Surrender to Win
I used to have an AA sponsor who often said he was waving his little white flag. I’ve also heard that surrendering is not admitting defeat, but choosing to join the winning side. Now whether you want to be restrained or not by such social constructs as winning and losing (since we live in a…

The Miracles of Marriage and Motorcycles
Strap in folks! You are about to go for one hell of a ride! This week in the life and times of yours truly some major shit has gone down! Okay, okay… Enough fucking around (also what she said). Let’s try to get a coherent thought out that doesn’t contain profanity or a euphemism. Hmmmm….…

Adventures in Domestication
They say (whoever they are) cats domesticate humans, not the other way around. Dogs, on the other hand, give it up for anyone. They just ooze love and attention. But cats require a certain je ne sais quoi… A certain finesse. As for yours truly, I lend myself to the feline purrrsuasion. Not that it’s…

Titleless Blog
Yes, “titleless” is not a word except I just typed it and so now it is. Aren’t words fun? 😜 It begs the question as to whether it matters what words we use, spelled incorrectly or not, as long as you know what I fucking mean… Right? At least, that’s what I’ll keep telling myself.…

Maybe Do As I Do
Hello my devoted readers and perhaps newbies to the rollercoaster known as Greenleaf4Life! Guess what? It’s a Monday, and I’m actually fucking writing! Damn, it feels good to be a gangster… Well, not really. I’m the furthest thing from a gangster, but I am feeling fairly inspired to do something different today. Maybe it’s the…

Another Fucking Moon Post?
Yes, folks… Another fucking moon post. Fun fact: (since you know I loooooove word roots…) Lunatic comes from: “Middle English: from Old French lunatique, from late Latin lunaticus, from Latin luna ‘moon’ (from the belief that changes of the moon caused intermittent insanity).” -I forgot to site this reference – see Google… What that has to do with today’s…

Motivation
I wanted to call this post “Inertia,” but decided that will have to be a subheading instead – and I figured more people want to hear about motivation rather than a physics term that I find interesting. Ah yes… motivation – that somewhat elusive state I hear so many talk about. I’ve heard fitness and…
