Description

I'm just on here to gripe about everyday life but I realize that somehow there's a silver lining! That silver lining is just us getting older and wiser. Everything is not right or wrong, left or right, or even good or bad. Everything is greyscaled at best.

Just a few updates about me and my situation. Also, drivers who are in the passing lane and don't move.
There's an old saying to 'keep your friends close but not too close,' which I wholeheartedly agree. But would you give a stranger your whole story knowing that they'll never see you again? I did, find out what happened.
Talk about a random episode. I give my update on sober October. Missing items when traveling and ordering at a bar during sobriety.

For those who live in communities (townhouses, condos, apartments, etc.) what is your biggest pet peeve? What person(s) at your community is area offender (someone who bends/breaks rules). Find out mine in this episode.
RTO - Return to office is a highly anticipated event, especially for 2025. Many companies are planning on it and mandating employees to come back to work. What are your thoughts?

Have you've ever work someone who really knows how to 'kiss ass' to the boss? Maybe you're one yourself. My thoughts on this.
Listen to this one episode - it's dear to me. My vulnerability and my way taking control of my life.
Do you give yourself time to mourn after a break-up or bad incident or do you keep yourself busy so you don't have to think about it? After a month it finally hit me but I'm doing things to regain my confidence. Also, people who peddle their religion at events - what is that about?
You have to hear my less-than-stellar moment on the anniversary of someone's passing. Also, restaurants that 'gently' start pushing you out well before closing time.
You ever notice how people are willing to share their thoughts and feelings on any topic, especially on social media. I have the mantra, "If they don't ask, they don't want it." Yet we throw it around like cheap wine. You want to stand out above everyone else? Just listen to someone and offer your sympathies, that's it. I don't tell them how special they are or how strong this is going to make them. I especially will not tell them what to do. People appreciate that. It somehow made me a better 'conversationalist' - from what I'm told.
We've all been in a situation where we host some type of event and people either invite other people (that you prefer not to be there) or people assume that they're invited. This happened at my work, luckily it worked itself out. Also, when do you know a relationship is over? I'll tell you when I knew mine was.
This episode went hand in hand for me based on a question that a friend posed. Someone is really annoying him and asked at what point should he say or do something about it. I go over my tactics for annoying people and how my last relationship started to annoy me.
This is a different episode for me. You can tell I struggled with the episode not only because I was unprepared but by the fact because my visiting family member confirmed the latest life decisions that I've made. Not by advice or by action - just simply showing up. YOu ever have anyone like that?
You ever had one small significant event/person help you decide on a major life decision? What's going on with restaurant equipment going out here in Portland?
This is happening to me again - an executive visiting our office at the wrong time. Every time I have family visiting (twice a year) - someone happens to come into our office for a 'visit'. To make matters worse - I spend a lot of time creating a WOT (waste of time) presentation that they look at for about 30 seconds - at best.
It's rainy and muggy in Portland, OR. Yes, you read that right. Seems that I can't escape the weather. This and how it shows we're going into fall with kids going back to school = traffic.
Breakups and therapy

Breakups and therapy

One of my shortest episodes ever. Just wanted to get your takes on how long breaking up with someone should take - the actual process. Also, is couples therapy even worth it? I don't think so. What do you all think?
Why does the city government have to close down the city for an event? Why not just have it at city hall? Also, do film critics say the opposite of the obvious just to draw into a conversation? I think so.
Spoiler alert - In this episode, I talk about my experience watching 'The Last Voyage of the Demeter' and how it took liberties steering away from its original source. granted, the original source didn't give much detail about this story. It doesn't feel like an intense horror movie or something even affiliated with Bram Stoker's Dracula.
