I’m blogging again

Well, it’s decided. I’m blogging again.  During the past two years, I concentrated my energies elsewhere and ‘maintained the blog’ . Now, that has changed. My latest project is officially complete and in the hands of an editor/proof reader who will spare NO red pen. I’m quite happy with the finished product. It feels whole – no loose ends. Moreover, I love the way the concept evolved. A concept that I am keeping secret until it’s unveiling, of course.

I feel the need to write on a regular basis – blogging allows that. Besides, I still have lots of Random Nonsense to share. Few care, of course. But I need to do it, damn it! Unlike this caustic world we live in, my musings are light and harmless. I will keep a few traditions – the Ode and Mastercard moments are sure to resurface. However, Adele will NOT be back for Thanksgiving. Just too much yelling for me. Funny as all get out, but way too toxic. And, I work retail! Tis the holiday season – Xanax is not just for gay summer weddings.*

Also, I will post my nonsense randomly. The pressure to come up with ideas on a weekly basis is just too much. When the new book becomes available – in whatever capacity the next few months allow – I will be all over that shit.

Until then, enjoy the previous titles for FREE – that won’t go away. Hell, even when I make a shit ton of money from royalties, I will still be FREE booking it!

Just do as before – click one or all three titles and download – it is that simple and it is that FREE!

Well, TODAY NOVEMBER 17, 2021 that is. After that, it ain’t.

false hope – a trick or a treat?

To look forward to something that has a strong chance of not happening and you may or may not know it.

Recently, I was quite spooked. A situation arose that was rooted in false hope. In an attempt to make sense of this horror story, I voiced my concern to a friend.

Okay, fine  – that’s not entirely true.

I didn’t exactly ‘voice concern’ – ranting incessantly is a better description.  It was warranted, mind you. And, it was rather frightening. The delusion of false hope in this matter was inhibiting daily functioning that inadvertently affected me. See, my freak out was completely justified. Thankfully, my friend was patient and objective enough to take my emotional outburst out of the equation. By doing so, he allowed better insight. Oddly enough, I was receptive to his words.

(Side note to those that have known me for years: Tricks on you . I have evolved – a skeleton of existence no more.)

Anyway, after that conversation, I was at peace. It was quite cathartic – instantly yielding much needed perspective. However, the more I pondered his synoptic evaluation  of the situation, the more I realized I ultimately disagreed with his assessment. Oh, I was still calmed and remained at peace – which is good. But I so began doubting what he said.

(Sheet! I don’t stand a ghost of a chance of ever maturing, eh!?)

In short, he stated that sometimes false hope is better than none.

Think about it, we’ve all been there – thought that. Hell, I want a bigger dick. I’m a 56 year old white male. It just ain’t gonna happen. However, entertaining the thought that it could happen every now and then can make a shitty day … better. But, thankfully, my diluted thinking stops there.

False hope that does not affect the interests of others is morally permissible but not virtuous

Unfortunately,  the situation I sought advice about does affect others AND disrupts daily functioning. This is problematic.

There’s plenty more to say regarding that, but to do so is well beyond the scope of this post. Besides, I am totally over it and moved on. I ain’t crossing no CAUTION tape and entering that demolition bound haunted house. There is nothing false about my hopes. Everything I aspire to attain is rooted in realistic expectations; a belief that it will come to fruition.

Well, aside from that whole size issue mentioned above, that is. If that actually happened, it would be quite the treat!

                                                                   Boo!

                                               Happy Halloween

Fall into FREE reads

Yep, you guessed it – another FREE fall all – today only!

Get it?

Even if you don’t, you know what to do. If not, I’m sure you’ll figure it out.

I am almost done with a polish job on the new project – completely stocked. This story has gotten me through a-l-o-t of nasty shit of the last 2 years – started Sept 21, 2019. Besides the obvious shit show that went down, there was more – so much more unfortunately.

This project got me through. Hell, much cheaper than a therapist. All I did was write. And, edit. Then, edit more.

Loved every second of it.

Anyway, enough rambling nonsense. Click on a link(s) and download some FREE reads.

Happy Fall!

 

three little bits of really random nonsense

Why did the frog take the bus to work?

because his car got – wait for it – toad.

(courtesy of Roy’s for the marquess musing, And, Barney Stinson for the delayed punchline)

  • I am Adam Thomas and I am once again picking purple peppers from my garden. Unfortunately, there is neither a peck nor purpose to this fact.*
  • I haven’t been to the Farmer’s Market yet this season. It’s all good. I think I would have serious rage if I went and saw the inane parking by those fucking citidots. I’m having issues driving to the grocery store – less than 1 mile away. Then, I actually have to go inside and shop. Fuck that shit! Why on earth would I go to the Farmer’s Market and subject myself willingly to that cluster of a tourist fuck?

