Glazier, Poet, Prophet, Liar, Seer of things great and small. I have no idea what any of that means but I liked the way it rolled off my brain.

Is it weird that as I'm walking to work I'm having conversations in my head with 4 different people, mostly without them, and myself on 5 completely unrelated topics? It's 830am and my head is already exhausting me.

That's me
Me?
That's an excellent question.

There are times I feel like I have this TRUE idea, like meaningful in a big way idea(i get the egoism), but it's nebulous. I've never ever been able to make one truly cohere. That's the most frustrating thing I've never told anyone, even me until now. It's like forever failing the Uncle Ben test.

Fuck, that's dark...
On the plane yesterday, sat next to a European couple living in the US, and the topic of whether they were thinking of returning to Europe came up. One of them noted they felt safer here because "you have oceans." But the general agreement was that right now there's probably nowhere truly safe.

I found this way more relevant than I expected.

Is it weird that the thing I'm most interested in seeing at #EliminationChamber is what #AlexaBliss gets up to? #wwe

I hate how easily I feel defeated.

I feel so odd right now. I almost feel good but I'm too scared of feeling food to quite feel good. That's batshit crazy.

I really do enjoy the “neighborhood shopkeep” part of my job way more than I ever realized.

If you're around Bay Ridge Ave today, City League is having their 2nd anniversary, including a pop-up vinyl shop and a vegan taco truck! We were there while they were setting up and it looks like it's gonna be HOPPING.

We’ve gone from the kind of people that when someone said “I’m not feeling well”, we brought them soup and ate some with them. Then we brought soup and said “You good? I gotta run.” And now we say “I’ll have some soup delivered to you.” These are not the same things nor are they improvements.
