Dan Harmon

Today will be short. I appreciate  Dan Harmon a lot. His work yes but more importantly just Harmontown. Dan’s a smart, funny, relatable, and most of all honest person so, we get a look into his life from a first person perspective. We go along for the drunken ride through his insecurities, interests, shame, and growth in a way that we don’t often get to see because most people are dishonest if not to others, then to themselves. As a result we have a stagnation of personality growth. I love Dan for his experience, it gives me a great example to draw from if I’m ever in doubt of whether growth in myself is possible.

Halloween

Working on a holiday always sucks. It’s sucks even worse when it’s not a national holiday so you don’t get that sweet extra pay. It’s terrible when you don’t even get to celebrate it much because of dress code. I’m just writing what’s on my mind now because I didn’t sit down to write a story last night. Mostly because I forgot. 

Writing a story seems daunting

Especially one you want haunting

You think and you plan

Of an elusive boogeyman

But in the end you fear only taunting

Welcome to Nobody's Notes

New writings

I'm starting to want to write regularly to be able to hone the process turning thoughts into language. So I'm going to make it a habit by setting certain days to write certain stuff. This will be the format of my weeks going forward.

Mondays

Mondays or “Miscellaneous Mondays” will be the days that I write whatever is on my mind, my current thoughts and feelings. I have a lot of them so this may turn out to be one of the longer segments of the week,or it could be short. It will all depend on the week.

Wednesdays

Wednesday writings will be for general creative writing. Serious or comical, long form or poetry, short stories or character drafts. Anything that hasn't quite been yet will belong to Wednesday.

Fridays

Frivolous Fun Fridays will be for everything I enjoy. Enjoyment in my life comes from a lot of different things, but I've always had trouble transforming the complex feelings and ideas of my joy into language. Fridays will be a good time to explain the reasons behind the things that I like to consume.

I may have other days that I put something else. But these will be the days that I'll make sure that something goes up.

If you notice something amiss such as grammar, punctuation, and/or anything else let me know! I won't grow without push back so make me aware of it.

Thank you, all you perfect people,

Nobody

Frivolous Friday

“The Wheel of Time turns, and ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legends fade to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again. In one Age, called the third age by some, an Age yet to come, an age long pass, a wind rose in the Mountains of Mist. The wind was not the beginning. There are neither beginnings or endings to the turning of the Wheel of Time. But it was a beginning.” -Robert Jordan “The Eye of The World”

My friend turned me on to The Wheel of Time Series, it was one of the best things that could have happened in my life. Not just because it’s fantastically well written by Robert Jordan, that it’s performed to perfection by Michael Kramer and Kate Reading, nor that it’s world is rich and immersive, but because it has perspectives that have given me outlooks on life that have helped me see life in a better way (the biggest of which is also the biggest spoiler so much so that when it hit me I had to pause it to process everything because up until that point I was clueless).  This series, which when I started felt dry and thick, has become my favorite series of all time for the aforementioned reasons as well as that when I started my second journey through the books the stuff that felt dry was rich and rewarding. 

If you haven’t yet dived into the world of the Wheel of Time don’t worry. Amazon just announced that they’re picking it up for TV so you’ll be able to experience the adventures of Rand and his friends as they go through the turning of an age. Though I suggest giving it a read or a listen, it’s well worth it.

Misc. Monday

They say that hindsight is 20/20. In thinking about how I interact with other people I’m inclined to believe the ubiquitous “them.”  For I often find myself wanting to say something, saying it, then thinking of all the things I did wrong in that moment. A lot of people can probably relate. I just do it all the time when I talk.  Mostly because reading a situation in the moment is something I have difficulty with. It usually takes me a little to realize how someone might feel in the moment or even if they have finished talking.  So for a while now I have just taking to not talking very much at all. Only at the times I need to or in conversations in which there are little “think breaks” in which I can process. Although my closest friends are easy for me to talk to because I know they accept me for who I am.

Anyway that’s what has been on my mind a bit this week. What about you?

👍🏼 thanks for the submission. That turned out beautiful. I'm sure N would appreciate the time you took to turn his words into such a beautiful peace of work. I hope you're having a great day.

Like a child, the ego only wants your attention and awareness. Love is another word for this. Give the ego what it wants by being unconditionally loving of it. Let it be however it is and watch how things shift.

Pick a question, (they’re all ultimately the same) and dwell on it until truth is realized. This may take no time or it may take years. If you are serious, it won’t matter to you. No matter the mind’s answer, it will always be false. When you realize the correct answer, there will be no question that remains.
