Simple things file
I was recently having a conversation (via text message of course…do people actually talk to each other anymore?) about being happy and what it meant and how to achieve ones personal happiness. The person I was texting (whom shall henceforth be referred to as Dirty D) mentioned this concept of “simple things.” I said I didn’t really have a simple things file and...

I find this to be beyond awesome. And I love that it comes from my beloved Baltimore.

Get ready...
I feel a lot Tumblr-ing in my near future. I’m about to Tumblr the shit out of this!
However, first I must start laundry and do some apartment cleaning…and in a few hours get some m-f’ing Chipotle!
Soon though, Tumblr. Soon.
I caved…slightly. I won’t do the formspring thing, but this is definitely good enough. Hit me up if you have a question.

I need to start putting this to use. I’ll still drink coffee…just maybe less of it?
My oxymoronic lifestyle
I have decided to live a markedly positive lifestyle. I am going to look toward the future and always strive to make myself and the things/people around me better and more productive. That being said, I am also washing my hands clean of many people/situations/places and not looking back. I feel like this is the oxymoron. I have no problem hating the world and being disgruntled toward it and...
Aspirations
I aspire to someday be a “good” writer. The problem with that is the idea/concept/perception of “good.” Good means so many different things to different people. I suppose what I mean is that I desire to be able to produce inspired prose that make people think, or have an epiphany about their life, or that just make people say “that’s a damn good...
Say Hello, Wave Goodbye
Standing at the door of the pink Flamingo crying in the rain, It was a kind of so-so love and I’m gonna make sure it doesn’t happen again, You and I had to be the standing joke of the year, You were a run around, a lost and found, and not for me I feel Take your hands off me, hey, I don’t belong to you, you see, And take a look in my face, for the last time, I never knew...

Just pointless rambling...
I am in dire need of a rebuilding year. New places, new faces…just newness. Sports teams go through rebuilding phases, but it’s when players leave and they have to assemble a new group of people to make a team that can not only survive, but succeed. Obviously for me, that is not necessarily the case. Although, I will admit that I could do without certain people and would gladly...
Just my thoughts today...
I recently watched a documentary (thank you for making me aware that it exists Brian) about Buffalo’s east side and its culture of violence and drugs. It was most disturbing, and not because I didn’t know it existed, but because it reminded me that it does. I lived in one of the neighborhoods where the filming took place for over a year, so I was fully aware of what went down there. ...

things I overhear...
Today, at Starbucks the women sitting next to had these thing to share:
“Do you know some people don’t even bother getting a home phone anymore?”
I wanted to lean over and say, “welcome to 2004 lady”, but instead I just sat and listened.
A few minutes later she disgustingly mentioned how some people even play games on their cell phones.
There was more, but it...

How the hell did my “tumblarity” level go down?? Not that I really understand the concept…but still! Ugh!
Stepped out of the shower to the smell of hazelnut coffee brewing this morning. I can definitely get used to that. Coffee attempt #1 was a huge success. Yuuuummmm!!!
This also seems appropriate today. I don’t...
Beauty is only skin deep (so they say...) →
I haven’t quite decided if this is good or not. The term plus-sized is very often skewed and mis-used. Either way, I encourage anyone attempting to disrupt and distort the current concept of beauty and body image.

Decisions...(Part 2)
Apparently my decision-making is in fact not improving, as I chose to have coffee way too late and now can’t sleep. I guess I broke even today. I’m hoping eventually my good decisions can/will outweigh the bad ones. I’m also hoping that willing that to happen will help it to actually happen….and this has ceased to make sense so I’m done.
Decisions...
Today I chose to put pickles in my lunch. When it came time to eat said lunch I was extremely happy that I made that decision. Considering my decision-making track record, I am quite proud of myself. Maybe this is the start of more good decision-making for me.
color matching coffee cup - information aesthetics →
This will be the first coffee cup I buy….after I eventually buy myself a coffee-maker.
Am I a bad person for hoping that people that drive like assholes in the snow get into an accident? I mean, I don’t wish them any harm, but I want them to skid out into a lawn or bounce off a guardrail or jersey wall a few times. I guess in the end all I want is to be able to justify thinking “you’re an asshole” as someone speeds by me when the roads are shitty.
P.S....
Things I ate today so far (as of 4:48 PM)...
a banana
5 Christmas cookies
half a bag of Hershey’s Miniatures
I need to go grocery shopping real bad.
