Principles
Principles? Things that define how I live? How the hell should I know? How about Don’t Be a Dick? How’s that one float your boat?
Okay… let’s see what I can come up with here… My family comes first. My wife and my step kids are put ahead of everything else in existence. After that comes my extended family and my job. Are those principles? I don’t know.
The more I think of it, don’t be a dick seems more and more like the correct answer to this question. How other people go about their day to day and live their lives is up to them. Let them do their thing. Live and let live. If you are happy in your life then I am happy for you and I will stand by your choices. Something like that. Don’t be an asshole, be an ally. Compassion and understanding above all, even if I don’t understand right off the bat.
Does any of this make sense? I doubt it but they are my principles not anyone else’s, so as long as it makes sense to me on some level then we’re doing okay, right? Right.
The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon – Spoiler Free Review
The first season of Daryl Dixon just wrapped up. My spoiler free review is this:
On the whole, I enjoyed the entire season, though there’s a lot of French dialog so you can’t get distracted by your phone or you’ll miss all of the subtitles and you’ll have to rewind to find out what you missed while clearing off the notifications on your wordpress.com blog, or your instagram, or whatever.
Apart from that, I will say that the entire six episode series is worth it just for the tag scene at the end of the last episode. I won’t give you more than that, but the bad assery that you’ve come to love through 11 seasons of The Walking Dead is alive and well.
Enjoy, zombie fans.
No Explanation
No, I will not explain what’s going on here.
(Not Quite) Daily Haiku for You #56
There is a new episode of The Walking Dead tonight. It’s the Daryl Dixon show’s season finale. Can I come up with a haiku inspired by zombies on TV?
Zombies on TV.
Where’d I put my cricket bat?
Bop ’em on the head.
IKEA Explosion
I had one job today. Put together the day bed we got from IKEA.
It came to us in four boxes. None of them seemed terribly large but once I had all of the boxes open and the pieces separated it sure felt like a lot. The instruction book was only 2436612457 pages long. I think I am a little more than half way through it all but I am toast and will finish it after I sleep a lot and recover.
My stomach has been okay today outside of another one of those 3+ hour stomach aches. I finished lunch at 2:30 and at about 5:30 my stomach was hurting. Jen made a wonderful chicken and quinoa dish for dinner and it solved my problem. I have a long way to go to hit my 80 grams of protein goal though so I think I am going to go have a protein bar or something.
The season finale of Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon is on tonight. I need to brush up on my French. Wish me luck.

Procrastination is My Middle Name
What have I been putting off? More like what haven’t I been putting off!
I am a procrastinator. I am a master procrastinator. I am a legendary procrastinator. I am the undisputed king of procrastinators. Everyone needs to find that one thing in life that they are really good at and I found that my one thing is being an epic procrastinator.
I procrastinate at work. There are projects that I have to do regularly that I just can’t wrap my brain around unless it’s the absolute last minute. I drive myself nuts when I do it, but I do it all the time.
Home improvement projects? Why do it today when you can put it off until tomorrow. Example: When Harry moved out he took his bedroom furniture with him. Jen and I have been planning to replace it so that he can have a bedroom when he comes home. There are four boxes worth of an IKEA bed in his room as I type this. Have they been opened and assembled? Nope. That’s actually my main project for today, but it could have been done yesterday. Instead I repeatedly fell asleep watching Doctor Who. Peak level procrastination.
Even my stupid little creative projects get pushed off. I promised myself I would take the cameras out for a walk this morning, yet here I sit right at the high point of golden hour typing this silly post. Also, when was the last time I played guitar? Last month. Why? Procrastination.
Like I said, I am the king. You’re going to get a photo of that IKEA bed today if it’s the last thing I do. There comes a time when procrastination must end, am I right? Sure. I’m the king after all.
(Not Quite) Daily Haiku for You #55
You didn’t think I was going to forget today’s haiku, did you?
No, I did not forget. Today’s hailu comes to you from the land of gastric bypass surgery recovery fun.
My stomach’s a jerk.
Why you gotta be that way?
Can’t you just play nice?
Exhausted Cats
The cats are exhausted from a long day of sleeping and doing nothing. I’m exhausted too. I fell asleep watching an episode of Doctor Who. I woke up as it was ending, restarted from the beginning and fell asleep again. Ugh, doofus.
I am still hoping to do another photo walk in the morning but I really don’t know if I will have the energy. I have a lot of stuff to do tomorrow and I should probably sleep in, but the weather is going to be good for shootin’ pitchers so I am torn on what to do.
What do you think the cats would do if they found themselves in my position?
Sleep.
