I Don’t Believe People Who Say This

As fame increases, so do the number of people who both like and dislike you. So as a barometer, an increase in haters means you’re becoming more widely-known, I’ll buy that.

Except I don’t think those proclaiming, “I love my haters!” are thinking that deeply.

First – so you love “hate?” Uh-huh.

But more – you’re telling me you posses a rare, massive mental capacity that can transform hate into love, that your mind is that enlightened?

No chance.

Really ready for this trend to end.

This is an I Am Not a Hippie.com post – endless scrolling of things I notice while going about life. Goes good with morning coffee.

 

 

Leave it With me Guys

I’m beat.  Not tired, not experiencing sleep deprivation (which I like actually), but a deeper, to-the-bone tired. Like, ‘declined 2 trips to New York City’ tired. Like, after flying in last week I was half-way home, stopped at McDoanlds, back on the highway, totally forgot I no longer live downtown and drove there instead, a 45 minute mistake at 1am.  Like that.

I’m fine, happens, this is probably post #6 that reads like this over the years. If we met on the street right now, you’d be meeting a very dumb, puffy version of myself.

But that’s never a mind to be writing about security and cars.

Posts like: Airport Wifi Looks like This:

Because you know every line of text here has been carefully constructed, thoroughly fact checked, a good car/security post takes hours… because get 1 number wrong and it’s a disaster – $21,799 instead of $31,799, or 158 horsepower not 128.

Also coming soon is all about Honda’s all-new HR-V and its launch in Miami, where I received the best launch gift in a while – hats.

These hats.

All coming soon.

Anyway.

That’s why I Tweeted this earlier:

And I don’t. Been gone for 6 weeks, and now nothing!

I’m fine, it’s just publishing a daily blog, plus 4 newspaper deadlines per week (which is considered a lot), it just all caught up to me.  Finished this crazy travel streak on a high note though, my Ford Edge review might be my best review to date – read it here.

But now I’m home for the foreseeable future, and didn’t even book a press car this week to lighten my load. After I hit publish I have to restock my fridge (my 1st power failure was Saturday), then I’m going to hold down the couch tonight, and play this:

That’s the first game I’ve ever downloaded to my phone.

Wait…. why don’t I get an online casino to sponsor my blog? That’s not a bad idea….. hmmm….. after all, blog tags = casino and video poker

It’ll probably be a light week, sorry in advance. I’m gonna post my want ad again below, for kicks.

Here’s to a strong start to your week, TTYT

Seeking an Assistant:

You can video edit, blog, and you “get” the internet. You can speak on the phone, and present well both online and IRL. This is not your first job. I am a benevolent dictator, and the job will be fun, rewarding plus travel. Pay to start sucks, gobs of money to follow. Please apply within.

 

 

Can’t Hear you Over these Deadlines

Friday’s are always heavy, but tomorrow is stacked five deep oh boy.

But then at 5pm the best thing happened – found out I’d got a due date wrong, and one deadline isn’t actually till next Friday niiiiice.

Still though, I am drowning in work… mmm, it’s been a while since I posted my help wanted ad, let’s try again hang on, I’ll go dig it up….

Have a good Thursday night, best night of the week! TTYT

 

 

Contributing to Jaguar’s #GoodToBeBad Campaign

Jaguar’s #GoodToBeBad marketing campaign
is how a Jag is the perfect car for crime.

It’s in promotion of their F-TYPE. I wrote about it for the paper, here.

As the automaker says, “instincts are key, but some tricks can be taught.”

They even produced a video series which includes titles: how to “Sound Like a Villain,” “Drive Like a Villain,” how to have “Villainous Style,” and why it’s important to always “Have a Plan.”

I’ll add another topic:
“How to Cheat at Motorsports” – click here

Blog tag = F-TYPE

This House Renovation is a Full Time Job

Oh guys. No dramatics, it is, and I am over it. I already have 2 full time jobs, this 3rd is sucking the life out of me.

This is from today, on my finally-clean floors.

That’s a plumber and 2 contractors, and they were so good about it, taking off their shoes at 9am, but by 11am it was, “Keri we can’t work like this, your dream is dead”.

It’s probably good I had no idea what I was getting into when I bought this place in July, because O M G. 3 months in and I am, still, a squatter with a mortgage.

Out with the old hot water tank. It was from 1989.

All I want to do is drive this Subaru BRZ in my driveway.

Instead I am knee-deep in plumbing lessons and water heaters.

But I now have soft water! Do you even know how huge a deal this is? Non-homeowners: massive. Get ready to see a non-greasy-looking head of hair.

Finally ate at eight, then built a lab in my backyard for my Sylvania headlight test. That post, and conclusion, coming later this week.

kk I have email to do before bed, and it’s late so TTYT

And sorry again for…

This house stuff, the end’s in sight, and very soon it’s
back to regularly scheduled programming of
cars, security and as it should be.

You have a hat light too? So helpful.
