Yes? Epic, thanks.

Answer the following question — What’s your favorite season: Winter, Spring, Summer, or Fall?

Anyone wanna take me under their wing?

Knickknack

Recently I’ve been struck with the overwhelming desire to get rid of almost everything I own. It feels strange to feel as though, almost suddenly that, very few things have any value to me anymore. I’ve never been one that had too many attachments to too many things but I think I’ve reached a whole new level.

Maybe this is a part of growing up? Could this me my psyche balancing itself out in some strange way? I’m probably thinking about it too much. I should just roll with it, eh? Onward.

Instead of replying to posts that appear on my Dashboard that irritate me, fill me with questions, and/or make my eyes roll, from now on, I’m just going to unfollow.

I’ve lost count how many times I’ve tried to initiate conversations with some of you guys. Again and again I’m either met with confrontation, judgement, or complete silence. If I’m not worth your time then it isn’t worth my time to want to get to know you better and to try and understand where you’re coming from.

Yes, for me, this post is uncharacteristically passive aggressive. Hell, even posting something like this is uncharacteristic of me. I’m just tired of feeling like I often do in real life in a part of my online world.

No hard feelings intended, I’m just ready to foster some personal growth.

Ears of Corn

My right ear has been jacked-up (clogged with earwax) since Sunday evening. I saw a doctor about it yesterday who said it was packed all the way to my eardrum (apparently a rarity).

After shoving a mini shovel in there and hardly any wax coming back out, he irrigated it with water. The water was only successful in that it left me dizzy and with a headache until this morning.

I’ve always had problems with my ears. The last time this happened the doctor was able to clear the whole thing out. This doctor didn’t do that. Instead, he prescribed me some boric acid-based drops to use. So far, no good.

It’s amazing how shitty you can feel without being able to fully use one of your ears. It’s like I’m constantly disoriented and not sure exactly where I am in a spacial sense. Boy oh boy can I not wait to hear again!

Thanks for checking it out, good sir! I wish it hadn’t taken me so long to get it looking how I wanted it to (on-and-off for a few months) but shit happens. It gave me something to do.

Did you notice that if you navigate to a new page or just reload the page you’re on that you’ll get a new header/logo graphic? Right now there are seven of them that will randomly show up. Yeah, I’m a dork.

Two-Thousand Posts

It took me 264 days to post my 1,000th post here on Tumblr. I celebrated that personal milestone two years ago yesterday. Today brings another personal milestone for me- my 2,000th post.

With this post I’m releasing the third version of my site. If you’re reading this from your Dashboard and feel inspired to visit my page, let me know what you think. There are lots of changes (overall design, permalink pages, sidebar contents, etc.) and additions (a randomized set of header logos, a spot in my sidebar that I’ll keep updated with some of my favorite Tumblr-ers, a link to a list I’m really proud to have created, etc.) so feedback is welcome.

I’ve got to send out great thanks to those of you that I follow, some of whom I have truly grown to admire. Interacting with you guys is really a privilege and it’s humbling to call you my internet buddies. Also, when it comes to filling up your askhole and replying to your posts, thanks for putting up with my sarcasm, straightforwardness, and usually unfiltered honesty.

To those of you that follow me, thanks for allowing me to fill up your Dashboard. It always feels good for someone like me to know that at least one other person likes something I like.

Hopefully I’ll be able to celebrate my 3,000th post sooner than two years from now. I really hope to post more in the upcoming months as the upcoming months have lots of things in store for me. Let’s see what happens. Onward!
