May the seventh be today. I cleared out my office yesterday enough to get easily to my guitar. I still haven’t played it, but I can as soon as I add a new high string and tune it. It’s been a while, so I’ll have to remind myself how to do it. Once I get it ready to go, I’ll have to remind myself of the songs I haven’t played in years. I’ll either impress myself with how much I still remember or sadden myself with how much I forgot. I listen to the songs often enough that I should be able to piece them together fairly quickly. Enough about my rockstar dreams. The next paragraph will feature the exciting world of website management.
My Reality Acceptance website library is back to working and I’ve added new books that I’ve listened to it. It reminds me how much work it is to add each of the experts and their works. I’m glad I didn’t have to start over with the existing library. My staff (me) checked every entry and most of them were missing categories. Now that I’ve done that, I know I connected everything properly. I also saw that Facebook has a cool calendar for scheduling posts and seeing them in a weekly or monthly calendar. It also tells you about interesting days coming up so you can post something relevant to that day.
We have a new guy in our department who is Chewbacca height. Luckily, his name is not Matt because we have two tall Matt’s in our department already. He has a dog that he refers to as his significant other he calls “his lady.” He was also talking about how he thought he was killing musical artists by listening to their songs after not listening to them for a while. I don’t see a lot of connection points between us. On the other flipper, I also don’t see any huge red flags such as being super religious, a Trump fan, or being racist so I will probably be able to get along with him okay. He speaks softly so I have a hard time hearing him most of the time. At some point, I’ll tell him about being on my good side (my right side). (Future note: In case I haven’t mentioned it recently, I’m deaf in my left ear. I don’t know if I’ve ever mentioned, but my sister is deaf in her right ear. My only explanation for this comes from how much we used to fight when we were kids. Maybe I slammed my left ear in to her as she was slamming her right ear into me. This doesn’t account for our deafness happening as adults, though. I’ll go back to my original theory of coincidence.)

There’s a new guy in our department who seems quite shy. Having been shy myself, I get it and prefer it to someone who comes in and talks your ear off. The difference between shy me and the me of today is a lack of embarrassment. I get embarrassed, but it doesn’t incapacitate me like it used to. I’m still not good at talking in a structured way to people, but if I can say whatever comes to mind, I’m good. These days, I don’t think I could get in trouble for saying something inappropriate. That’s not to say that someone couldn’t take offense to what I’m saying. I’m saying it will not be inappropriate toward anyone or anything that doesn’t deserve it. I will always be brutally honest to people and groups who deserve disdain. Anyone who hates others deserves disrespect. Even at my worst, I’m not offensive by most standards. I feel like I should say screw Jesus, but I won’t. You notice there were no quotes, so I didn’t say it.
After that long paragraph, I think I should have a paragraph that’s about nothing. It’s like Seinfeld, the show that George claimed was about nothing. Really, it was about the little things that most of us don’t think about. It was never my favorite show because they obsessed about negative things and were all horrible people. Negativity is something, but this paragraph is about nothing so I have nothing more to say about nothing.
I’m listening to the Magical Misfits series by Neil Patrick Harris. It’s very good, but it makes me want to work on Wizardland so I can present my version of magic and magical things. He talks about believing in magic and that’s a regular part of most books about magic. I want stories that feature magic as a reality. In the fictional world, magic is real and doesn’t have to be believed in. I like a version of magic that has to be understood to be used. Only certain parts of magic are possible. There are limitations, just like there are limitations in real life. I guess my magic is less mysterious than other versions of magic. It is complex, but understandable.
