I don’t post here all that often. I wish I had the discipline to do so but I don’t. I post when the world has a hold of me and I need to shake free. First of all, to those of you who posted comments – thank you for taking […]
Well but…morality cannot be legislated
There are a number of things that have been on my mind lately. The first is the idea that laws are written to legislate morality which is something I fundamentally disagree with. There are a good number of people who I respect and agree with in large part who say […]
Well, but…denial is simply wrong!
In my capacity as a rideshare drive (both Uber and Lyft) I have occasion to pick people up at the beach. I am currently sitting at home, several White Claws in, looking at Uber surge at the beach wondering why I wasn’t out driving at the beach. Aside from the […]
Well but… It was bound to happen
I know it’s better that I deleted my Facebook but I swear! It’s a way bigger pain in the ass to create a new entry here than on Facebook. It’s probably better since it makes me think more about it before posting but still! way too much on my mind […]
Well but… retirement is only 10 years away
Yet another contributing factor to my mini-breakdown in mid-March is my concern over not being able to retire or not having enough money to retire on. A year or a year and a half ago a friend sent my an innocent link to pole barn homes in Texas. For some […]
Well but…It started as humor
Running parallel with my previous post and contributing to my mini-break is my penchant for self-deprecating humor. At least it started as humor. It’s only recently that I’ve realized that my self-deprecation has devolved into pure negativity. When you start believing your own put-downs it’s time to reconsider the jokes […]
Well but… It’s healthier to just walk away
I’m going to piggyback this post on the one I wrote a while back about social media not just affecting girls or young people negatively but everybody. I gave up on Twitter in January or February of 2020. I rarely used it an was mostly disgusted by what I saw […]
Well but…Good news happens too
There is plenty to rant about and I may do so in the near future but right now it’s incumbent upon me to give some thanks. I work on my budget daily. As a result I just realized that if I accept the opportunity presented to me I could be […]
Well, but…even adults are susceptible
There has been a lot of talk recently about how social media creates unrealistic expectations amongst teenagers. Imperfections are magnified when everyone around you seems to have a perfect body or a perfect complexion or an affluent lifestyle. I’ve noticed that social media usage affects me as well, though not […]
Well, but…I have an excuse
I know it’s been a while but as I stated above, I have an excuse. In my last post all the way back in June I wrote about anger and being angry. I made a decision back then that I would step away until I got a handle on that […]
