K-GAY TV Goes to the Movies
This could all be an exercise in how emotionally broken and busted up I am.
Or bitter.
Or self-loathing.
Or what have you.
But I watched some movie and now I want to talk about it.
Merry Christmas Eve, by the way!
Anyway. I’ve fallen into this avoidance trap. I don’t know why, but I’m doing anything in front of the TV to avoid watching Christmas movies. Maybe it’s because I watched Bad Moms…

He was just grazed by it, but there’s still blood.
Signaling that the sky is fated to shatter,
cracks appear in the canopy above us
and what once flew becomes grounded.
Mossy memories grow over with
thick clover, the lackluster luckless
lock lips, lost a kiss to a chronic illness,
every moment a sickness.
Quixotic optics reveal coffins
but the tilt of the earth skews his view.
Hands clasp then collapse,
relapse, cast aside, collide.
He was someone of consequence once.
Maybe. Now he’s lost in an
ecumenopolis trying to save
some of that bliss but it slips away
into future day, so he has to keep living
in this labyrinth.
Insults were flung,
hung in the air,
then splintered,
cracked open,
old hope spilled
out.

I Can’t Have It All?
Part 2: What the hell was I thinking?
Damn universe, always teaching me lessons…like crippling humility.
So, there I was…having most of it. Gently nudged into balance by the Silver Fox. I’d gotten Angela all spruced up for her annual check-in with Lyft, but was focused more on those other pillars that make me feel like a normal person productive: writing and exercising.
No big news on the…

I Can Have It All!
Part 1: Everything’s fine!
I creep into every week with a simple goal – to have a day or several where I succeed in all three pillars of what I consider a “good day”. I want to make some money, exercise and write.
That’s it. Nothing earth shattering. No outrageous goals like cure cancer before lunch.
You may wonder how I struggle to accomplish this. Like, why is my weekly goal “a day or…

Well, Now I Feel…
Something.
Bad?
Nostalgic?
Accomplished?
Formerly accomplished?
Probably that last one. So…thanks, Facebook Memories.
Three years?!? How has it been that friggin’ long already…since I’ve had a date?
Kidding. Trying/not trying.
But I guess it’s just one more reminder that it’s been a long pandemic. If we factor those two years out, then it’s only been one year!
Don’t get me wrong, I tried…

Idle Hands
What people are saying:
<crickets>
What I hear:
Tick-tock, good old Xtopher…it’s been a minute since your lazy ass posted anything.
And those bitter and twisted voices in my head ain’t wrong. I’m just not feeling it. My days, Mondays or not, aren’t manic as a certain song might have us believe. This is just more of that ennui that I know and tolerate so well. Well, on the fancy side. On the…

It’s My Anniversary
Of sorts.
The Facebook reminded me of a personal milestone when I checked in this morning.
Two years…
I’m really conflicted about this.
On the one hand, this life event was the culmination of leaving professional work in April of 2018 and giving myself time to indulge in my hobbies. Well, hobby: writing. More specifically, story telling. It turns out that my only other hobby turned out to be rage…

Valentimes Part One
Yeah, I posted Valentimes Part Duex before I posted Part One. Also, I’m posting Part One after the big day. I’m not offering a defense of my timing, either way. It’s my blog and…
So, there.
Anywho…I’ve given between 3500 and 4000 rides since I started driving for Lyft about 18 months ago.
There’s been fewer than expected drunks.
More than anticipated Tinder “dates” – and you’d be surprised how…

Break Time!
This might be more of a Hail Mary post than an actual blog entry. So expect to be appropriately underwhelmed.
That said, this email from yesterday caught me off guard, enter the Hail Mary portion of this entry.
About a month ago, I skeptically clicked on a link on the Facebook that I fully expected to create a full blown spam implosion of my account. It was from NORC, the National Opinion…

I’m Not Dead
…just very badly burned…out.
I guess that’s what you could call it.
I hear people referring to COVID-Fatigue or Lockdown Fatigue. Maybe this is a little bit of that?
Maybe I should do what the cool kids all seem to do and self-diagnose with Anxiety? Nah, I’m sure it’s not that…the 20-teens version of Epstein-Barr Syndrome. Which I guess is no longer a syndrome but a virusfrom the herpes family,…

Well, That Was A Surprise
You know, when I tapped out my quick observational post yesterday about misspellings and malapropisms, I really didn’t expect much to come of it.
~150 words
~400 followers
It just didn’t seem like anything more than therapeutic whining into the web on my part. And it’s not like I’ve ever expected AtLeastIHaveAFrigginGlass to have a viral moment. My readers read me for what I assume is either…
