I was watching a YouTube channel where the “owner” sometimes posts vlogs I find very interesting. I forget what in particular he was talking about, but he mentioned something about people buying...

I’m finally over my illness. The Saturday following my previous entry at which point I hoped to have recovered turned out to be the lowlight of the whole ordeal. Saturday was a continuation of ...

---

Why is it whenever you resolve to take on some new challenge, the universe seems to add to its difficulty? I’m not just talking about the additional work associated witht the new task. I’m talk...

---

Thank you to those who commented on my previous post. You each provided some thoughts and perspectives I hadn’t really considered. I suppose my affections die hard. She and I were very close f...

---

What does it mean to be over someone? I still think about Anya every so often. Not every day, but it seems like once every two or three weeks a memory of her pops into my head. Does getting ov...

---

I’ve encountered a surprising benefit from going my GJJ classes, human contact. I’ve long accepted that I’m a monkish type of person. Left to my own devices, I could stay home and read, watch T...

---

I’m definitely sticking with GJJ. I wish the school were at a slightly more convenient location. It’s close to my office, and the school offers classes at 6:30pm and 8:00pm depending on the nig...

---

I finally signed up for Gracie Jujitsu. I’ve wanted to start learning GJJ for a while, but always found an excuse not to. I suppose one can always find a reason to procrastinate. In my case, I...

---

Catcalling has been a topic of discussion frequently, and all this talk of the issue brought this memory to my attention. About a decade ago, I was attending a local community college. I was fi...

---

Why is it that sometimes random luck aligns just perfectly to screw a person over? Allow me to elaborate. One of my responsibilities is capitalizing expenditures. My company builds a lot of it...

---

I wanted to write about the following a couple of weeks ago, but year-end close kind of consumed my life as it usually does. Now that the books are closed for another year, I suppose I can get t...

---

Maybe I’m a grinch or a scrooge, but my favorite part of Christmas is when it ends. Every year since my Mom died, each year my Dad’s mental health seems to get progressively worse. It’s increme...

---

I wish there were a paint by numbers guide to reading women. A memory keeps popping up in my mind from that coffee “date” I had with that recruiter, Tayna. At one point, we were discussing how ...

---

I’m almost finished with Thanksgiving vacation. I came down to Eastman on Tuesday to spend the holiday with Dad. I’ll go back tomorrow, and tomorrow can’t come soon enough. My dad’s hoarding pr...

---

My practice date was fantastic, and by “fantastic” I mean it would have scored a 6 out of 10 if it had been an actual date. As it was actually a networking interview, it would probably rank at a...

---

Sometimes I feel like I’m living someone else’s life. I went to a seminar hosted by a regional CPA firm. It was an entire day of presentations covering…sigh…all the many exciting changes in the...

---

I have a fear of embarrassment. Ironically, considering much of my childhood (and adolescence), I’d expect to be used to it, but I’m not. I realize exactly what I need to do to be more emotiona...

---

My company is sort of forcing me to take a vacation. We’re on a company-wide retreat, two days of meetings at a resort at Stone Mountain. Tomorrow, we’re supposed to divide into groups and brai...

---

I’m travelling this week to finish a fixed asset audit for our plants. I’m in Gleason, Tennessee right now, and I’ll travel to Crenshaw, Mississippi tomorrow. I booked my hotels, I rented a car...

---

I need to get a life if for no other reason that I have something to write about. It’s not as hard as one would think I think it is. I live in the Atlanta area, so there are loads of clubs and ...

---

I wish I could write something noteworthy. That is, I wish my lack of writing were due to me being engrossed in something interesting. Sadly, such is not the case. Honestly, I’ve just been lazy...

---

I actually made my very first PC. Let me rephrase that, this isn’t my very first PC. Rather, it’s my very first PC that I made myself. I’ve wanted to do this for a while, but I was too afraid ...

---

At least my ankle is feeling better. It's still a little stiff, but I only feel the pain at the very, very tips of the range of motion. My arm is another matter, though. I was getting anxious ...

---

I seriously hope I'm not growing old before my time. Somehow, I must have sprained my ankle Thursday night when I was working out. I was practicing spinning side kicks on the heavy bag, and I l...

---

I haven't been kissed or kissed anyone in over eight years, now. That's a really long time when you think about it. I wrote about these experiences before in my Open Diary, but I suppose I'll s...
