What’s the Opposite of Road Rage?

The "predator handshake" meme with one arm labeled "You, about to merge into the next lane," the other arm labeled "The driver in the next lane," and their clasped hands labeled "Signaling and then swapping lanes in perfect sync."
I’m going with “blacktop bliss”

Buffed Out

My buffer is completely gone and I don’t know what to post next.

I’m working on a long-form piece that I’m pretty excited about–sort of a combination of prose, poetry, and essay–but it won’t be finished for at least a few more days.

I have a dozen or so drafts I could finish, but I’m really not excited about any of them at the moment.

Any suggestions? What would y’all like to hear?

Funny?

It always feels so weird when I tag my own posts “funny.” I know it helps readers find your stuff and it’s standard practice or whatever, and I try not to let it bother me, but it seems really presumptuous, you know? Like, how do you know this is funny, dude? Did you take a survey??

Really, it should be “I think this is funny” or “attempt at being funny,” but I’m guessing that wouldn’t SEO so good.

Me, Myself, and Why

It’s so frustrating when another person keeps popping up in your thoughts uninvited, just to upset you. It’s like, you want to be mad at them, but you can’t, because the only person actually inside your head is you??

Leave myself alone, jerk!

Correlation

Is it just me, or is the attractiveness of a motorcycle directly correlated with the attractiveness of its rider? Like, it seems like choppers and Harleys are always driven by leathery old dudes with scruffy beards and a gut, while sexy crotch rockets like these two are way more likely to be driven by–well, sexy crotch rockets like these two:

An attractive woman wearing black clothes and a white helmet, sitting on a rose gold Yamaha R6 motorcycle.

I suppose it could just be that the latter also seem more likely to be wearing protective gear. Intelligence is sexy, too!

It Bears Repeating

Take care of yourself.

Because you–yes, you–are precious, and deserve to be taken care of.
