Joey's Philosophy
@joeysphilosophy.bsky.social
60 yo gay man. Opinionated, sarcastic, caustic and honest. I never censored myself for my mother and I won't do it here.
I vent now, so I don't become bitter later. No DMs

Musings of an ol' man:
You teach people how to treat you more readily by what you accept quietly than by what you rage about.

Self doubt means you're asking questions. Embrace that shit and ask the next question.

Musings of an old man:
When a friend is willing, able and planning to help, and it turns out you can do it by yourself after all, you still owe that friend a debt of gratitude just for being there.
Sometimes doing it by yourself is easier with that net underneath you.

(and I realize I'm a lucky man)
My mom was the only person I've ever met who took me exactly as I am. She didn't think I was perfect by any means. But she never wavered.
Through the loves, the laughs, the tears, the fights....the bail money, she was always there. 🙂↕️

When I was young, and on many occasions, I found myself asking..."What the fuck is wrong with people"?
Social media has finally and definitively answered that question for me. 🤷♂️

Musings is an old man:
Don't date anyone, man or woman, who spends more time looking at themselves in a mirror than they spend looking at you.
That alone should tell you who's more important to them.

If you don't have anything nice to say, at least make sure you spell it correctly and use proper grammar. 😆

I hit the jackpot with my family. One time a friend of my sister's found out I was gay and asked her if I was a practicing homosexual.
She said.... "No, I think he should know what he's doing by now". 😆
Yes, we're all smartasses. 🤷♂️

How people can't understand that when the people around them are better off, so the people around them, they're better off too? 🤷♂️
It's beyond me. I don't even remember having to be taught that?

Controversial opinion:
The song Hallelujah is not a religious song.
It's about the finding of, the ecstasy of, the pitfalls of, the loss of, the release of and the grief of love, in that order.

My mother had a Ronco handheld sewing machine. But she never really sewed anything.
You see, I'm 5'1 and the tallest member of my family. My mother spent a lot of time hemming up pant legs. LOL

I've lived with my mother's worry gene for 60 years. And I've always told myself "It's not as bad in the real world as it is in your head, Joey".
Well, that's out the fucking window, ain't it?! 😟

Misanthropy 101, lesson #444:
Our species is very adept at anger. We literally have it down to an art form. We flippantly call it the art of war.
We're just not very good at pointing that exasperation in the right direction.

I have a really solid home security system:
If anyone broke in they'd look around, probably shake their heads for a sec, and leave a $20 on the coffee table for me! 😆

I've gotten worse and worse at holding my tongue as the years pass. And I wasn't very good at it in the first place.
Don't ask me my opinion if you don't really want it. If you just want someone to blow smoke up your ass to avoid a disagreement, you've come to the wrong fucking queue! 😆

Isn't it funny how your god agrees with you about everything you apply to other people. But it's all a little iffy when you look in the mirror?
Oh yeah, that's why they came up with the "forgiveness" loophole.
Isn't it funny again how you never apply that loophole to others?
