  • Comments? Life Changes.

    A couple of posts ago I wrote about “the good ole days” and it got a lot of likes, well, a lot of likes considering I haven’t been blogging on this site for very long. This time I’m asking for comments. I’m at a fork in the road, so to speak. I’ve spent the last…

  • Quiet

    I’m afraid of the quiet. I always have background noise. Always. When I’m up I have music playing, the tv on or both at the same time. At night I leave my tv on all night long. I don’t know why but I feel like I need to make more of an effort to sit…

  • Back In The Day

    Getting back into blogging in 2024 is weird. In the early 00’s I was a very consistent blogger and had quite a few regular readers that would comment on my post and I would comment on their posts. It seemed more natural and impersonal. I fully admit that I haven’t read a blog in at…

  • A 2 Post Night

    I didn’t intend on writing 2 entries tonight but I was going through my drafts folder and saw the last post and it’s still very true so I thought why not! Procrastination is still plaguing me, to the point I want to stop thinking about doing or trying anything because I know that I will…

  • Procrastination

    This is me writing a post, probably about nothing, because I’ve been putting off blogging since earlier this year. I don’t know why I avoid doing things that I know will make me happy(ier). It’s a very bad habit that despite being fully aware of I still do. When I’m not actively thinking about something…

  • On Grief

    Grief is such an odd thing. My mom died a few months ago. I’ve struggled with her death quite a bit. For the last several years I was her care giver, driver, going out buddy, etc. I would see her at least daily and sometimes multiple times a day and going from that to her…

  • WordPress

    I’ve used WordPress for years on my own servers. I moved this site over to wordpress.com thinking it would be easier. I can’t stand the backend and it’s always getting in the way when I want to write something. I had my settings the way I like them on my own server and I’m not…

  • What To Write Here?

    I don’t know what to do with this blog. I haven’t written here in quite a while but I am writing, almost every day, in other spaces. What do I write here? Maybe I could turn this into a tech/IT-type thing? or maybe a camping/Overlanding thing? I don’t know. I do know that I don’t…

  • New Home, Same Lack of Posting

    Today I moved all my hosted services off Linode servers. Last March Linode was bought by Akamai. I’ve been putting off moving because I was holding out hope that Linode would continue to be a standalone company but last month Akamai announce the Linode brand was being retired. Still, I held off on moving mostly…

  • Investing?!

    For years I’ve tried to get interested in investing money, the stock market, etc but I just haven’t been able to keep my brain on track. That’s changed recently and now I get very excited at the possibilities in front of me. I met with a financial advisor this week and laid out my ideal…
