I have a headache
I’m unable to write because I have a really bad headache. I’ve been in bed all day.
-
I’m completely stuck.
I can’t write anything tonight. So instead, I’ll write about my inability to write. Again. There’s a writing exercise in which you take a simple word or concept from the everyday, then describe it. The aim is to better understand the chosen subject since many things are just taken at face value. It can be […]

Review of Moxie’s in Downtown Vancouver
A friend recommended that for today’s blog post I should write a review of the restaurant at which I ate tonight. So that’s what I’mma do. The Setup It was just about ten at night and I needed food. I’m still new to Vancouver, so I’m unfamiliar with the restaurant selection at any time of […]

Jump
It’s time for a fun fact! Whenever I’m trying out a pen in a store or doodling on a piece of paper or typing something mindlessly into the computer, I will most often write the word ‘jump’. That is all. No, Matthew… You can’t leave it there. Whyyyy… Because that’s a very short thing. You […]

We’re all on the same team!
Everybody needs to chill out and stop putting up divisions! Even subtle or small ones. It’s destructive. We as a species can’t move forward with big issues because we’re so taken with the small stuff which aren’t even actual problems! It’s something we’ve made up, or it’s a social taboo. We’re all on the same […]

Sorry…
I’m sorry. I can’t keep up. That was supposed to be finished today, but I couldn’t do it. I literally couldn’t finish. I wish that I could have. It messes with me and stresses me out. That’s partly why I couldn’t finish, because I had to just… de-stress. I don’t feel bad about ignoring work. […]

Praise Song for the Day
Some live by love thy neighbor as thyself, others by first do no harm or take no more than you need. What if the mightiest word is love? Love beyond marital, filial, national, love that casts a widening pool of light, love with no need to pre-empt grievance. —Elizabeth Alexander, Praise Song for the Day

Currently…
Listening to… I’ve been listening to the third Hunger Games book, Mockingjay since I left Keremeos. I have never read this book because I saw the movies before I got to the book. After I’m done listening to this book, I want to rewatch all of the movies in a marathon! Wearing… Right now I’m […]

What’s up…
Hey, how you doin’? So I’m in Vancouver now, which you probably already knew. But still. Right now I’m working on Paddlefest stuff, updating the website, finalizing registration, writing promo material, and whatever else needs doing. It’s a little weird because I’m usually in Fort Smith working with everyone on Paddlefest stuff. This year I’m far away […]

I should write these things during the daytime.
For the past several weeks, I have written a new blog post every single day. But the time I’ve spent writing those posts has been very minimal. Should that change? Maybe. To find out, let’s journey back a couple of weeks. I started posting daily with the main goals of forcing myself to think creatively […]

You’re amazing!
You are a beautiful person. Don’t believe that? Well, I do. And if you can’t believe it, then try to believe that I believe it. Are you not feeling loved? Put some love out there. Share some hugs with your family and friends! If you love someone, tell them. Get excited about it! Believe it! […]

I broke it…
I was working on the Paddlefest website today, and I made a mistake. The website runs on WordPress, as most of my websites do. I had written a plugin that adds some simple functionality, and I had added it to the Paddlefest website as well. But I needed to make a small change, which I […]

The sun will rise…
Or it won’t. We don’t know for sure. But we trust that it will. We have faith that it will. It’s reliable. Unless clouds ruin it. M3

Washing Dishes
Let me tell you something. Washing dishes is one of those activities that I hate and love at the same time. Why I kinda like washing the dishes. It doesn’t take too much thinking to accomplish this task, which is the biggest draw for me. I can listen to audio drama, or podcasts, or even […]

What to type…
When I can’t think of something to type, I tell myself to just start typing. Once I start, stuff comes out. Today is the first day that I really, really don’t know what to write. So here it goes! I arrived in Vancouver all safe and sound today! Got to have a yummy dinner with […]

A funny thing happened today…
…but I don’t recall the details. *shrugs* Oh, well. You’ll just have to live with the knowledge that there was a funny moment in my day today, the details of which you will not know. Today was a good day! So very much better than yesterday. Granted, I didn’t have a good night’s sleep last […]

Another quick one today.
Just gonna check in. I don’t have the mental energy to write something more than an update. Today has been long and hard. I consider it to be a good day, though. It started with less sleep than I needed. Again. This time was mostly do to me purposely staying up last night. But because […]

My nose.
It’s a love/hate relationship. My nose is causing me such problems right now. It’s hard to breathe, I’m constantly stuffed up, and I have to repeatedly blow my nose. It’s bleeding, it’s hurting, and it’s generally unpleasant. Allergy season sucks. Plain and simple. At least I have a nose, though, eh? *shrugs* M3

Stars
Staring at the night sky, I feel lucky. To witness such a truly wondrous site. Giant orbs of burning gas. Uncountable numbers of them. So unfathomably far away. Some of the light is ancient. Travelling hundreds or even thousands of years to reach my eyes. Not all of the stars I see even exist anymore. It […]
