Beyond Exhausted 3: Never Enough

There is a fatigue so great that the body cries, even in its sleep. —Honoré de Balzac How many times does my heart have to break for it to heal?How many oceans of tears do I have to shed to be numb?How many voids do I have to scream from to be heard?How many…

Just when I thought FB couldn't sink any lower or be even greedier, they roll out this batshit policy. Whatever! Who needs followers anyway. 😤😠

The past beats inside me like a second heart. —John Banville, The Sea Whenever I think of you, the memories come flooding back, unbidden but not unwelcome. I REMEMBER...during our senior year in high school, you started chatting with me about Matchbox 20, Savage Garden, and Linkin Park. We had heated discussions about music, and I flatly refused to accept your vehement declarations that Linkin Park is a boy band instead of an alternative band (

Happiness is the highest form of health. —Dalai Lama CTTO: SageJournals, BioRender.com Yesterday, I was washing dishes in the sink when I felt a sharp pain in my right index finger. As I examined it, I saw it swelling rapidly. My immediate thought was I might've been bitten by an ant or a spider, so I massaged the area to relieve the pain, as I often do.

Beautiful animation, great character designs, and stunning visuals with mediocre story and aggresively poppy songs. I don't enjoy kpop at all. Not my cuppa tea.

Movie Review: Press Play

Tell your friend that in his death, a part of you dies and goes with him. Wherever he goes, you also go. He will not be alone. —Jiddu Krishnamurti If you could go back in time to save someone you love from certain death, would you? This is the exact premise of this movie.…

And while it's almost banal in its simplicity, I find myself ugly crying 20 minutes into watching it and kept bawling all the way through to the end.

"Life is short and the older you get, the more you feel it. Indeed, the shorter it is. People lose their capacity to walk, run, travel, think, and experience life. I realise how important it is to use the time I have." (Viggo Mortensen)

So 3 weeks ago, I had no idea who Aleks Le was until he showed up as a guest PC in #CriticalRole 3-part miniseries #WildemountWildlings. As the voice actor for the MC in #SoloLeveling, he elevated himself to legendary status not with his VA & control over his character. Sub is better.

Update: The jinx has seemingly been lifted yesterday. No car trouble, just a smooth ride. So me and cars can coexist again...hopefully. 😜🤞
