Prop Op

Chill Annoying

And there’s a couple dozen more Russian ones of these around the world, and probably hundreds of Chinese ops like this.

Write On

Chill Cool, Killin' It

What’s a sentence a girl told you that is still stuck in your head to this day?

When my partner said to me about some complexy-propounded post on philosophy I’d written that, “A wizard uses precisely the word he means to.”

I couldn’t give less of a crap about what some random mook thinks about my writing. I care deeply, though, about her opinion; she’s my audience when I write anything on this blog. I already know I’m a good writer. It is a different thing altogether when someone you respect enormously and hold in the highest regard calls you a “wizard.”

That means something.

Limitations

Chill Annoying

Most of the time when someone is telling you that you can’t do something and shouldn’t even try, what they are really saying, “I couldn’t do that.” It’s not actually about you. It’s about them.

Don’t let other people’s limitations be yours. If I’d listened to all the people people who told me the things I could not or should not do, I’d be dead or in a jail cell in North Florida right now.

BMP Boom

Chill Evil, War

Russian ops are always so incredibly disorganized. What is even going on there? Yes, yes, it’s hard when you’re under fire. But those people simply do not know what the fuck they are doing. They are wasting so much for so little. And doing it all so very badly.
