sometimes i just want to...

sometimes, i want to take a bunch of herbs and spices, coherent to certain cultural flavor profiles like "Mexican" or "Indian" food or whatever... and slowly saute the flavors in some oil on low heat.  just let it simmer until it fills my entire house with that delicious "cooking dinner" smell.  I know the smell will eventually waft into the hallway or out the window and into the neighbors' unit...  i'm not actually cooking anything but i want them to think i'm making some delicious and ethnic and time consuming, i want them to believe that i'll get to enjoy this delicious home cooked food cooked with love and care while they are losers in life because their dinner doesn't smell as good as mine.

Seek peace within

Don't let your emotional happiness depend on things, people or situations you have no control over.
Don't surrender your inner peace to external forces.
A football team, for example.
Especially if those external forces care nothing for you.
Or if those external forces know nothing of your existence.
Or if those external forces have their own self-centered agenda and no room in their life for your emotional investment.
And especially if those external forces have a revolving door for an offensive line.

Wise up, fool.

Ugh

Managed to drag my 30 something ass out of the house on new years. That is my crowning achievement of 2015.
