So yeah I decided to ease into the early new year on social media and offer this opening slot to a guest poster. Please welcome friend of the blog, January 31, 2016!

Hey everybody, January 31, 2016 here, just checking in a few days early to say I hope you can all make it to me this Sunday. Here are just some of the incredible things I’ve got planned:

YOU KNOW: births, deaths, truths, lies, connection, confusion, celebration, despair, war, peace, ignorance, tolerance, greed, generosity

JOINED BY: seeds planted, secrets plundered, circles widened, doors closed, genders dissed, genders switched, high-fives left hanging, hugs held too long

ALSO LIKELY TO APPEAR: moral victories, mores abused, stolen bliss, blinkers mostly unused, burgers with tomatoes on them that weren’t supposed to, sentences ending with prepositions, sentences unspoken, sentences served

SPECIAL GUESTS: callused hands, blood vessels burst, honest dollars earned, fingers never worked, glances, sighs, abandoned shoes, justice, fraud, love in the afternoon

WINNER OF THE 1/31/16 PREMONITION AWARD: Narkeet Awljara of Jakarta, Indonesia…you will not ride the 4:15 today…you’ll take the 5:15, thank you very much…

October’s Blog Post In November

Umm…

Oh hey there, everybody, October’s Blog Post here. How’s it going? What?

Yeah I know, the calendar says November 10th, I’m late, I get it. I overslept, okay? Embarrassing. I know, I know, I had 31 days to get my ass out here and I blew it. But hey, I’m here now, so….

Boo?

 

<Cough>

 

<Crickets>

Yeah, not so effective anymore, is it?

Look, I recognize I’ve got a problem and I’m seeing somebody about it. A professional. A nice lady. Active listener, reasonable rates, scented candles–anyway, not that it’s any of your business but that’s what I’m doing about it. And not that you want to know this but one of the personal calls to action in this working on myself stuff is me accepting me for who I am; to call it out and own it, basically.

So here it is: I’m October’s Blog Post and I have a tricky relationship with deadlines.

To clarify, I’m not a lazy sack like August,  but I’m no dippy chippy overachiever like April either. I actually write in my daily goals calendar now, okay, but I’m not about to decorate it with glitter.

What I’m hoping is that we can all move on from this and by next year have a really good laugh about how awful I used to be. What do you say? Huh? Water under the bridge? Come here, you, yeah all of you. Group hug!

Oh. Whoa. Hold up. Back off.

That’s me, my therapist’s calling.

I’m serious, back off. Don’t stunt my personal growth, people!
