this morning #271.

this morning, all of his daily rituals were slowly coalescing into a loose life philosophy, one where he was considered one of the good guys, someone who had his shit together. it took him by surprise after years of aimlessly floating along with an ever-shifting & often non-existent sense of purpose. he had sat on his ass for the first decade of his adult life. then, when life reared up & bucked him off, leaving him bruised & beaten, he was forced to get back on the horse & change his course. from that point on, he chose to earn respect instead of demanding it. he chose to live life like a respectable human being who respected human norms. he tried to be the anti-rodney dangerfield.
