black clover never let them make you crawl

Cotton Tail

After you've absorbed the day and you've got all settled down. And you're quiet. And you're already to go to sleep. You turn out the light and you put your head on the pillow and you get your sleeping stance together.

And then there it is. There's the idea you've been looking for all day long.

-Duke Ellington

Photograph

In 2001 I bought my first camera. A few days passed and then I woke up one day and there it was. Nine years and five cameras later and much to my surprise, 16,000 photos to show for it.

I'm amazed at how far I've come. I never thought I'd be that into photography and the art, nor that I would progress to this level of photography. And though I have a Very long way yet to travel in the photography world, the journey and the path is where my heart still lays. And I'm not done yet.

Find something you love. And never stop trying and never stop learning. Maybe that's the secret to life?

Here's to another 16,000.

Kiss Fresh

I am actively soliciting feedback on new toothpaste. Looking for a new brand that doesn't leave my mouth numb, like licking tigerbalm off an ass, nor dry and scratchy like eating sidewalk chalk.

I am convinced such a tube of paste does not exist.

Thanks

You can try to start a chapter a thousand different ways, maybe more, though ultimately the straight line is the shortest distance.

Despite the ways in which my sarcasm probably punched you in the face, hear this.

I am so fortunate. Beyond belief. To be surrounded by my friends, my family; to have my health, clean water and a roof. To even be able to pull off all that I've pulled off. And though I don't believe in all that thank god crap, that doesn't diminish my humbleness. My thanks. My gratitude. That I have it so good. And as much as life is about me, and the decisions and path and journey I partake, it's as much about you as well. And I thank you. More than you know.

Stank

While cooking a few fried eggs this afternoon I happened to singe some hand hair on the gas burner. I am convinced, there is no worse smell on earth. Not poop, not cabbage passed as gas, not the liquid in the bottom of a black garbage bag left out in the sun.

Am I wrong?

Slice

I have serious reservations about people who can't cook, and I'm not talking coq au vin from scratch. I'm talking basic food prep and cook. To grill a meat. To sweat an onion. To fry an egg. The simple mere basics.

Well, I guess we know who will be the first to go when the revolution hits and the power goes out.

Lotus

I have a certain affinity and appetite for lotus tea. Gorgeous aroma, a light pleasant taste with the additional delight of green tea effects. Thrilling.

Master

Jumping into a new job is always a tricky thing. Where does one draw the line between taking a job they could potential wind up hating versus holding out? And how long should one hold out?

Too many options. Too many offers. So little choice.

1-Up

I figured out the easiest way to add years to your life. It's simple and easy. Take all the time you spend complaining about the weather, and don't.
