Tag Archives: That’s How I Roll

The end…. For now.

I have decided to park my blog.

Well, in as much as “park” includes still cross-posting my Instagram photos, and doing the “12 of 12” because I enjoy that.

It’s not like I’ve really blogged anything of real substance in a long, long while. Just not feeling wordy for a while, and my time seems more and more difficult to manage as of late.

I’ll still be around, and I might randomly post from time-to-time.

But for now, thank you for spending the time you’ve spent with me.

Until next time...

I’m ornery like this. I wonder how long until @maxwell_victoria notices I played with her toys?

Bits and stuff

So much for any big, wordy posts so far. So I leave you with some ramblings instead.

I went from whatever illness I had the week before to something new with my respiratory system. Lovely. I’ve been coughing and horking up green lung cookies for the last few days.

—–

Tomatoes and tomato products make my tongue swell up. I was reminded of this tonight as I was eating a BLT.

We have owned our home for a little over 12 years now, and I just realized there are 13 steps you have to take from the ground floor to the second floor. Odd.

Today was unusually warm. Warm enough that we broke a record set back in 1990. It got up to 73°F. Even though I’m under the weather for the most part, it was nice enough to work on the barn a little more…

It’s been mentioned before, but I’m not the most social human on the planet. In most public situations I tend to feel that I have the social skills of a 10-year-old raised by wolves, aside from within the doors of my businesses (and even that can be iffy at times). I’d rather gnaw off my own arm than strike up a conversation with a stranger.

Random thought: what happens if you are picking your nose and the airbag goes off in your auto?

And this is still one of my favorite songs and videos as of late… Capital Cities “Safe and Sound”:

Sebu has a mighty nice beard.

Until next time...

Happenings… or not.

I’ve been sick for the last two days. Today makes day three. I’m not sure what’s up. It’s not the flu, unless it’s a new one that doesn’t cause vomitting and other bodily explosions. I’ve just been stupidly lethargic, achey, and tired. I’ve been resting on the couch and in bed for the last couple of days. And in between the sleeps I’ve been watching a little Netflix, dozing while whatever is playing. I’m feeling a little better today. Hopefully whatever I have is on it’s way out.

And as always, I’m behind on reading blogs. Well, some blogs. Like 700+ posts behind. I’m attempting to play catch up, but that seems to be a failing venture for me these day. As such, I decided to just mark everything written before January 1 this year as “read”. Hopefull I haven’t missed something super important in the people I follow’s lives.

And then there’s the complete lack of blogging myself. At least “real” blogging. Sure, pictures get cross-posted from Instagram, and the occassional status update from Facebook does as well. But that’s not really blogging in my mind. Then again, this whole blog for me was more just a record/diary of my thoughts more than as a way to express myself. And maybe I do that better with the occassional picture. But I need to get better on posting my actual thoughts. Something I haven’t done in a while. I keep trying to find my “angle” on life. Or at least how I view things. I wouldn’t say I live a monotonous life, but I am a man of repitition. Probably enough so that many would find it monotonous.

Anywho… I’m still alive, I’m behind, and that seems to be life these days.

Until next time...
