I need to get away from the public today... I'm seeing a much higher percentage of idiocy, and I'm feeling violent thoughts to many of them...

After thousands of years of end of the world predictions, we are finally here... Stuck in the mud because we believed our fathers. Just throw a meteor at us God, and start again... Belief was never enough...

Growing up, you learn. From yourself, and from others. Some of the others, you trust. Most of them, not.

Love is powerful, but it doesn't last long. It's not consistent, it must be replenished. It does not attack, it only defends. It is stronger when free. If you find what you love, Enjoy. Then, Judge what you loved. Not what you did...

Political dramas are my jam. I will laugh at what might be a global disaster. House of cards. The Manchurian candidate (both). West Wing. The diplomat. All the presidents men. Selma. If I was in the right place at the right time...? I could fail or succeed just as badly... Trump? Dense.

I have so many sources of information. Some are more reliable than others, but ignoring those who have been untrustworthy in the past has left me ignorant more than once... I would just like to delay my intake. Get it filtered.. not everything is f'n BREAKING NEWS!

As Americans face soaring costs, Republicans like Ted Cruz and Tommy Tuberville are spending their political capital on college sports and panic over furry airline pilots.

Dr. Bandy Lee: Trump poses an imminent threat not just to the US--but to “human survival.” My interview of Dr. Lee on Trump's comments at the UN this week where he threatened to “annihilate” Iran and “drive them into hell with no chance of survival.” Watch full interview: youtu.be/KSZSQW5_LEE?...

As love is equal and opposite to hate, Joy is equal and opposite to anger I need SO MUCH joy to balance the anger I've felt in my lifetime, I have a tough time sometimes believing it can exist Conversely, I have not felt very much hate honestly, and that pendulum concerns me I don't want to hate

I can't stand leaving things unfinished. Long term projects have always been a problem for me. Just the act of starting something I know I can't finish in one session brings forth such strong internal resistance that procrastination doesn't come close to a description of my feelings...

Binged through and finished "The Gentlemen" both seasons over the last couple weeks... In a way, it felt like "The Blacklist" where the main protagonist is actually a horrible person if you step back a bit. Really kinda exposes how easily we can be manipulated by what is presented to us...

I most certainly did NOT receive any form of preservation in my first and only marriage. If I was supposed to receive some of this, I didn't think I got much at all... Obviously written by a man...
This could be fake, but whatever. Supposedly out of an old canning book from 1969...

How to preserve a husband

Be careful in your selection.  Do not choose too young.  When selected, give your entire thoughts to preparation for domestic use. Some wives insist upon keeping them in a pickle, others are constantly getting them into hot water.  This may make them sour, hard, and sometimes bitter; even poor varieties may be made sweet, tender and good, by garnishing them with patience, well sweetened with love and seasoned with kisses.  Wrap them in a mantle of charity.  Keep warm with a steady fire of domestic devotion and serve with peaches and cream.  Thus prepared, they will keep for years.

Looking back, I scared many away, those of whom would be good, or great friends today. I'm quite incisive. Oh wow. I had to look up the dictionary definition of that word. That's me. 80+%. I do this with people, match their frequency, get my read, say something that isn't rude, but it cuts.

Watched "Waiting for the Barbarians" with Johnny Depp tonight. A poignant portrait of human cruelty contrasted with singular empathy. Not a film for most. No happy ending comes. But it's as real as any fictional story can be. The crude humor of the uneducated saddens me. It is the same today..

The first interactions of a morning can set the tone of the entire day. I'm still in my pj's and I'm already annoyed by my overseas coworkers. And every time this has happened, it's because they didn't ask their supervisor first... Maybe it's time to start thinking of something new...
