…This is the absolute definition of badass:

…“Cold” doesn’t even come close.

 

…72 emails and not one of them meant anything.

 

…“Boredom can be a really good thing for someone in a creative jam.” Stephen King

 

…Pretty sure someone was depressed last week.

 

…All those days you want back, man, you’re not getting them.

...It's a really good sign when you brush your tongue and don't throw up.

 

…These have been some lonely-ass days of late.

 

…Sometimes a new haircut actually helps a little.

 

…There’s nothing worse than worrying about your kids. Like nothing.

 

…I’ve got to do a better job of getting my head out of the past.

 

…Sports are pretty dumb, if you think about it. But then so are most sitcoms.

…It gets pretty dark without you.

…The lake wants to freeze so bad that it’s not even letting the wind in.

…Four days until I see my best friend, and then everything should be good again.

 

…Not to sound like an embittered, jealous writer, but I don’t understand how some books get published.

 

…How the power didn’t go out this weekend is anyone’s guess, but Pete and his new friend didn’t seem to mind the weather much. They eloped two trees over.

 

…What, really does, “Hold on loosely, and don’t let go” actually mean?

 

…Some days are just like this, but you always have a choice.

 

…Being able to make my friends laugh, or anyone really, is probably my favorite thing.
