PROMPT: Work / Life Balance

How do you balance work and home life?

Live in the moment.

PROMPT: Leader / Follower

Are you a leader or a follower?

That’s a tough one because I think most people who would describe themselves as followers have failed to write their story boldly enough. Yet, the majority of people who describe themselves as leaders are more full of hot-air than of the capacity to inspire others to action.

I’d say, overall, I’m neither a good follower nor a good leader, but in varied contexts – as necessary – I can pull off either.

I think it might just be a false dichotomy.

PROMPT: Improvement

What’s one small improvement you can make in your life?

Realize you have no control of what happens in the world, but complete control of your perception of it.

PROMPT: Live Performance

What was the last live performance you saw?

Belly dancers doing a series of experimental pieces fusing modern dance with multiple forms of traditional belly dance.

PROMPT: Brands

What are your favorite brands and why?

The ones that offer the best value for the money at a given time. I have no brand loyalty, and — in fact — find it to be an absurd concept. It’s corporate hacking of humanity’s proclivity for tribalism in service of profit-maximization.

PROMPT: Elections

Do you vote in political elections?

Not as religiously as I did in my youth. Counter to the general trend of younger people hollering and protesting but not showing up to the polls, and thus not influencing change because politicians are cued into to the older crowd that tends to show up hell or high water.

PROMPT: Most Productive

When do you feel most productive?

When the internet is down.

PROMPT: One Positive Change

Daily writing prompt
Describe one positive change you have made in your life.

After transitioning from tighty-whities, through boxers, and on to the boxer-brief, I think I have finally found the path to downstairs bliss.

PROMPT: Pets

What animals make the best/worst pets?

BEST: Dogs (but house-cats if one is of a less energetic / more lazy persuasion.)

WORST: Hippopotamus / Rhinoceros tie

PROMPT: Unique

Which aspects do you think makes a person unique?

Genetic code and life story.
