The orphanage...

Day 23: An accomplishment you are proud of.

 There are a number of things I am proud of.

  • My Associate's Degree
  • My High School Degree
  • The fact that I was accepted to 3 music schools for college
  • The number of movies I've seen
  • The number of books I've read.
  • The life lessons I've learned.
  • My potsticker sauce.
I could go on.

But, can I show you what I'm proudest of?

The orphanage.

I established the first private orphanage in New York City.

Oh wait, that was Eliza Hamilton.

Ok, add-on knowing every line from Hamilton: An American Musical.

Go, me!

Ok, with that out of the way, I had a good day today. Ran three miles with my good friend Jack. Went on a crazy urban hiking adventure with my dad, and then went to a friend's "turkbirthday" (He likes Thanksgiving, so he has a second one for his birthday).

Overall it was a good day, and for that I am happy.
So far despite me not liking February all that much, the end of it is turning out quite nice.

Tomorrow I hope to do some yard work, get the backyard cleared out so I can actually start to enjoy it a bit.

Great now I have Hamilton stuck in my head.

STARTING...AGAIN?

Start. Stop. Start. Stop. Start. Stop. It seems to be a constant trend no? And it’s not like I don’t have the time to update this and actually keep track of… well everything. A routine is what I need, but how do I hold on to a routine when work doesn’t allow me to? Meaning that my schedule varies week to week, and I’ve just started school again (yay?), and I need to start getting my butt into the gym again. Ok. So that’s what I’ll do. I will set a routine, or attempt to. I will sit down either at this laptop or my phone and just write. Doesn’t matter what I write, as long as I put letters together to make words, to then makes sentences, to then make paragraphs, etc etc. Start. Stop. Start. Stop. Let’s leave this on a Start

Be a Super.

I'm gonna be honest. I really don't feel like doing this today. I physically do not feel good, and there's a bunch of stuff currently going on behind the scenes that I just don't want to discuss in a public space. It might be like this for a while, so these posts are probably going to be short for a bit. Sorry. Day 2: A person you admire. I think I covered something similar last month, and I think I said something along the lines that people can always let you down so try not to put much hope in other people. And considering how the mighty have fallen all over, its hard to have heroes. So I'm going to go with the fictional kind. I've been reading a lot of old Wonder Woman Comics, and the more I read, and the more I move away from the movie representation (which I love btw), the more I look to a fictional character for strength. And this isn't the first time I do this. It's very easy for me to look to fictional characters for inspiration and str...

Which definition?

Day 27: Conversely, write about something that's kicking ass right now.  This feels like an AP English assignment, that is if I'm understanding the use of the word "Conversely". Most white allies would rather not use their privilege for anything other than making a small statement, although conversely some white allies will be kick ass like Jessica Chastain and use her position of power to make sure her costar Octavia Spencer be paid the same as she, using her white privilege for good. That is the standard definition and use of "Conversely" that I am aware of. Or do they mean "conversationally"? In that case: Did you guy hear how Jessica Chastain is totally kicking ass right now? From what I read online, she saw that her friend and co-star Octavia Spencer was getting the same amount of pay that she was getting for the same project. So instead of just stating her objection like most white allies, she actually did something about it. She to...
