“Quiet Energy”
📰 Saturday, May 23, 2026 — 9:39 a.m. I woke up at 6 this morning like always. But today felt different. Not motivation. Energy. Quiet energy. The kind that doesn’t scream at you to change your life overnight. It just nudges you forward. This past week I think I finally stepped out of rumination a… Continue reading

“Awareness Is a Heavy Thing”
📰 Friday, May 22, 2026 — 8:21 a.m. This whole week I’ve been pretty down. Some people would call it depression. I’d probably just call it being emotionally low. I had to do some soul-searching this week. Some reorganization. Some relabeling of who I am in certain areas of my life. Financially, this week was… Continue reading

“Maybe not perfection, but my way.”
📓 May 21, 2026 — 8:04 a.m. Coffee just finished brewing. I’m sitting near the ottoman thinking about advice. There’s so much advice people give you throughout life that it’s hard to narrow it down to one thing. But if I had to choose… it would probably come from an old boss I had from… Continue reading

“I’d want to buy people a little peace.”
📓 May 20, 2026 — 7:55 a.m. Still haven’t made the coffee yet. Laid in bed earlier feeling numb. Maybe tired. It is what it is. Simba’s at the window. Well… his window. If I had unlimited money for 24 hours? Honestly… I’d probably buy Lakers courtside season tickets for the next 20 or 30… Continue reading

“The beginning is the end”
📓 Tuesday, May 19, 2026 — 7:22 a.m. Sitting by the window. Simba nearby. Coffee brewing again. Laptop on the ottoman. I’m staring at my shelf of Blu-rays and 4K movies. Physical media. Something people barely collect anymore. Question: What show had the perfect finale? I don’t know if it was “perfect.” But one finale… Continue reading

“Marcus Aurelius felt human to me”
📓 May 18, 2026 — 8:28 a.m. Sitting in my chair. Watching YouTube videos about the reMarkable tablet I bought yesterday. It won’t even turn on. So now I gotta go to Best Buy and probably exchange it. Beautiful. Anyway… philosophers. I don’t know if people officially call him a philosopher… but mine would be Marcus… Continue reading

“I’m learning how to live with fear”
📓 May 17, 2026 — 7:17 a.m. Coffee brewing. Bought new beans because I ran out. Sprouts Market. Sitting in my chair with my laptop on my lap. Yesterday I started using my Kindle again. I bought the Paperwhite Signature a while back, used it for a little bit, then stopped. So yesterday I decided:… Continue reading

“One day I won’t see the sky anymore”
📓 May 16, 2026 — 7:54 a.m. Saturday morning. I should be leaving soon to go sell plastic and paper bags. The daily grind. Simba’s at the window. Coffee brewing. And I keep thinking about something that happened yesterday. I was sitting in my van parked outside. Eating Pollo Loco. And everything felt… normal. Blue… Continue reading

“I thought this movie would suck”
📓 May 15, 2026 — 9:20 a.m. Went for a long-ass drive last night. Got home around 3 in the morning. Sometimes when I’m stressed… I just drive. Simba’s in the window passed out. Vacuum in front of me. Jeremy Corbell on YouTube talking about aliens. Movie I expected to hate but ended up loving?… Continue reading

“Life is like an RPG”
📓 May 14, 2026 — 7:54 a.m. Simba’s in the window. He ate this morning and didn’t throw up. So thankfully… I’m not driving around until 4:30 a.m. trying to calm myself down at Starbucks again. Now I’m staring at this question: What is the meaning of life? And honestly… it sounds like something out of Indiana… Continue reading
