Day Late and a Dollar Short

Good morning, look I’m sorry I snapped at you yesterday, I was grumpy and tired. I appreciate you being here, but you have to understand that writing this is work and people are not inclined to work for a metaphysical goal like metal health. It’s the same reason I struggle to do my daily mindfulnessContinue reading “Day Late and a Dollar Short”

Whats in a Line?

Alright I missed yesterday, get off my back I’m here now aren’t I? You know what I might decide to skip tomorrow if you’ve really got a problem, maybe I’ll skip all of December as a reward for doing so good all year. Nah I will try not to do that because if I didContinue reading “Whats in a Line?”

Gobble Goes the Turkey

Good morning pages and happy Thanksgiving. Look at me writing my pages before 8 am, like I should be doing. Yesterday I had some socializing to do which is pretty typical of the holidays I suppose. A friend of my wife’s from med school and her boyfriend came over to visit. What was a littleContinue reading “Gobble Goes the Turkey”

I Suppose You’re Looking for Me?

I don’t know what you want from me morning pages, I’m tired and I don’t feel like writing this. How much longer can we keep this up. It’s about to be the end of November. I started writing these on the first of January this year, so soon I will have gone a whole yearContinue reading “I Suppose You’re Looking for Me?”

Penciling Pencil Lead

Well another day, another donut. It’d be nice to have donuts but c’est la vie. Drawing today is going pretty well. I’m getting some time in. It’s probably good focused time as opposed to what I usually feel is in a class room. I think with classes, there ends up being so many distractions andContinue reading “Penciling Pencil Lead”

I don’t have to put up with this

Alright morning pages, I don’t know what’s been up lately but I feel like I haven’t wanted to talk to you. Maybe I’m tired and don’t feel like doing it, maybe I’m putting too much on myself and I’m beginning to fall towards depression. Whatever it is, I’m still here for another day. Today wasContinue reading “I don’t have to put up with this”

Infatuate the Sound

It’s coming up on 11 am Sunday morning. This has been a nice Sunday, I haven’t been so happy in a long time. Last night my wife and I hung out with another couple. The girl knows my wife from college and her husband has a B.A. in philosophy. Yesterday he said he’s read DuneContinue reading “Infatuate the Sound”

Weather Report

Good morning pages, I’m hanging out in my studio working on origami. I made a paper crane to give to my little when we meet and when I was talking to a friend he mentioned a truth I was trying to avoid. That I need to have the technique memorized in case he wants meContinue reading “Weather Report”

As the World Turns

Squeaking in at the end of the day, I don’t know where to begin, I just have so many thoughts. I’m thinking about pursuing a career as a painter. Really not much would change about my life, but a ton would change about how I see myself. In that BBBS interview it seemed like theContinue reading “As the World Turns”
