I miss going out and hanging out with people. Oh right, I never did that…

Bad reporter questions: “How does it feel…?” “How great does it feel…?” “How do you feel…?” #reporting #failure

Good morning all. Balance in all things, most of all you. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

If you compete, you have competitors. You don’t need to compete to be a success. #life #success

Mattresses and pillows from weird companies is the new spam. It seems there is a new “vendor” every day. The pillow guy has taught every loser they can start a mattress or pillow company and claim its the best. #failure

I’m feeling good. It must be my lack of sleep/rest.

The moment you feel sorry for yourself, you have given up. #life #failure

Happy National Lard Day

Good morning world. Make time for the joy in your life. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Never give up unless you’ve tried everything twice.
