Physiognomy and why you look like what you are

I remember looking up the word physiognomy a long time ago. I think I read it in a book somewhere, but the definition was, for me, one of those ‘oh thank god someone noticed this too’ type deals where it was just so relieving to have a word put to a thought I’d been havingContinue reading “Physiognomy and why you look like what you are”

I think I get habits now

I wish there was a rhyme or reason to my life, seriously I do. It would be so nice to neatly assemble a chronological order of when I did what and how it turned out, showing a nice little progression as I slowly become more and more capable and more and more successful. I listenContinue reading “I think I get habits now”

Oh Lord help me I’m ranting again

I’m not a fan of habits. At least, I’m not a fan of starting habits you don’t really want to keep. I think this is why by and large I don’t find super successful people too interesting. I sometimes feel like you can pick one, be successful, or be interesting. It doesn’t really surprise meContinue reading “Oh Lord help me I’m ranting again”

His breathing quivered in his chest, a series of short shallow gasps.

He knew what it meant, he’d witnessed it many times. Pets, family, friends, in their last moments the body started grasping, the breaths grew shallower as the survival mechanism persisted in its hopeless quest to continue the biological experience. The white hospital walls watched with dispassionate quietude. ‘It’s happening to me’, he thought. ‘I neverContinue reading “His breathing quivered in his chest, a series of short shallow gasps.”

Japanese

The bartender told me I’m handsome. She complimented me on my pink beanie. I sheepishly wave it off. The people at the market stop to take photos with us. Everyone is so nice. I left my bag there, they returned it to me. Someone here would have stolen it. Someone stole my phone at theContinue reading “Japanese”

If you want anything out of your life you just have to do it and it’s so simple

Why do I keep rehashing this point? It’s for me. The way I talk to you on this platform is the way I talk to myself. It’s the same old story played out over and over again across time. I forget and I remember, I remember then I forget. Everything you want, everything you have,Continue reading “If you want anything out of your life you just have to do it and it’s so simple”

Hating is just cope (you should hate yourself first)

I noticed that a large population of people really hate rich people. This has always somewhat baffled me. Sure, we all dislike those who take advantage of others and people with no thought of anything but themselves and their bottom line, but that’s just such a comically moustache twirling image of rich people that it’sContinue reading “Hating is just cope (you should hate yourself first)”

You just have to do it

It doesn’t have to lead to anything. It doesn’t need to be finished. It doesn’t have to be perfect, or ground-breaking. It might never see the light of day, you may never receive praise for it, reveal it to another pair of eyes. But either way, you must do it. You know exactly what IContinue reading “You just have to do it”

Everything is Simple but Application is Hard

Every goal you have is simple. If you want to accomplish anything of any worth there is no mystery as to the steps. You start where you can, with what you have, and you continue in that fashion day after day. Now the results may vary, methods may need to be changed or updated, butContinue reading “Everything is Simple but Application is Hard”
