I Went To The Beach Alone
What’s the most spontaneous thing you’ve ever done? I don’t remember the month, but it was in 1997, shortly after I got out of the U.S. Army in the prior year 1996, and it was the first time I ever took off somewhere on my own. I’m thinking it was in, or close to September because I took the trip for my 27th birthday. I remember thinking I wanted to see the ocean before I reach 30. I got in my 1991 Chevrolet Cavalier and drove from Alabama to Pensacola, Florida to go see the ocean for the first time… Continue reading

I Stay Busy Busy Busy!
How do you make time for self-care? I am of course referring to my blogging, content creating, and publishing work when I titled this post “I Stay Busy Busy Busy”. I think a healthy form of self care is to never get bored. An easy way to never get bored, is to find something to write about, or find something on the internet to share with people, and I definitely stay busy doing those things. Even when I am doom scrolling, I’m busy looking for something to write about or share. Stay busy! Busy busy! Continue reading

My Job Feels Like Home
What’s a place you visited that felt like home? Without giving details, I’ll say the place I make a living at feels like another home – my other home. If the question was referring to travel, I’ve never been anywhere outside of my hometown that felt like home, or that I called home. The closest to that was “This is where I live for now.” I go to the facility, and it’s like I’m at my 2nd apartment every day. Continue reading

I wish I had stopped Moving To Different Websites And Blogs So Much
What’s one thing you wish you had started doing earlier in life? I got on the Internet in 1998 with a device called WebTV, and my nose has been glued to a screen ever since. That’s nearly 30 years. In that time, I have started and abandoned countless websites and blogs but somehow always ended up at another domain because another “great idea”. I am getting older now. I am hoping that SURF MAN and CRAYY might finally be the website and blog I stick with. I currently have a bunch of stagant sites and domains in my WordPress platform… Continue reading

It’s Snoopy And Woodstock For Me
If you could pick any fictional animal to be your lifelong companion (like a Pokémon or fantasy pet), what would it be? I had to think about it for awhile this morning because there are so many great fictional cartoon pets to choose from. I thought about the mouse in Tom and Jerry. Then I thought about Garfield the cat. But I’m going with Snoopy and his fluttering friend, the little yellow bird, Woodstock from the Peanuts comics and cartoons. I always enjoyed the holiday Charlie Brown shows and the comic strips growing up. Continue reading

I Would Be Me But A Richer Version
If you had to switch lives with a fictional character for a week, who would you choose? The question didn’t say you have to choose an actual fictional character. So I’m making up that suddenly I’m never going to have to worry about money, and I live in a nice apartment, always a good running vehicle, and groceries, and whatever other food, and necessities I may need delivered daily. That’s it. I would be the person everybody wants to be in the USA. FINANCIALLY SECURE. Continue reading

Who The Heck Likes Villains?
Have you ever liked a villain more than the hero? Who and why? I can’t say that I ever remember liking villains too much. So I guess the answer is no. Continue reading

The Dome By Stephen King
What’s the longest book you’ve ever read? I started reading The Dome by Stephen King in 2013. I never finished it in 2013. It still sits somewhere in my Kindle books library waiting to be finished. I don’t know if I ever will. If I ever go back to it, I’ll probably have to start over. Bear in mind, as much as I like fictional stories, I much prefer reading non-fiction. You know, something I can learn from. Continue reading

Be Diligent With Your Privacy Online
What’s the best advice you’d give to someone younger than you? You can be yourself online all day every day, but you don’t have to put all of your personal business out there for the world to see. This doesn’t just apply to younger people. It applies to everyone young and old. Continue reading
