Brawley's Beautiful Mess

Hello my friends and welcome new readers!  I cannot flipping believe it's going to be May, in 4 days!  I really, really hope kids still do May 1st Baskets, if not, let's bring it back!  #Bringthemaybasketback....little bursts of happiness left on your porch.  That'll get a smile from the neighbor who won't let you park in their driveway!  Trust me, you want little nuggets like that, Mr. Rogers would not tell a lie.  I always got along with my neighbors.  Well..maybe I take that back...I used to live at Raintree apartments, when I was about 21, and in hair school, and doing a lot of extracurricular activities.  I also worked at Chili's (yes, Baby Back Rib Chili's) in fact I remember getting cut off on my 21st birthday at Baby Back Rib Chili's; jeez, I was obnoxious sometimes.  But....back to being a bad neighbor!  I've hung out with lots of different groups of people, some constant and some temporary in my life, but back then I was hangin...

Hello Q2 of 2022, it's been about a week or two since I last wrote, and a lot has been going on!  For starters, the Jayhawks brought home another NCAA Championship, I tried Amazon Flex driving for the first time and said goodbye to not 1 but 2 cysts on my face that sprouted about 6 months ago.  Per my dermatologist; nothing to be concerned about, cysts sometimes happen when your body goes through a traumatic experience.  Oh yeah, I went through one of those last year, I am good now but damn, spring of 2021, I might have been mistaken for Nick Nolte's mugshot.  Yikes! Something I have also been doing is listening to podcasts.  I have been trying to find a podcast that talks about addiction and recovery, which there are a ton, but I didn't necessarily want a "preachy" podcast or a super serious podcast.  Nothing wrong with any of these options, I just personally prefer a more comedic delivery.  Different strokes for different folks am I right? ...
