Snippet in BookThree: Flight Log 2016

Today is just… rough. Like… I’ve never woken up and been this inconsolable about this place. Maybe it is the fact that November is ending and I’m no closer to understanding this job, getting a ...

Piss Poor in BookThree: Flight Log 2016

Waking up and wanting to go right back to sleep is now standard. Getting out of bed and being disgusted with life is now typical. Walking to my car feeling depressed about where I’m going is the ...


I decided not to go to Magistrate Court this morning because there was nothing on the schedule. The rest I shall share in BULLET FORM! - A Citizen In The Know ran into a Board of Supervisors me...


Today… I am hollow. I just feel… devoid. Like this county has crawled inside of me and affected my spirit the way it has affected everything else. This… hollow… numb… apathetic… acceptance. I ...

NoJoMo in BookThree: Flight Log 2016

Writing today. Because I’m in that emotional place of so here’s some NoJoMo… but honestly… I would much rather you read my 3 AM ENTRY and my MONDAY NIGHTMARE entry. NoJoMo11 What “trade” do you...


So I’m tired… as could be expected from being awake at 3 AM to write MY WEEKEND ENTRY. But being back at work has already drained me so much more than anything else possibly could. The Board ha...


I can’t sleep. I started writing this at 3 a.m. because I can’t sleep. I took an absence from Facebook and Prose Box to get perspective and allow myself a bit of a break. In some ways, it work...

Twitter in BookThree: Flight Log 2016

(I’ll be more active tomorrow with some stuff but on a different note) The “Preferred male height” according to a study of Dating Websites is 5‘10 to 6‘2. As someone who is 5‘7… and grew up with...


As disappointed as I am in Trump’s win and as truly fearful as I am for people… there is something worse. At last count 8 trans-youth killed themselves yesterday because they interpreted Trump’s...


Wanted to write something more personally today… but before I get there… Europe’s reaction to the election has been interesting. But I worry that it hasn’t been obvious enough for them. On a sc...


Shock. I am in absolute shock. And around me there is celebration. The community where I live is celebrating the election of Trump. My father is celebrating that “godless liberals” didn’t gai...


Donald Trump is winning presently. That is the ultimate proof that I should die. If only I was brave enough. I’m not. I have a miniscule modicum for hope. But ultimately I have no faith, no ...

Colorific in BookThree: Flight Log 2016

From 22 Words; discussing Color: My Favorite Color(s): Black: This dark shade conveys sensitivity and creativity. Lovers of this color also prefer to be in control. Red: You’re a mover and a sha...


NoJoMo8 How would/do you feel if/about a remake of your favorite childhood movie/cartoon? This is all too real for me. My favorite cartoon shows when I was a kid? Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles a...


(1) LOADS of Bookmarks. I’m surprised. (2) Stupid bloody on-line job sites. Received several e-mails about businesses looking for Dog Walkers and Receptionists. These websites know that I hav...

NoJoMo 6 in BookThree: Flight Log 2016

Written, not posted (until later) Write about something common that makes you wonder. I don’t wish to stir up the issue as contentiously as I have before; but something that truly brings me an al...

NoJoMo5 in BookThree: Flight Log 2016

Written, not posted (until later) If you were/are a farmer/gardener, what would you grow? An interesting question with too simple a response. I would have a garden for food and a garden for flow...

NoJoMo4 in BookThree: Flight Log 2016

Fingers crossed that today will be productive to a fault. Juvenile Court this morning. Difficult call to a Prosecutor in Illinois about Iowa Law making her case more difficult. Motion Response Cr...

NoJoMo3 in BookThree: Flight Log 2016

But first: Another fun day of waking up exhausted, super tired, super cold into a village cloaked with darkness. Bah! The good news is that when I got into work LinkedIn sent me an e-mail sayin...


I stole this from a PB Friend. I would honestly give credit; but I feel like it would be inappropriate to advertise someone’s ‘Diary Space’ without their express permission. 1) Do you think kids...

NoJoMo 2 in BookThree: Flight Log 2016

Before I start… I honestly mean it when I say I wish the world could live in harmony and peace. I know that sounds idealistic or “hippy dippy” but… the whole “everyone at each other’s throats” h...

NoJoMo 1 in BookThree: Flight Log 2016

Tell two lies and one truth, but make them so believable as to confuse your noters. (Lie or Truth 1) When I was a kid, probably around five years old, I met Tom Arnold at a Celebrate Iowa event. ...


Wow… I never thought that I (of all people) would find a Halloween in a negative mood. Halloween is wonderful, typically. Parties, friends, costumes… all sorts of great things. None of that thi...


Super glad it is Friday. I can already tell today is going to be (largely) a wasted day. It feels wrong to have such large chunks of time in a life so short be so completely meaningless. I antici...
