Wanting
An Ultra Bernedoodle is 60 - 85 percent Bernese Mountain Dog.
His hair will be curly but not in that tight afro way like a poodle.
His nose just reaches my desk as I sit and type. Boop.
Aggie.
I massage his soft flops of ears between my fingers and pick boogers from his eyes - one brown one green.
Where was I…
I follow 3 maybe 5 breeders online. I think one of them is in California. Drivable.
You get them as 8 week old pups, but the dog I practice fake pets on is a 75 pound chunga.
Breeders always have fresh batches.
F1
F1b
I scroll past those.
Ultra, that’s my boy.
For a second I have 5 thousand bucks to spend and almost tap inquire. I hover but I don’t click.
I tell myself it’s the money.
I’ve had a new iPhone in my cart for 2.5 years..
I find the serial number to the one I have and plug it in to test the trade-in value.
Choose a Carrier…
Apple Care for Peace of Mind…
The tab stays open for a day or two until I forget why I had it open so I just close it.
Maybe next year’s will be better.
Instead of counting sheep I fantasize about pie.
I tear the lid of a fresh banana cream and choose my utensil of choice.
A fork isn’t right for a custard filling so I opt for a spoon, this time and everytime.
One of these days I’ll actually eat the real thing. It’s been awhile.
I say it’s because I’m dieting.
Maybe.

Things Worth Your Time
David Bar - Still my favorite protein bar
Just got back from Florida, I tied my PR at 6 of these things in one flight. Not in one sitting, i like to pace myself. David recently released their “Bronze” series. Haven’t tried those yet - I’m still partial the PB chocolate and Fudge Brownie.
Pen Heaven - Aptly named website that might as well be porn
As I dig into my mind and expose the roots and pebbles and shell casings in writing, I’m starting to discover a bit of, shall we call it… neurodiversity. I like things -not just any thing, very particular things. One of them is pens. The right pen in my hands feels the same as when you stick your hand out the window and do those dolphin hand waves. This site has them all.
Allain De Botton - On Friendship
Friendships are hard. I feel silly “practicing” being a friend, like it’s something I should have coded into me like breathing. Practice makes everything better, so why wouldn’t friendship be the same? Great interview.
Full Day of Eating - Members Only
I released my extremely detailed, not at all exciting meal plan over on the members site. Ingredients, directions, and macros. The results are in: I am, in fact, a very boring eater. That said, after 3 years of eating the same thing every day, I still love every bite of food in my mouth. Works for me.
Coming Soon
Out Now - Are You Having a Good Time? (Short)
Is it something about my face? I get this question thrown at me too often. I needed to get to the bottom of it.
5/4 - Emma Watson, Thank You (Short)
Probably one of the coolest child actors I know. Well, don’t know, but have heard in an interview. She seems real, like she’s got thoughts in her head that I also have. Something she said in a recent podcast kind of fueled me up. At first I thought, yeah exactly. Then I immediately started to question things.
5/6 - Hair Loss Update (Short)
6 months into my hair loss protocol. Not to spoil things, but I’m looking at flights to Turkey. Praying medical tech figures this pill out quick.
See Ya Soon
DMs always open xoxo
