code Of The Sith

since I cited Star Wars, I thought I’d add a footnote of sorts…

I think the connection is completely clear. And leaning into one’s fear is where much of the joy of life is found.

And that “leaning in” can take any number of forms. Whether it takes the form of a (much, much younger version of) myself leaning into the possibility that all the really awful things I learned as a child about gay people might not in fact be true, or whether it takes the form of a (younger, but not nearly as much younger version of) yourself biting the bullet, swallowing the terror, and then stepping on the stage at an early open mic night, the basic principle is exactly the same:

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Because although fear tells us that it’s safer to sit on the sidelines, that perceived safety is itself an illusion. Familiarity makes us feel safe, but feeling safe is not the same as being safe. So one might as well lean in, let the adrenaline do its thing, and then push on through anyway.

Not to mention, life is a hell of a lot more fun that way.

Lethal Walker! Ha. Throw a “Texas” between Lethal and Walker and you’ve got yourself a pretty good TV show.

This is great!! Thanks for being the best hype man ever. Not sure when it happened but sometime in the last 20-30 years, fear became a leading if not the leading motivating factor in our general behavior and values. It permeates every aspect of society and makes things way harder than needed. And sadly, most people don’t even realize it. I know people may not think your post and this reply are connected but i think they are. I think fear is pollutes clear decision making and many people are lost in the proverbial wilderness because fear as informed their path. Fear turns no-brainers into things we never act on. Now all those women are probably thinking they should shy away from me.
