Great Power

October 3rd, 2019 Will Smith and I are on the same wavelength. I had been thinking about writing a post about the difference between fault and responsibility lately, and then I saw a video of his yesterday in which he perfectly describes what I was going to say. That smug ass. To sum it up:Continue reading “Great Power”

Fall, With You I Fall So Fast

September 27th, 2019 My brain is probably backwards, but I’ve always felt like fall is a beginning. I think most people assign spring as the season of something new. But for me, the heat death of summer has always signified endings. The end of friendships. The end of romances. The end of freedom. Because whereContinue reading “Fall, With You I Fall So Fast”

Believe

September 24th, 2019 Whenever you make a decision, you have to balance logic and intuition. I mean, you don’t have to. But, usually, when you don’t is when you make a bad decision. Sometimes you look at all the facts and they add up, but something doesn’t feel right. And sometimes what you want toContinue reading “Believe”

Be Stupid

September 22nd, 2019 This post is just for me. I’m putting it here in case I ever forget and I need to find it. Everyone has their ineffable qualities that make them who they are. Everybody knows somebody who, when you’re asked why you like them, you sigh and say, “I don’t know. There’s justContinue reading “Be Stupid”

Do You Believe In Magic?

September 17th, 2019 People are fucking magic. It feels weird to feel compelled to make a post about this, but it so often seems like we live in a world where all we do is complain about each other. Our friends, our families, our co-workers, people we’ve never even met. If you talk to someoneContinue reading “Do You Believe In Magic?”

Miracle

September 11th, 2019 Keep going until the miracle happens. I hear this or minor variations of this all the time with the company I keep. It’s an abstract thing; a mysterious phrase that makes me want it every time I hear it. It basically means: don’t quit. Not if what you’re doing matters. Even ifContinue reading “Miracle”

Near Deer Experience

September 9th, 2019 2:28 am. I just almost died. Okay, that’s dramatic. But I did just almost hit a deer on the way home. And not just any deer; the most beautiful, haunting fawn I have ever seen. It had fallen behind its mother, and I saw its pale figure as I was screeching toContinue reading “Near Deer Experience”

Reintroduction

September 6th, 2019 Some people need no introduction. Some people beg to be reintroduced. So whether you’ve never even heard of me or you feel like you know me intimately, this is my #fridayintroductions — and maybe we’ll all learn something new today. My name is Dennis. I’m the guy in this photo. Not theContinue reading “Reintroduction”

Give Fucks

September 5th, 2019 I’mma shout this real loud for all the cool kids slouching in the back of the bus: Caring about things and people is the most attractive quality a person can have. I know when you’re young it doesn’t seem like it, because caring about stuff is lame and you are desperate toContinue reading “Give Fucks”

Summertime Sadness

September 1st, 2019 Bye, summer. To say you’re my least favorite season isn’t an insult. It’s just that I love the other seasons that much more, and the other seasons, for me, don’t have the inherent sadness that you do. See, as soon as you begin, Summer, I start to think about when you’re goingContinue reading “Summertime Sadness”
