A couple of doggy pics for levity. May I present Olly. To quote the old man in Manchester who Christie met on a walk "You will never have a better or more loyal friend." He was right. Dogs bring me so much joy. Great for anxiety and depression. Unconditional love ❤️

I will keep my side of the street clean. I will take it one day at a time. In these confusing and troubled times I will channel my feelings through creativity. I will have hope.

I'm gonna miss you Hank it was fun having you to stay for a bit. Hank the tank. I thought he was going to get big when he got older but I have since changed my mind. Probably some kind of Coonhound mix. He was saved from the NC hurricane floods! Lucky pooch.

If someone is micro managing you like mad, be nice to them they aren't happy. Also, if you are butting heads with someone on how to do something, bear in mind that if you don't tell them how to do it the world will quickly show them when it goes wrong so maybe just let experience be the teacher.

Loving your job is a privilege in the extreme. I'm a lucky boy. That's all.

Morning thoughts in conversation with a friend.
Be happy for the success of others. They are not competition they are compatriots. Fellow travelers. (A little bitching along the way is allowed though. It is fun let's be honest.) Naked, selfish ambition seems so small next to supportive enthusiasm.

One thing I am growing to appreciate on this platform is that it is that I am not followed by lunatics like on some other platforms...yet. when you use social media as a promotional platform you cant really block everyone you disagree with. I can on here for now 😌

Trying get used to defaulting to here instead of the book of face. I wish all my buddies were on here though. Not quite satiating my social media dopamine habit! I'm making videos about scales and will start posting them on here very soon! Time to earn these new glasses with intellectual content!

Jeez imagine being told to make your screenplay boring enough to not have to pay attention to. Reminds me of playing at a pub with sports on in the background.
This is not how it works at all. WE DECIDE WHAT DOES NOT GET FULL ATTENTION. You can’t DESIGN a thing to not pay attention to. It is our SACRED RIGHT TO DECIDE
ENOUGH 🤬🤬🤬

I must remember to love and cherish people and make sure they know they are loved. I will make extra effort to love my neighbours. Even the annoying ones. Especially the annoying ones. Kindness is king in these strange times.

Coziness when you are a little kid absolutely crushes adult coziness, no contest. Like when you think of “cozy” it’s always tied to when you felt cozy as a kid, right? We’re just chasing that vibe?
