Polishing the Site

As I was set upon polishing the site this Monday evening, I came across this picture on my home page and I was like… ‘Farewell, sweet prince.’ I axed it and the Bonfire link I had associated with it because… well, if I’m going to try to gain traction with a good donation drive and my own merch (which I’m giving 50% of the profits for that towards RIPMedicalDebt.org), I don’t to murk up the waters by leaving a practically dead fish in the waves.

Go to the site if you’d like. I think I have like… 2? shirts there. If you like them, pick them up. But I’m pretty happy making items born from conversations I’ve had with friends, strangers, and the folks on my Discord. I’m exceptionally happy with the way the sticker and phones cases turned out.

The design :

The Band Day’d Solution (above) came from a conversation I had with a stranger in a farmer’s market. She told me about how she looked at her son’s itemized bill from a visit to the ER. On there was a bandage that was priced at $25. This was not a full-body wrapping, either. This was one you give to a kid for an ‘ouchie’.

Ridiculous.

So, I had my good friend Ryan Bray (Delighted Ghost) whip up some smooth bandages, paid him for his time, and put the rest together.

Now I have a badge to hold up and rally under when the US medical system tries to gouge me or anyone else.

ASK FOR ITEMIZED BILLS.

FIGHT THE BILL.

It’s well within your right.

There’s a reason why food is good but presentation is everything. Early on Saturday (holding on the fact that Marlee was off that same day I was), I chose to make a meal that we’ve had countless times before because it’s comfortable and I know we enjoy it:

Bacon

Savory oatmeal with cream cheese

Low and slow eggs with browned onions

Sliced avocados with a dash of salt

It’s easy, all takes less than 25 minutes, and is a smooth way to start your day. I could have just thrown it all in a bowl but something told me to plate it. I normally don’t. I normally just clump it all together and we cup the bowls in front of the TV. Put the consistency of the oats plus the fact I had cooked odd slices of bacon told me that today was the day to prove the old axiom my father instilled in me: Presentation is Everything. When I sat the plates down on our tiny living room table, I had to admit they looked pic worthy. It was then I grabbed the snap above. I took her plate out of her hands and staged them in kitchen on our cutting boards because I was proud on how that little breakfast turned into an art project. The crazy thing was that it even tasted better. Or maybe I had made it with love. Whatever the case, take this one thing away: The way you see your food matters. Presentation is EVERYTHING.

There's a. sort of divide in my mind between being excited to get things done and also being pissed at people getting in the way of me getting things done. It's like that like of waters that people say is the 'Atlantic/Pacific' divide. To be clear, I'm not even sure if that line is real.

I'm to the point in my life where I brag about getting a full 8+ hours of sleep. Used to be a given.

I'm sorry if your name is Christian. I just didn't know.

I'm such a 'Hey the thing you're doing is annoying but I'd rather die from gnashing at my own innards than make you think there's something wrong' kinda manic pixie guy.
