daily_024; try something
I don't really know how this relates to my day/yesterday, which is typically how I get the ideas for these posts. So we're winging it. Just try. Do something you want to do. Most of the time, you're in no worse a place

daily_023; vomit
Not word vomit. No no. Yesterday, I time-blocked out today. I like to plan ahead for the day I want to have, and time blocking in my calendar every hour helps me do that. Today, I threw up in between two dumpsters, like a rat trying to choke up the

daily_022; the chartreuse pill
Purpose. So overrated, and so underutilized. Purpose isn't what drives you, it's what got you here. It's not what you're "for", and it isn't against what you're doing. Purpose is a word we use to describe

daily_021; there is enough cake
I'm really competitive. I have always been, for as long as I can remember. Feeling competitive makes sense when there is one prize to be won; one trophy for the day's volleyball tournament, one winner at your family's 4th of July boat race, one

daily_020; measure twice
It doesn't feel right to use capital letters in the heading, because of the format I used for the "title" of the blog. Whoops. You've got two ears/one tongue. A ruler is as patient as a knife cut is permanent. Words can be

daily_019; wood glue and a few screws
Do it yourself. I have this bench that goes with my kitchen table. One of the legs has come loose, so that if you sit on the bench, there is about a 30% chance of the leg failing, and you slipping towards the wall. I've had this thing

daily_017; don't be that guy
Please don't play loud music in a "multi-family" living area- duplexes or apartment complexes, etc.- if you are over the age of 19. It's inconsiderate, immature, and just makes every situation worse, for all parties involved. Honestly, music, and any other form of

daily_016; obsession
I love this word. I think it's bad for me sometimes, but I love it. A friend of mine (hi, buddy) recently described me as a "drowner"- I drown my problems in goals that I become hyper-obsessed with. It's accurate. Growing up, I

daily_015; Lowe's sucks
Hear me out. I put in an order a week ago for same-day delivery at work. I paid extra for this service. None of the items showed up on time (and STILL haven't arrived), so I got on to tech support to ask for the fee back for

daily_014; storms inform
I'm on a rhyming kick, sue me (no, don't sue me. That is the opposite of my point). There are some big storm cells banging around out here. The weather, and nature, is a beast yet unconquered. Sure, we set our homes and cities in the

daily_013; fools errand, tools fool, a fool is a fickle tool
Like I said, not every day is going to be an amazing insight into my life. Or yours. Some days it will just be me writing/making stuff to flex the muscle. I'm half-tempted to write a really witty April Fool's joke on the technicality that
