Yes, it's not a particularly happy situation. But what can you do? Try to open people's eyes to the problems and then trust that they'll find their own solutions, and maybe ask for more help if they need it. You can't make people exercise or eat well. You can only show them why they need to and how the environment manipulates them into doing the wrong things too often, so they can avoid that.

I'm baffled. What is that?
Re: which was the better decision -- uh, in retrospect, if I had known the chicken was going to be as terrible as it was, I would have gotten some cookies or a salad at McDonald's. However, without having known that in advance, I'll usually gamble that hotel food will be better than McDonald's food. Especially since the McDonald's in Union Station is seriously the worst one I have ever seen. I went there once and they had half an inch of dirty water spilling out of the kitchen into the customer area. Nasty.
Re: flattery -- yeah, somehow I doubt cretins of that stripe are too interested in my views or writings. (Besides, that'd require them to be literate.) I just wish they'd be castrated for the good of the species. I'd even volunteer to do it myself.
But thank you for the compliments, and I'm happy to amuse.

Thank you! My tattoos aren't the best out there but I've tried to draw most of them myself so they're more of my own than something off the walls of flash. My creative mother had a good influence on me! I love her deeply!

well, dude was a pretty amazing artist a few years ago - i even did a report about him in my high school art class before i ever even met him. his work was like, so detailed & rich & just wonderful.
but when i finally met him a couple years later (february of this year, to be more precise), he had just broken up with a girl he'd been dating for at least a year, and at that point, his work - although still beautiful - was a lot simpler & more basic than it was when i did the report on him. i dunno if that was a direct result of the girl, but i'm sure she & her distractions had a lot to do with it.
so this year his new year's resolution was to like reconnect with himself, refocus himself, and basically improve on himself & his work. and he specifically said that meant no serious relationships for the time being (among other things, such as exercising more, eating better, and of course spending more time with his work).
i fought that for a long time (like, most of the year), but i've come to terms with it now. i mean, it definitely still sucks that i can't hang out with him whenever, even though he only lives like, 6 blocks away.. but it's what he wants to do right now & i'm not gonna try to make him do otherwise because i've learned that sort of behavior just upsets people & drives them away.
maybe further down the road, he'll find that more loving contact is a big help to the creative process, but i'm not gonna push it until he comes to that realization himself.
plus i can take this opportunity to with my life what he is doing with his - figuring myself out & fine-tuning things. like, i used to think i'd be nothing & totally lost without a boyfriend, but now i don't think that, and i don't think i would have come to that realization if we hadn't done this separation stuff. and i just keep on learning..
anyway, long story longer, if he wants to spend all his time working, i'm not gonna force him to make time for me to prove that he cares about me. it's enough that i straight up told him to fuck off one time & he didn't go anywhere. plus let's say he decides he doesn't care about me all that much.. well that would be fine too. whatever makes us happy, either together or apart. i'm used to being apart from him now, and i know all too well that trying to stay with a guy who isn't all that into you just makes ya miserable.
goddamn, this was a long post!

Re: the videos -- nicely put. And no, you won't be able to hear my voice, since I'm off in... where am I these days? ...Kiribati, that's it. Yes. Kiribati. Where the weather is lovely, I assure you.
