Genderlazy.
I coined this term many many years ago to describe myself. As I just don’t care what you call me. Call me a girl, call me a boy, just don’t call me late for dinner. See, being male, I never und...
Daria Morgendorffer.
The lyrics have aged slightly. In the wake of George Floyd, the phrase “you’re standing on my neck” clearly has a new meaning. But I feel the phrase is still metaphorical, not literal. (Thoug...
Southpaw.
Actually, I’m right-handed, so this is what threw me off. I was shadow-boxing in the mirror and I’m not surprised my weight went on my left leg. See, I broke my right tibia back in the third gra...
Tea and Consent.
Saw this years ago. For anyone who hasn’t seen it yet.
On Tickling.
Was reflecting on the origin of my love of Star Trek. Which I already know. Duh, it was me watching it with my mom on a black and white TV. Saying iconically, “This is just a bunch of people t...
On Handjobs.
If you know anything about me, I use humor to diffuse tension, whether internal or external. I’m aware I’m over-the-top. But really, this preface is to shield eyes that may not want to read thi...
We need a hero.
I finished The Mandalorian yesterday. I’ve decided this is the perfect ending to 2020. After all the hell we have been through, it built to this. Biden aside. We need a hero. I’m a Trekkie. I...
I Love Lucy.
So anyway, I have a belief that if you spend enough money on something, you get to name it. This is why moms get to name their kids. Eh, screw the elaborate backstory. My first personal rig was...
Sub Power.
So anyway, I was out and about and went into a nearby WalMart Market. Hey hey, hold the booing. I don’t like our corporate overlords either, but I’ll still suck off Netflix any day of the week. ...
Purpose, Part 2.
I woke up feeling more relaxed than usual. My girls aloof at the foot of my bed. Their state of complete laziness made me realize just how much tension there has been since Alice was introduced...
The Battle of the Four Cats.
Been about four weeks since Alice adopted me. I’d say it’s her fault, but it’s not all her fault. Thing with Alice is that she is super friendly and naive. And so far, hasn’t picked up on a nu...
Sleep Anxiety.
My anxiety is pretty bad, but it’s probably worst at night. When i’m trying to fall asleep. I call it non-specific anxiety, because I’ll just be laying there, trying to clear my mind, and I’ll ...
Temporal Mechanics.
The day to day seems to go so slow. Then I look at the calendar, and I wonder where the time went. Things could have gone so much differently this year. Almost a month since I got my fourth ca...
Go the Distance.
I feel like maybe I didn’t read enough in my Open Diary days. There is so much unrest now. So much sadness when I scout to see how other writers are doing. It makes me wonder if it was there a...
On Thin Walls.
It is typically a negative phrase. I reckon I like being able to hear my neighbors. I used to prefer silence when trying to sleep. I think it shifted when an ex had to have a fan on at night f...
Classical Conditioning.
So anyway, my fourth cat is rather vocal. Alice is a stray who adopted me about two and a half weeks ago. And by vocal, I mean she meows all the time. The only way she stops meowing is if I pa...
En Español.
So anyway, a coworker commented today that I speak a lot of Spanish. I had a massive moment of reflection, as I didn’t even realize I do it. Working with hispanics, it’s a habit to speak Spanis...
Aragorn.
I love when I come across video essays that make me think and feel. For a long time, my three male heroes have been Spock, the Fonz, and Weird Al. My stock line has been that they reflect aspec...
On Cats.
About two weeks ago, Alice adopted me. I say she adopted me because she literally just walked in my apartment like she owned the place. I apparently was identified as Daddycat. FEED ME. PET M...
On Menstruating Beasts.
Just ordinary women, living out their lives. (Shout-out to trans folk dealing with same but on a different level.) Ooze? Drip? Trinkle? Definitely not a gush. I wonder if it would be easier ...
My Favorite Joke.
I generally use this joke to gauge whether someone can handle me. Because it is kind of me in a nutshell. You think its offensive, but then it turns into innocuous and silly. I have a coworker...
On Passwords.
I have noticed that in movies, guys are generally teased for writing down their passwords. Someone is trying to do something on their computer, so they say “I bet they wrote down their password....
On NaNoWriMo.
Month of November, write a 50k short novel. That’s it. Website for the uninitiated: https://nanowrimo.org/ If I’ve written on what I’ve learned from NaNoWriMo, well, whatever, I’m a few years o...
On Covid, probably Part I
Somewhere between “Kill’em all and let God sort them out” and “Quarantine forever until this goes away!” And “We can’t let our small businesses die.” And “Karen, can you wear a facemask for two s...
Toxicity.
Common logic seems to be to cut ties with those that are toxic. I get it. They are not helping your psyche, nor can you help them. So, you let them go. So I dub thee toxic. Thou art toxic. Wh...
Book Description
Public entries which I hope are on par with Classic Timmy™.
