no mistakes just happy little accidents

bob ross, that guy, tells me halfway through the 30 minute video i'm supposed to use a thick firm dry paint for this painting, after i had thinned it down already.  I was kinda upset at him, but then... turns out he was right, we don't make mistakes, just happy little accidents, because I really like how the too-wet paint turned out in these mountains.

the roomba circling the dark, hollow apartment.

"I'll be okay",

drunk slave

Drunk me is best me.  I wake up and marvel at what blacked out drunk-me did the night before.   Laundry is done and folded and put away.  dishes are cleaned.  garbage is taken out.  Week's worth of food is cooked and waiting in the fridge. new oil painting is completed.  Bills are paid and ready to be mailed out. car is washed and clean (that was a nice one).

i love waking up and seeing what drunk-me has done for me-me.

Its like having a slave.  I provide food and shelter and alcohol and my drunk-slave just does things for me.

ahhh, the sweet sound of girls screaming to sing me to sleep.

thats too much man

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

your papa was a pixel wrangler too?

her: so what do you do for a living?

me: I move dots of light around on my flat piece of melted sand.

why do I feel so fulfilled and safe when I look at my stash of extra cardboard boxes?!

zero gains game

one squat rack, me, and ten new years resolutioners.... much like middle east geopolitics, going to the gym after new years has become a zero sum game. 

shelby iowa

I've been looking for love in the wrong place all this time, apparently my spiritual single is waiting for me in Shelby, Iowa.

Iowa...maybe being alone isn't so bad.

does anyone else continue to discover new features on their smart phone by accidentally touching it in a different way?

worst thing to ever happen to me

The lives of the people around me, the ones that i love and care about, are in pain and chaos.  Broken thirteen year long relationships, broken marriages, divorce, unwanted pregnancies, cancer....

and this is the worst thing in my life right now:

I'm such an asshole.

I feel guilty.  and worried that my turn for tragedy is coming.  

12.10.19 update:

annnnnd, the problem just went away. I'm the worst. 

12.11.19: annnd its back, why is my life so hard.

there are worse ways to spend a Thursday night 

snorers

mutineers < rapists < child molesters < murderers <  snorers. 

seriously, what evolutionary function does a snorer provide other than telegraphing "hey prehistoric predators of the night, I'm over here with my tribe and we're all deep asleep and helpless, come eat us!"

always makes me smile

lost in Geary

to paraphrase a line from the greatest movie ever: "what kind of hotel makes you change your own sheets? "

A: a Hostel

when did I get soft?

adding a little cream cuts down on the bitterness and acidity of coffee, and brings out the wonderful, aromatic, deep, flavors that were hidden behind the darkness. 

what an apt metaphor for my life: acidity and darkness and bitterness.

my life could use a little cream. 

you can suck on my attributes

where has this meme been my whole life?!

1.99?!

I'm sorry but I just cannot trust these eggs.  $1.99 for 18 extra large grade A?  that shouldn't be possible here, not even at Costco.

I dont want to think about the chemicals and suffering required for chicken eggs this cheap. 

please do not use

please, do not use, you'll only break it more.
