  • Sometimes…

    Sometimes…

    Typed but not read back or edited. I can see things so clearly, it’s hard to know if others are purposely (purposefully? idk) ignoring things that seem perfectly obvious. Perhaps they do see those things, but they just let those thoughts float by and focus on what’s more important to them. (Or just what’s seemingly…

  • Let’s lighten things up a bit!

    Let’s lighten things up a bit!

    I want to write about something serious and topical, but also, I don’t. Where’s the fun in that? I mean, a bunch of other more influential people are already talking about the things that need addressing—what will I add to the discussion? If I’m not meaningfully adding something with substance, then what’s the point? Woah.…

    **insert post title here**

    When I can’t decide on a topic to write about, I’ll usually start writing whatever is on the forefront of my mind. The problem is that there are usually a multitude of topics being thunk through in my brain… so I’ll end up with a weird combo of subjects that don’t necessarily mesh very well.…

  • The mysterious odour.

    The mysterious odour.

    21812.15.7 I was at work one day as I often was at the time. Washing dishes, deep in thought. It was actually when I wrote these very words in my journal immediately after they popped into my head! I thought it was amazing. Now we’ll find out soon if it actually was. Or is. So…

  • Washing Dishes

    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…

  • Pirate milk. It’s a thing.

    Pirate milk. It’s a thing.

    I mentioned here once before that when I was younger, I started calling chocolate milk “pirate milk”. It was mostly because I’m silly like that, but also partly because our family ran a day home at the time, and the kids liked the name. Pirate milk because chocolate is like gold, and Pirates like gold,…

  • Note to self…

    Hey, Matthew. Just wanted to say hey and point out a few things. Firstly, you should try putting more time and effort into this blog thing. Your posts are kinda… lacking. Secondly, you have to do your laundry tomorrow. Please make sure you do it all! If you don’t, you won’t have clean stuff for…

  • How about some corny jokes?

    How about some corny jokes?

    Everyone likes classic jokes that are kind of silly, corny, and obvious, right? Well regardless, here are some of those very things. You’re welcome. Why didn’t the acrobat work during the winter? He only did summersaults! What’s a clock’s favourite spice? Thyme! Why do bees have sticky hair? They use honeycombs! Why couldn’t the pirate recite…

  • Celebrating one week…with chocolate!

    I just ate a few bites of my chocolate Easter bunny. Why? Because I was craving chocolate. But then I remembered that I hadn’t written today’s blog post AND that it has been one week since I started posting daily. That’s crazy! And the chocolate suddenly became somewhat celebratory for me. This is the first time…

  • Haiku, can you?

    Today I have decided to write some haiku for you. Yes, this is written especially for you! You’re welcome. Haiku is a beautiful and complex form of artistic expression. The intention with this form of poetry is to express a vivid word picture highlighting a juxtaposition of elements using 17 syllables. I will be writing…

  • A Love Note

    Every time I think of you, my heart skips a beat. My mouth waters and I long to press you to my lips. Your cheesiness and your orange colour always bring a smile to my face! I can’t wait until we meet again, macaroni and cheese. M3

  • Shampoo Day

    Shampoo Day

    It happened again. I got carried away and didn’t write a new post until the last minute. I just finished watching Rogue One with Ryan and he suggested that I write about a mundane activity from my everyday life. But that’s kinda boring. So I’m going to write about something that happens less frequently than every day.…
