The knowledge that what holds your back the most is yourself is a bit of a double edged sword.
Knowing it means it puts all the responsibility on you to make things happen, which most people just can't handle, so they go back to making BS excuses as to why they can't succeed.

If Biden can't remember all the criminal things he has done, does that mean he is innocent? LOL

No one is forever.
Some are short fun adventures.
Some are long hard lessons.
Some will test your soul and your will.
But one way or another, they will leave your life (or you will leave theirs)

When it gets to the point of "enough is enough" the hard part isn't the leaving.
The hard part is the not looking back, or worse yet, going back the situation that you just left.
Once you walk away, NEVER look back.

Just a reminder, I don't care what flag you fly, what god you worship, or what political affiliation you claim. None of those innately make you a good person and better than the rest of us.
If you do good, that makes you good. End of story.

Happy Monday Morning
Another week of fun and adventures, with the added bonus of a holiday in the middle to screw everything up.
My Monday mood?
Tired - Just looking at what I need to get done this week is exhausting.

I wish people understood the level of patience I've cultivated over the years to not just go Homer Simpson on people over their stupidity.
Why am I anti-social? Because the level of general stupidity in the world is just too damn high.

The older I get, the more I realize that the "average" person, is actually not very bright. I keep lowering the bar of my expectations, and they keep failing to make it over. 🙄

Just a reminder, there are some things that are never polite to ask about in modern society.
I mean, why their grandpa has blue eyes and blonde hair when he came from Argentina is just going to cause trouble.

I am at this point in life. Am I cringe?
I sure hope so. I do not care in the least if being who I am and enjoying life is 'cringy' in someone else's eyes. I don't want to live their life anyway.

GUYS - Is your doctor trying to get you to take Metformin, or has he prescribed it to you? I'm guessing he doesn't know the latest information on it and that it cancels out the positive effects of exercise on your body.

The time change and the shortening days are conspiring to make me want to go into hibernation. I think next winter, I'll escape to warmer regions during the Big Dark.

Regardless of party or ideology, men are significantly more tolerant than women, so much so that the gender difference dominates the ideology difference.
This makes liberal white women make so much more sense.

If you listen to what women say, what the surveys indicate and all of that, what women really want are quiet, lap dog men, who do what they are told, stay near them but not too close, and are at their beck and call at all times.

Coming from a small town in North Idaho, I can verify that this is accurate.
Growing up there, there wasn't much to do other than drink, shoot at things, and have bonfires. That is great, but how many years can you do that before it gets old?
So I left.

If you have $400 and your ex needs $100 and your girlfriend wants $200, what do you do?
As far as they will know, I'm broke! LOL
When it comes to dating and relationships, never let your women know how much money you have and NEVER act like an ATM for them.

10:30? If you message me after 9 you aren't going to hear from me until the next day. That thing is set to go into quiet mode at 9 and unless you are on the special list, you are SOL.
Probably miss a few late-night booty calls that way, but oh well... LOL

When did women get so entitled in dating that they have started thinking like this? Why on Earth should a guy have to pay for YOUR kid's childcare?
I've seen so many people commenting and saying that they have had women try this sort of thing.
