This picture is how I feel about life in general right now.
FUCK EVERYTHING AND BECOME A PIRATE.
That was on the back of a menu at a fabulous bar/restaurant in Bondi in Australia and I for the life of me cannot remember the name of the bar/restaurant but I also took the other photo below there too because 1) the served Sailor Jerry Rum 2) who doesn’t like tequila when they’re getting their festive on and 3) it says Merry Fuckin Christmas.
The only way that message would have been topped was if it had said: Merry Fuckin Christmas Y’all. Continue reading Fuck Everything & Become a Pirate
This quote could not hold better advice for any dreamer out there. Such a simple statement, but so much truth in 12 words. First, I have to thank Karen Peace (follow her on Twitter or Facebook) for posting this on her Instagram because it just strengthened my belief and motivation that the goals I set for myself in 8 months are right. Not that I have/had a doubt … Continue reading If You Can’t Stop Thinking About It, Don’t Stop Working For It.
If eternity is measured by memories treasured in the hearts of loved cities and friends…Then Shel surely knows that he lives as he goes to the The Place Where The Sidewalk Ends. – Sullins Stuart This piece of concrete etched with those words lays outside of one of my favorite churches: St Paul’s Episcopal Church. I’ve never been in the church. I just stand outside … Continue reading I Know Where the Sidewalk Begins
There’s always something we’re trying to reason with: family, friends, lovers, kids, pets, coworkers, etc. Those are all the outward things we try to reason with. What about the inward things. Thoughts, feelings, emotions, etc. What about that battle one faces every day with the image staring back at them in the mirror. How do you reason with yourself? Lately, I’ve been in a mood. … Continue reading Trying to Reason with the Hurricane Season
It’s been a couple weeks since I last posted that I was packing my car and heading back South and this photo pretty much sums up what I was feeling, thinking, etc. I can say without a doubt that my decision was 200% the right thing to do. I have never been happier than I am right now. I currently sleep all the way through … Continue reading Just Like That
So, I’m giving up sweets and alcohol for three weeks. I know, roll your eyes, say yeah right, whatever, and so on. This is how this got started: I understand where he’s coming from. I’ve went from inactive pseudo slob to working out 5 times a day for the last two weeks. Where this sudden motivation came from, who knows and I don’t care because … Continue reading 3 Week Challenge: No Sweets, No Alcohol
I’ve been working on this letter for a friend for several days now. Every time I write something, it doesn’t seem good enough or seems too cliche. I wanted to write this letter so my friend knows I am here for her as she faces a life changing detour. We’ve spoken and she knows I am there and I check in on her, but that doesn’t … Continue reading A Letter to a Friend
“Music is my God, my Best Friend.” ~Ville Valo of H.I.M. I have a piece of audio with Ville saying that and when it pops up in my iTunes I always smile. It reminds me of the way music has touched me in my life. Music is my best friend. It has always been there for me in the best of times and the worst … Continue reading Music is my God, my Best Friend
I woke up in bit of a funk this morning. Partly due to the lack of sleep, the headache I feel asleep with, the slight freak out of money now that I’m back from Australia, and how I was suppose to start my reboot of life this week but moved it to next week, dreary weather and so on and so on. Then I realized, … Continue reading Do What it Takes to Keep a Smile on Your Face
