RANDOM BLURB in Whatever Will Be Will Be

Full entry upcoming, as ever, but… theater… acting… is such a weird experience. People with Julliard Backgrounds struggling to be more than just “Dude in Commercial”. Actors like D.B. Woodside ...


I realized that what I was going to share here first could easily be marked as Spam. I would hope that my having had a paid membership since the option began and my now 10 years of writing woul...

Depressing in Whatever Will Be Will Be

So, I had about three paragraphs written. Some emotionally honest. Some deeply legal. I fucked up at work, I don’t feel good, and I have a lot to do. I wanted to call in sick today because I...

Enraged in Whatever Will Be Will Be

I am fucking furious!!! Because international acts don’t come to Iowa, in order to see them- people from this state have to travel out of State. This is logical and unfortunate as fuck. But for ...


So, last night I needed to get things taken care of in order to be ready. I didn’t get nearly as much done as I had wanted to! I still needed to unload the dishwasher and pack for the trip. I...

Quel Sera in Whatever Will Be Will Be

The weekend… happened. It was okay. Spent Friday with Hermia and Brad and made them watch Muppet Treasure Island. Spent Saturday evening with Hermia and we rekindled the physical aspects of ou...


I’ve been in something of a slump today. I’ve done… most of the work I needed to do today. I haven’t done some of the e-mail work partly because it would be too laborious and would irritate the...


This morning was full of multiple individuals with terrible problems regarding violence. Even down to a 15 year old who picked up adult charges for just beating the hell out of a gas station emp...


So… Monday, I didn’t have a working computer because I.T. fucked up and prevented our ENTIRE Attorney’s Office from accessing ANY of our work product. A fuck up that lasted the entire day on Mond...


Of course… things didn’t turn out great and… as should not be surprising, a lot of it focused on Brad’s behavior. As ever. I was meeting Hermia, her mom, and Brad at the restaurant. I got there...


Honest question to readers: If I have a lot to write about things including relationship, partner’s child, and the show… is it better in one SUPER SIZE entry or multiple little entries? Which is...


One of the things I was always told about America and Free Speech is that, “Isn’t it wonderful that we live in a country where you can criticize the President, make fun of the President, and not ...


I have often discussed my fight against Toxic Masculinity. I have had to argue against both men and women that such a thing even exists. I have had to both admit that the patriarchy exists whil...


Tuesday, May 21, 2024 Today has been a day of much. And a day of little. I stayed up late as I knew I could set out on my quest later in the morning. This was, perhaps, best as there were terrib...


Well… truth is I had set aside time to write in here. I am genuinely worried because the way my mind works - the longer it takes me to write the entry I want to write, the less I’ll remember. Th...

Bark in Whatever Will Be Will Be

I will 100% share the entry I wrote before my trip and share an entry about my trip. But I wanted to say… I couldn’t pick my dog up until tomorrow.... and me, solo, in this house, without my pupp...


You know how I’ve just been… abysmally down about work lately? They’ve started “a long over due” construction issue. Which means, around our offices, loud machines active throughout the entire da...


Sadly, this is neither an “About Time” as in something expected but delayed happened. Nor is this “About Time” the Rachel McAdams film from 2013. Nor is it the K-Drama originally titled “Meomc...


So, I’m not even adjusting the privacy setting on this entry. It is PUBLIC. And, as it is being written on my home PC… typos are expected as this is the same keyboard I was bitching about 3 yea...


Hermia texted me this morning. She is incredibly sick and is going to get tested for Strep Throat. I think it is a good idea and will be doing the same. The throat pain really is the most aggra...


ALL of last week and so far ALL of this week, each morning comes with… I lack the word to describe. It takes me an hour or more to get out of bed. And when I do, I desperately don’t want to be ...


I hate my body. In so many specific ways. I awoke on Monday and could not move. My body went unresponsive. A fact of my physical condition. This happens… more often than I’d like to admit… bu...


Living in a time where Kellog’s tried to push “Cereal for Dinner” and where my bag of ice literally says, “Ice is a food!” sure does seem pretty dystopian. BUT then add in the other element. All ...


I hate writing from my phone but I am out, so we’re just going to deal with it. I should write about yesterday (and today) as there is a LOT of relationship stuff to write about. Instead, I wante...


I… should have expected this. I suppose on some level I did. Today is March 15. BEWARE THE IDES OF MARCH! And I woke up intent to write a public post to bring attention to our Community’s Shake...
