United we stand, divided we fall
Aesop How many of you knew there were antidotes that went with this quote? Well, they’re worth the read (find them at the end of this post). What I find most ironic about this saying is that it has an “us verses them” quality to it. And as we ‘divide’ there becomes more us(s) verses…

What’s the last movie that made you cry?
Funny thing about crying… I never used to. I mean, I DID NOT CRY. Forever. My siblings don’t remember me crying as a kid. Even when I was injured and bleeding like a stuck pig I didn’t cry. I didn’t see the need. It didn’t get me anything. Than a funny thing happened, in my…

Billy Joel
A great influencer of my life. My all time favorite song; Piano Man by Billy Joel. Why? I don’t know if I could really tell you. I just remember it hitting me when I heard it. It made me feel like I wasn’t alone. That feeling as never gone away. I think it has remained…

“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
Maya Angelou I hit a low point in my teens. (How odd, you say. I know! I say). I won’t bore you with the details… it’s the same shit different pile that all of us went/go through as a teen. One evening I left the house in a huff and found myself wandering around. I…

How does one get away from AI?
I am so sick of AI. I am not going to go on any kind of rant about it… well not a long one ;p I am just wanting to know how I can get around it. I don’t want to have it on my phone. Does anyone know how to take it off? I…