(insert: heavy sigh)

Good news – my first edit is almost complete. It’s taken a tad longer than anticipated, but I am excited to be done. And, to have it read by someone other than myself!

*Oh, I have potatoes, too. #waytogo,idaho!

Happy Father’s Day!

To celebrate Father’s Day, I decided to have another all-for-FREE FREE-for -all. Because that is really what Life is all about , eh!? A Free-for-all. More often than not, I am just free falling, But … .

Click on any of the book jacket icons to download any one or all three titles – FREE.

My self-titled Memoir is a total guy read and very entertaining, I might add. However, I included those ‘other’ titles by my alter ego to balance out the beach read quota. Pause. 

Whatever that means!?

Regardless of your choice, please remember to …

Well, your Dad, okay!?

I ain’t wastin’ no more time

Well, it’s been a while since I posted. So, I thought I would maintain the blog with an update AND an iconic musical number – more like a blast from the past, yet it’s so relevant.

Please know, my neglect was not in vain. My latest project is complete. Yeah! I am extremely happy with what it’s become. However, I haven’t reread what was written yet.  Unfortunately, editing was never a strength. But it is the nature of the beast. Considering I started Sept 21 2019, I am a bit nervous – Yikes!

Since I am at such a epiphanic point, I wanted to celebrate the success of another novel under my belt. What better way to do so then big hair and some chick doing an acrobatic stunt on a Jaguar?!

Pause

Besides, I need inspiration to commence the edit. So, without further ado – here I go again!

Enjoy!

FREE Spring Break read(s)

Hoppy Reading!

403

Well, I have hit another milestone – 400 posts – 403 to be exact. But who’s counting other than me?

Yeah!

I intend to keep the celebratory post to a minimum if that’s okay. The focus remains my latest project.

Yeah!

Besides, a song by Panic at the Disco is more appropriate. However, considering it is 304, celebrating my 403 makes my timing perfect!

Pause

Speaking about moms – my mother would be proud as well. Though, I’m not thinking she had any idea that I blogged. Hell, she probably didn’t even know there was such a thing. See – my technological ignorance is inherited.

Yeah!

close shave

I am a shaver. Worse, I use disposable razor (insert – gasp) In my defense, I have tried a refillable cartridge type system. Once. It was a disaster. Throw all the shaving shade you want – I can take it.  I’m married. And, I work retail pharmacy. Oh, one additional little sideburn – I have never been a beard, dude. Even in November.
Pause
Yes, I realize the disadvantages and, more importantly, the environmental impact from this ghastly grooming ritual.
  • every single year, Americans throw away 2 billion disposable razors.
  • disposable razors can’t be recycled in the U.S. – translation: landfill – UGH!
  • Gillette, an American-based company, has its razor handles manufactured in China; blades are made in Sweden – so much for Made in the U.S.A, eh?! double UGH!
A few months ago, a razor/cartridge shit thing was on clearance. I’m talking under $2 clearance. Yeah, baby! Not only that –  it was a solid product. So, I decided to try it again.
I liked it. In fact, I have decided to dispose of my previous regimen. (pun so intended) I AM a changed man. Added bonus – the blades seem to last longer than disposables. Sweet.

Harry’s    …  make products for all men, thoughtfully. (whatever that’s supposed to mean)

We believe that you shouldn’t have to compromise when it comes to the products you use, so ours are designed to be effective and to provide a great experience.
https://www.harrys.com/en/us
I feel the need to qualify something. The clearance item I purchased was not a Harry’s product. Ever since I rediscovered the benefits of a cartridge razor, I became more astute to available products. Once I found out about this Harry’s stuff, I was convinced.
 Very cool.
When I decided to create this post, I felt responsible to do my due diligence and research a bit, hoping a recycled product was available. Thankfully, my search was not in vain – Preserve Products
America Company, Preserve Productscan provide a more environmentally friendly option than the average disposable razor. One hundred percent recycled, Preserve Products’ triple razor system razor handles are made from no. 5 (polypropylene plastics) from yogurt cups. It is BPA free and the handle can be recycled again through their Gimme 5 program. The lubricating strips on the disposable blades are predominantly made of aloe vera and Vitamin E oil and are vegan-friendly with a strict no animal testing policy.
Harry’s has some formidable competition. However, to abandon my newly purchased system would defeat the purpose of being environmentally conscious. Therefore, I will tuck that little blade of intel in this post to – wait for it –  Preserve my intention for future use.
That, and because if I don’t, I would just plain forget.
Happy grooming!
