My heart hurts for my college hometown and all of America. This is not ok. Evidently, don't protest peacefully, don't get angry, don't speak up, don't march, don't talk about inequality- go home and be quiet so the majority comfortable status quo may continue. NO, this is NOT OK!
Beautiful Observations, Day 27: Meh, was a good run. I am done. It sickens me to see the comments of "friends" and friends of friends. Too hard to stay positive. What's happening is wrong. When you try to make it about you, it just shows your ignorance. Unfollow me. Unfriend me.
Beautiful Observations, Day 25: Not beautiful. Good things happened for me, as a privileged white male, but I am thinking about George Floyd and countless African Americans daily subjugated by laws and rules and societal "norms" that do not recognize the same human rights for ALL
Beautiful Observations, Day 24: She is a graduate! Online graduation is in the books. Wish we could have been there, but so proud of you!!!! Thankful to Seiji and Ellie for getting her through senioritis!
Beautiful Observations, Day 23: Missed my post for day 23, but it was because I was up til midnight talking with my daughters. Good video chat time with them is beautiful
Yikes! Beautiful Observations, Day 21: Almost missed today! Nearly 11:30 pm, but hey, we all have things to be thankful for no matter how minute they may seem. Today i am healthy, happy, and cared for by many.
Beautiful Observations, Day 20! I'm on a roll: Not one time today did I get a notification of a work email on my first summer day off from work. Netflix was my only meeting. Very cool. (Although, it was a brutal 8 hour meeting)
Beautiful Observations, Day 17: Quite possibly for the first time in 20 years, my wife scared the B'jezus out of me. I was being silly and chased her down the hallway and she waited around the corner and said "Boo". Seriously caught me off guard. Have fun. Chase the ones you love
Beautiful Observation, Day 16: It's ok to not see the silver lining. It's ok to laugh, to feel hurt, to cry, to joke, to scream, to curse, to stay in bed. This is not a time of easiness every day. Sob, scream, laugh, be a couch potato, reenergize how you must. That is beautiful 2
Beautiful Observations, Day 15: My worst issues in life right now are being without my girls, confined to home, and bored. I understand that my situation would be a welcome blessing to so many other people in worse situations...
Beautiful Observations, Day 14: Sara spent 60 hours with over 800 photos to create a "Life of Alayna" graduation video that spans 18 years in 20 minutes. She was able to share it with her tonight. A mother's love = beyond beautiful
Beautiful Observations, Day 13: Take away all the responsibilities and adult distractions and you will see that I am still just a kid. New race track! Over 60 feet of fun!
Beautiful Observations, Day 12: my beautiful youngest daughter graduating yet missing so much of her senior year through all of this frustrating pandemic. She is really trying to find the joy in all of this, and that is beautiful
Beautiful Observation, Day 11: Listening to classical music while writing (or, like today, quality assuring a project) is really cool when the crescendos and transitions of the music start to align with my typing, mouse clicks, and lightbulb moments. Anyone else experience that?
