I tried out my first pair of “barefoot shoes” this weekend. Can’t wait for the rest to show up.

3 Comments

I don't remember what got me looking for these "barefoot" (or "minimalist") shoes in the first place, but I do know I went from knowing nothing to "I'd better get some" in record time. And I don't mean those weird "toe shoes" that look like slightly more complicated gloves for the feet. Those things wigged … Continue reading I tried out my first pair of “barefoot shoes” this weekend. Can’t wait for the rest to show up.

“The Country is Screwed Whether Trump Wins or Loses.” This video chilled me… & we’re still awaiting results.

Two words came to mind: Holy. Crap. I had this pop up on my YouTube feed. I've seen some snippets of David Pakman's show quite a bit lately, but this segment from today delves into what it means that so many millions voted for Donald Trump in this election, even more than did in 2016 … Continue reading “The Country is Screwed Whether Trump Wins or Loses.” This video chilled me… & we’re still awaiting results.

#089–When does self-reflection become a self-defeating cycle?

1 Comment

I could live to be 100 and still hate Sunday afternoons. I shouldn't be surprised that my most depressing moods occur around this time of the week, damn near every week. It also doesn't help that I was hanging around at home in case some visitors showed up, since they said they'd "drop by this … Continue reading #089–When does self-reflection become a self-defeating cycle?

How to Stop Feeling Like Sh*t: 14 habits that are holding you back from happiness, by Andrea Owen

My Copy: 9781580056793 (image from goodreads.com) I can't remember the last time I read a non-fiction book that felt like I wasn't reading a book. I felt like I was talking to an honest girlfriend (and I don't mean the cursing bit; I curse a helluva lot more than my girlfriends, dammit). For the record, … Continue reading How to Stop Feeling Like Sh*t: 14 habits that are holding you back from happiness, by Andrea Owen

The Peregrine, by J.A. Baker

Leave a comment

My Copy: 9781590171332 (image from goodreads.com) Ordinarily, I don't think I'd ever consider a book like this for my shelf. For a non-fiction book, one probably best described as a nature memoir, I am amazed at how it's written. I'd never heard of it until Werner Herzog mentioned it in his Masterclass. Herzog insists that … Continue reading The Peregrine, by J.A. Baker

#061–How do you keep parents from trying to pay off your debts for you?

4 Comments

I'm sure there's some startled blinking going on at that question. I mean, who the hell wouldn't want somebody else to pay their debts off, really? You probably wouldn't be the first; I haven't found any articles about this very concern. Most of Google is focused on debt consolidation or asking parents if they think … Continue reading #061–How do you keep parents from trying to pay off your debts for you?
