    Of octopuses and grade school

    March 10, 2020 /

    There is a running joke between my grade school friends and I, that we all used to be pogi, and now we’ve grown out of it. It’s always jarring looking at photos of us from the time, where nobody had a haircut lower than our chins, where you couldn’t wear a skirt outside the uniform without being made fun of, and being girly was almost a dirty word. It took me a long time to change my perspective, and moving schools was the only way I could grow out my hair to the length it is now (it took me about 2 years, and I’ve never cut it above my…

    I think you should listen to Bazzi’s Paradise today

    March 5, 2020 /

    Sometimes you just need to unwind, and I need to unwind. It’s a shame I gave up alcohol and soda for the next month, but that doesn’t mean that I still can’t have fun yeah? But yes, I do not have the excuse for any alcohol fueled behavior. Really though, is there anything more dangerous than the combination of no sleep and stress? I do want to have fun, hopefully at a beach, or a rooftop, with a nice view, or maybe just sitting with friends somewhere fun to eat. For now, since we are all adults that have responsibilities (some responsibilities more intense than others), we have to wait…

    I think you should listen to Bon Iver’s “Skinny Love” today

    March 4, 2020 /

    I have been holding in rage all day, and really, it’s misplaced, and like what I’ve just been told by my sister and mother, I really shouldn’t pour it on others. So I will listen to moody songs and angry music and will keep trying to sing this out. And I told you to be patient And I told you to be fine And I told you to be balanced And I told you to be kind And in the morning I’ll be with you But it will be a different kind ‘Cause I’ll be holding all the tickets And you’ll be owning all the fines I feel like I…

    What we owe

    March 2, 2020 /

    I have been thinking about the universe, and what we owe. I believe that life owes us nothing, and that we’re here for a short period of time. If that’s the case, and the universe owes us nothing, does that mean we owe it zero too? Raised Catholic, I’ve always been told that while we’re owed nothing, we owe everything to an ever knowing, powerful being that created us out of nothing. And while I am not atheistic at this point, I don’t think we can reduce a singular being to teachings by flawed, self-serving men in the beginning of time who had the influence to be able to contribute…

    I think you should listen to Rihanna’s Love on the Brain today

    March 1, 2020 /

    I’ve been thinking too much about work lately. And it shows, even conversations with friends/family are spent discussing ideas I have been working on, and I am back to working in my offline hours. I am trying not to, still afraid of burning out, and the last time it didn’t really work out well for me. But hey, I know I can stop when I can and if I should, who knows? For now, it’s working, and I will find other ways to occupy myself outside of work. But I digress. I have had this song on repeat for a bit this morning, and here’s what I think, sometimes, it’s…
