Last night a neighbourhood cat was picking a fight with our cat. The other one is much bigger! I had to shoo the other one away. Hopefully the other cat will keep away.
Random Thoughts...or...What's on Your Mind?

You want to talk "duh", try this:
It wasn't until I was in college that I realized "Jack" and "John" are the same name. It was because of the "Senator, you're no Jack Kennedy" thing. I'm like, who the hell is Jack Kennedy? Then I realized it was JFK...

In France, we never took the magic bullet theory (aka the lone gunman theory) seriously and that's why I was very surprised many years later to discover that it was still the official theory in America. To me, it was and still is as absurd as saying that Kennedy has been killed by angels.
I had to take my mom's cat last night because they're getting their furnace torn apart and replaced today and he kept me up ALL NIGHT MEOWING. And he's normally a good cat.
This is going to be a loooong day at work.

I love cats. I want all the cats. But I can certainly understand being annoyed when you need to get up and work the next day and they're keeping you awake.
Poor thing wants to be home, though.
He does want to be home, but he's stayed at my place a number of times in the past and hasn't acted like this... he came from a "broken home" as a kitten though, so he was a bit damaged psychologically when my mom got him from the shelter.

I love cats too... they're my favorite animal. Despite my avatar.
Tomorrow, I'm gonna book a ticket for a music gig next year. It'll be the third time I've seen this band. (Actually, there are two bands who support each other.)
Guess that I'm curious to see what'll happen next year. Long story short, I've had a hunch about one of the guitarists. Maybe it's 'all in my head.' I really don't know if there's anything going on at all.
The first time, the guitarist leaned towards me. Which seemed completely innocent. But later, they jumped off the stage and played in front of me. Literally face on. I was standing stage left and off to the side. It struck me as weird to not face the crowd because there was plenty of room.
The second time, and roughly a year later, I watched the first support act from the same spot. The next thing I know, the guitarist is standing right next to me. Again, there was enough room elsewhere. I didn't say anything but took a mental note. Later, the guitarist stood behind me and recorded the second support band on iphone. I realised that I might've been blocking the view (tall) and offered my spot but they declined. The video was posted on their social media and you can see my silhouette.
So yeah... That's been on my mind today. Maybe I'm being paranoid? Lol.

I walked 10 kilometres from work to home. It was nice to get some exercise.
Welcome to the board, Obsidian7!
Geez, I think I'd have blushed from the soles of my feet to the tips of my hair in that situation with the guitarist.
LOL those who sit in glass houses... I am not very stress resistant myself. My sister started rowing in order to cope with stress. Perhaps some sort of sports could help you, too? I use soothing audiobooks instead, and long walks. And atm there are all these lovely Christmas markets.

Give yourself more time. Changes have an annoying tendency to go only very slow.

Cooking helps me de-stress, though that might be the beer I need in one hand to maintain my balance while I stir with the other. Writing too, sometimes just scribbling ideas.
Today, I’m minded of those pendulums you see suspended between three magnets by the repulsive force. I’m the pendulum, stuck bang in the middle of the magnets of anger, anxiety, and shame.

Thanks Rhubarbodendron.
I guess the guitarist was just being friendly. Don't want to assume anything else. I've always been friendly to the whole band after the gig. They're a foreign band. Last time, I said something in their language and they were surprised/flattered. Maybe I gave off a safe or friendly vibe or they're familiar with me.
Today, an interesting letter arrived in the mail. It was about dog fouling in my area. Luckily, I don't have a dog but know which neighbour it's targeting. I could write a book about the last couple of years and the problems with this guy.
It would be funny if this leads to his eviction because I've pretty much washed my hands of the local authorities and their 'handling' of the situation. It's so much more complicated and stressful than poop. There's a two day window to resolve the issue. It'll be interesting to see what happens but I'm not holding my breath. The guy has gotten away with far worse.

I cried during the first Pokémon movie. There, I said it.
Sometimes I feel like all I do is complain. I’m sorry guys.
^ Don’t worry about it! Airing our grievances here make sense since there are a lot of sympathetic people willing to listen.
