Have I now invested a lot of my time and effort into creating an improv show that's at least 3-4 months away? Yes. Am I regretting it? Possibly.

As a liquor store employee, I feel the need to give a therapist's business card to anyone who buys fireball and schedule a session for anyone buying rumple minze or jager.

When you are 26 years old, it common to spend a lot of time pursuing what you want without spending much time considering why you want it. When I was 26, I wanted to be a successful YA novelist. I wanted it more than I wanted a long life, or happiness, or a family...
I've known the V speech by heart for around a decade, so I decided to see just how fast I can do it.
Consistently just under 30 seconds. New party trick unlocked.

Everyone should go long distance hiking just to appreciate the privilege of water accessibility.

Mom said that, like my dad, I need "nature church". Thanks to the money she left me, I get to take most of September to be in "nature church" on the SHT once again starting September 2nd.
Thanks, Mom. I miss you.

Ugh. Gotta go in to explain AGAIN to my boss that time off I requested OVER A MONTH AGO and PHYSICALLY WROTE ON THE SCHEDULING CALENDAR is TIME OFF. It's a part time gig and I make them WAY more money in up-selling that $14/h. If I have other commitments, ya gotta honor those.

Doing my first stand up show in 2 years on Friday, first play in a decade in less than 2 weeks, and less than a month away from continuing my SHT NOBO thru hike in less than a month!
Plus setting sales records at work and still making knives on the side. I refuse to be ordinary.

With the human body having entirely new cells every 7 years, who am I? Are we? The Ship of Theseus, dust in the wind, a speck on a pale blue dot.
Yet, everything matters. And it matters because of the other blips on this little marble that we care for and those that care for us.

Oh wow. I can't wait to be involved in a new stage show this August.
Only 3 shows, but very much theater, acting, comedy, and I finagled my way into being a one-man orchestra pit for the scenes I'm not involved in.

Catching up on social media after a SLAMMED week at my day job.
I have to say something to everyone that posted about the 4th that I've seen:
This country isn't a melting pot. It's a stew. And we're all adding our own ingredients and constantly bickering over the temperature.

This makes for a hot mess with the occasional fusion making a perfect bite that no one expected would expect.
It also leads to some burning/undercooking, white chocolate and scallops, and acids curdling the dairy.
Those bad bites don't take from the perfect. We're good and bad.

PSA: I am not well read or particularly smart. I'm just a bit more confidently guessing than the next person and use big words I don't completely understand.

No one cared for the old flag but the people who hated it for being outdated or simply a BAD DESIGN. I voted for a couple designs I thought were better but accepted the result. Watch this TED talk, then TRY to defend the old flag.

Some people argue the new look is too simple and doesn't represent Minnesota, while others explained there was no need to change the flag. kstp.com/kstp-news/top-news/…

And if you think otherwise, look to Greek mythology. Yes the male ones most often ran the show, but does anyone aspire to be Zeus? No. Dude kinda (very much) sucked. But Artemis, Athena, Gaia? Pretty damn cool!
Or Miyazaki films. The men are almost all toxic, but the fems? Amzng!
