I don't think a roast beef, avocado, and kimchi sandwich counts as an unusual breakfast if you started working before most people woke up. I've earned temporal diplomatic immunity from cereal.

Has anyone on "The Price Is Right" ever won a new car and immediately thought... "Oh shit. The taxes". 😕 That's probably the exact moment you become an adult.

I'm sure there's a beautiful surprise waiting for me around the corner. I just hope someone has fed it.

I believe there's probably a perfect version of me somewhere in a parallel universe. Unfortunately, he's probably telling people about me to make himself feel better.

Everyone says we need to prepare for an uncertain future. I bought extra batteries. I don't know what the future is planning, but if it requires four AAs, I'm going to look like a fucking genius.

Rain makes me want to spend the whole day reading by a window. I think this is because humans evolved from creatures who didn't have deadlines. I haven't researched this because I have deadlines.

I think the difference between "too many pens" and "a pen collection" is organization. That's why I'm afraid to organize mine. I don't need to know how many there are. I need plausible deniability.

Smith Corona @smithcorona.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

I opened a drawer this morning and discovered it was almost entirely pens. At first I thought, "This is getting out of hand". Then I noticed there was still room for several more pens, and I think it's important to finish what you start.

Don't whisper what sets your soul on fire just because someone finds your enthusiasm embarrassing. Be fucking loud. Find the people who lean in closer when you get excited.

I've had enough dates to know exactly which parts of me register first and which parts take an hour to notice. I used to resent that gap. Now I just trust that the right person stays for hour two.

I think fossils are nature's way of saying, "I know this sounds made up, so I saved one".

I want to be the warm side of the bed before either of us even lies down.

Smith Corona @smithcorona.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

I want someone whose hand on my back means more than anything anyone's ever said to me.

Smith Corona @smithcorona.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

I want to be the reason you stop scrolling and just look up.

000

Smith Corona @smithcorona.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

I have every reason to stop and everyone would understand. No one would call it cowardice. It would look like wisdom. I want it anyway, badly, at full price, with the scar still there. I want to reach into the dark and feel someone reach back.

Sometimes I wonder if the people who make beef jerky and the people who make dog treats ever get together just to see how close they can make the packaging before someone gets nervous in aisle seven.

Sometimes I think self-worth is like the moon. It must be tempting, on its darkest nights, to believe it has become too little to matter. But the moon has never been asked to prove its worth by how much of it we can see.

I believe KISS is to rock what the Harlem Globetrotters are to basketball. This is NOT an insult. It's recognizing that both understood something important: technical skill is nice, but people remember the guy breathing fire and the guy who hid the basketball under his shirt.

Spent a week perfecting a walk inspired by a badass in a film. Shoulders back, slow burn energy. Then I caught my reflection in a window mid-strut, head bobbing forward with each step. I realized I hadn't been channeling a movie icon. I'd been channeling the pigeon on my balcony.

There's something peaceful about the neighborhood before sunrise. The birds are singing. The trees are swaying. The cat across the street is silently judging us all. And that damn squirrel is scurrying down the sidewalk with a switchblade in its mouth. Again.

Everyone talks about the early bird getting the worm. Nobody talks about the worm, who was probably just trying to get a head start on the day.

Somewhere in every box of cereal is one piece that is noticeably larger than all the others. I believe it is their king.

I don't want billionaire money. I want "the grocery total matched what I thought it would be" money. I want "I can pick up the phone when an unknown number calls without assuming it wants money" money.

There are some losses that don't feel fair. Today I lost a friend, a film critic, and a genuinely good person. The closing credits came far too early. He was only 59. Fuck cancer. 😢

Up at 3 a.m. while the rest of the world sleeps. Winning the day! Getting ahead! Building momentum! Seizing the opportunity! Also, there's a deadline pointing a knife at me, so let's not pretend this is entirely voluntary.

Before assuming everyone else has their shit together, remember you're only seeing their highlight reel and not their old suitcase full of "mystery cables".

The difference between a hobby and a "problem" is whether you've purchased specialized storage for it.

I miss the version of Saturday that involved cereal and cartoons instead of spreadsheets and administrative dread. Looking back, I severely underestimated how good I had it.

I spent my childhood thinking quicksand would be a much bigger problem than remembering passwords.

Wordle was fucking with me yesterday.

Sunday! You work all week to afford rest from working so you can recover enough to continue working.

My fitness app told me I lifted 10,000 (cumulative) pounds today, but I think it would be WAY MORE motivating if it said you lifted the equivalent of an ambulance or four great white sharks.

Things have been quietly falling apart around the edges, but thankfully the universe still occasionally sends me something ridiculous enough to make me laugh and keep going.

000

Smith Corona @smithcorona.bsky.social · 14/05/2026

Birthday! Inching closer to winding down my 50s but I am still charmed by bookstores, feel kale is still deeply suspect, firmly believe that you must laugh at the chaos or it wins, and know there's no shame in walking away from what drains you even if you once begged for it.

Sometimes I take the moral high ground simply because it offers a better view of my own pettiness.

There's currently a goose on my roof looking like it has a strong opinion about my life choices.

Anyone here suddenly wake up with locked calf muscles or cramped toes? It's been happening to me a lot. I have tried electrolytes & supplements, but last night, I gave pickle juice a try and the pain subsided within 30 seconds. WTF! I am wondering if anyone else has tried this.

Smith Corona @smithcorona.bsky.social · 14/04/2026

I can handle price hikes, delays, and all of that, but I cannot handle being talked to like I'm stupid. When a company like DoorDash starts playing along with the narrative instead of admitting the lie, it tells you exactly how they see their customers.

Why is it that the "quick thing" you planned to do will somehow take the entire day and steal a piece of your soul?

Pringles for breakfast is a mindset. You lower the bar so that you can exceed it later.

Early morning walks feel honest. No one's performing yet. It's like the world has been caught off guard.

You can keep your five-year plans. I'll take one good, unexpected moment.

Easter fills me with hope and renewal. Also wonder. Like, I wonder why a hollow chocolate bunny costs the same as a small appliance.

I always thought Good Friday sounded like a review you leave when you don't want to get into all the details.

Two new episodes of Daredevil dropped last night. I am so looking forward to watching them tonight. I've even picked out a wine.

A bottle of Casillero del Diablo wine with the word Dare written in before the word Diablo on the label.

I don't do April Fools' Day. It's not because I'm above it. It's just because I don't have the emotional stamina to maintain a lie longer than eight seconds.

When insomnia shows up, I don't fight it anymore. Instead, I try to redirect it. If the night's going to keep me up, it's going to watch me get a few things done.

Smith Corona @smithcorona.bsky.social · 30/03/2026

I don't hate Mondays. They feel like a quiet reset. There is no pressure to be perfect. They are just a clean start and a chance to do things a little better than last week.
