Running through my head
I’m a deep thinker, often too deep. After watching a bunch of cool things today, the following things are running through my mind: The fact that when they started setting up Colonial Williamsburg, they wanted it to be some silly, unrealistic utopia of what colonial life was like. It’s been designed around what the top…

Rolling with the Punches
The only thing constant in life is change. Everything changes eventually. Seasons, people, jobs, weather, sports teams, politics, fashion trends, even what sports count as Olympic sports. So why do we all hate change so much, even though we experience it at some level every day? I wish I knew. All I do know is…

Priorities
There are possible developments on the the horizon that may challenge me. I guess that’s true of anyone, at any given time though. I have struggled in the past with prioritizing things properly. Like always putting myself last or putting work before my family at the wrong times. It feels like I’m looking at another…

Room of Pain
No, no, not that kind of room of pain. This isn’t about BDSM. No judgement if that’s your jam, though. I’m talking about this place inside of me that seems to hold weird memories and the extreme pain of rejection. I was an outcast for so long. It seemed to follow me wherever I went…
