Finally did itPhilosophy

I’ve always strongly expressed myself through my hair. I’m 37 now and my forehead finally got big enough to give up on trying to make my hair look good. I’ve thought about shaving it for a while.

Last week, I finally did it. At first, I felt intense shame and grief for the loss. As I get used to it though, I am finding that I love it. I think it looks good and it sure as hell feels good!

However, I find that most people seem offended at my choice. I get responses like, “Oh no!” or “Why would you do that?!” and “My wife says she’ll kill me if I do something like that.”

Why do y’all think people get so offended? What’s the big deal? At this point, I’ve done what I’ve done and I don’t really care what people think about it (At least that’s what I tell myself).

Shantaram Sun House The Stormlight Archive books

I love seeing Shantaram so many times on this list. I read the text version first and loved it so much that I got the audiobook too. And wow! The characters come to life in so many new ways.

And Sun House. The audiobook was so incredible that I went and bought the text version so I could underline and make notes. Beautiful writing.

Mistborn A Secret History is pretty important. The whole thing with Thaidakar and the Ghostbloods doesn’t really fully make sense without it. Neither does some pretty important stuff from The Lost Metal.

Alas. It ain’t over while he’s still breathing. Fuck that guy.

UrithiruSpoilerRhythm of War

What if Urithiru was a gigantic spaceship fabriel, used to transport all of the humans to Roshar? It has all these weird massive passageways and ductwork systems and massive fabriels. Maybe it was the transport vessel that humans used to leave their wrecked world.

And if Odium was their God, what kind of light might power those fabriels?

I hear you. It seems like things are more hostile than ever between the two sides. Maybe I’ve been asleep for the past 20 years too, but the stakes just seem higher this time around.

I wonder if Trinidad’s community would have enough climbers to support an indoor gym.

Murakami. I love that guy’s dreamlike style.

The Way of Kings-Brandon Sanderson, book 1 of 5 of the Stormlight Archive

Working my way though The Lost Metal. I’ve read all of Stormlight and all prior Mistborn books. Novellas and short stories included.

Water wells

I know that lots of folks outside of town haul water. Does anyone know the feasibility of drilling a well? How is the water quality? Any other insights? Thanks!

Oh yeah! I’ve heard of them before. Unfortunately, I live outside of their range. If you or someone you know has an account with them, I’d be happy to split the cost of a bin if I could drop off my recyclables once in a while.

Damn, and then Donald Trump and Hilary Clinton showed up. Goodbye decency.

Recycling

Just gonna throw it out there….the fact that Amarillo has no recycling program is pathetic.

Visiting Dallas with my four-year-old son

My wife and I will be in Dallas for a few days next month with our 4-year-old son. What are some fun things that we might do? Any fun playgrounds or other fun things to do?
