This post spans an incredible amount of personal strife, goals, and encompasses nearly anything you can imagine.
Category: Personal
Thoughts, events and news about me. Probably the least-used category, hopefully.
The Unboxing.

Meet my New Hooptie: James “Jimmy” Peregrine Jalopington
I just had a busy Monday. In addition to applying to 18 jobs and setting up 2 interviews, making tuna-egg salad, mowing the grass, grocery-shopping and washing clothes and my daughter’s car/child seat, and doing general cleaning, I bought a “new” car and sold my old wrecked one in 2 totally separate transactions involving cash,……
Project Freebird
I’ve been in Louisville, KY for ten years now. TEN stinking years! That’s a decade of my life, a prime decade mind you, Humans aren’t allocated many of those on this Earth. And I’ve wasted spent those years trying hard to build a life here. Let’s take a look at how that’s gone for me:……
How to Win. Every Time.
I fear nothing. There’s nothing I’m afraid of.∗ I have some worries, but worries can be fixed with time and smarts. That allows me to approach danger bravely and retreat wisely when necessary to return when I’m able to eliminate the danger. And then move forward as planned. There will always be obstacles. If you……

As I sat to write this, The String Cheese Incident began singing the Talking Heads’ “This Must Be The Place(Naive Melody).” Apropos. https://youtu.be/Jc-cZlcW1iw I abhor moving. There’s no undertaking I like less, period. Although I’ve never been catheterized(Thanks be to God), I would rather be catheterized with a cactus than move. Yet here I go……
It’s Not What You Know; It’s Who You Know
“It’s not what you know it’s who you know.” We’ve all heard this saying, and I’ve heard it as much as anyone growing up. At times I took it to heart, which was a mistake. And it goes back to my words of advice on life about being careful about who you take advice from.……
Strange Days are These
With the Coronavirus keeping people shut in their houses and social distancing, quarantining themselves and self-isolating, it provides a lot of time that would otherwise be spent on productive activities elsewhere, and with people that we may not be able to spend time with. I can check both of those boxes, and on top of……
