You learn a lot about yourself during the down time of a deployment. You learn even more when you have COVID and quarantined from everyone else other than those who also tested positive.Av But...You're So Level Headed

This bogus study basically said doctors who post photos of themselves in bikinis is unprofessional. FEMALE doctors of course. The ridiculous stigma of being intelligent and sexy at the same time still doesn't exist with females. Well, young doctors didn't sit quietly.Av But...You're So Level Headed

Seriously, if you can't pick yourself up there won't be someone there to do it for you. I struggle with this and I have to smack myself with that hard fact. If I can't put effort into coming out of a slump, then even with help I won't get any better.Av But...You're So Level Headed

A column from the Wall Street Journal discusses peace of mind. I think we can strive for that, maybe even experience moments of it, with the help of self-care. "The Elusive Quest for 'Peace of Mind'" by Stephen MillerAv But...You're So Level Headed

Back from my trip and full of worries. We all get stuck in these moments of anxiety about everything and it feels like you're the only one. It doesn't take much to realize other people have issues too. Then it's kind of comforting knowing it's not just you. Self-care shouldn't be a chore. It should be something that doesn't have an end result, but …

After really thinking about what I've experienced, it's more than I had thought. Fortunately, I have more times when I shut it down or had it taken care of by leadership. It's an unfortunate reality no one likes to talk about. This doesn't mean all soldiers are bad. There's a lot of good ones who've helped me and keep doing the best I can to help o…

Shaming the fat shamers. Is this really necessary? Heidi Klum is getting accused of fat shaming for hitting the x buzzer on a fat teenage dancer. *eye roll* People have a right to their opinion, just as people have a right to dislike those opinions. Validation is something I work to not need or even desire. Other people don't need to approve of you…

Fireworks have been a regular thing in my neighborhood and I still hate it after all these years. Reading 'Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking' by Susan Cain has been eye opening. The more I learn about myself the more I can handle myself. Because sometimes I feel like the most difficult person to deal with is myself.…

YouTube channel After Skool had Jim Carey on several years ago, but the message still applies to today. When your ego gets in the way of being your true self. Why do people try SO HARD to live up to those impossible standards manipulated by computers? I've learned to recognize when I spiral into the 'gotta be perfect' mindset and then I realize - i…

Yes, that was a reference to Bill and Ted - who also have another movie coming out. J.K. Rowling has a crappy tweet to make her point. I'm so tired of cancel culture. It's scared people into not having real conversations anymore. The brave ones that do get 'canceled' and actually fired for daring to be on the 'wrong' side.…

There's been a lot of talk and posting on social media about how being silent is part of the problem. As an introvert, I do not believe being outspoken is the only way to support the cause against racism and police brutality. Kevin Hart had some inspiring words when he went on the Joe Rogan Experience about improving yourself regularly.…

The older I get the more I meet fellow introverts that just don't care about being around other people. So, we're friends in our own isolated corners. Susan Cain's Ted Talk is eye opening and really makes you think about those people who are louder than others. Being loud doesn't mean you're right.Av But...You're So Level Headed

Looks like 2020 decided to crap all over us. It took me out for awhile. I forgot how to take care of myself effectively. Yes, turns out self-care isn't doing much for you if you don't put in the right effort. I learned that the hard way. Hopefully, you can learn from my experiences. Books mentioned: The Alchemist by Paulo Coehlo Taming Your Gremlin…

Angie is learning about historians and it makes her reflect on her own history. How she's repeated her own bad habits. How no one is really that special and actually susceptible to repeating history.Av But...You're So Level Headed

Angie is not a doctor. Nor does she pretend to be one. Just a woman sharing her experiences. A Bloomberg Opinion article about bosses taking care of their employees and how it effects the economy, sparks the idea of your own personal well-being being your responsibility.Av But...You're So Level Headed

Another Tuesday, another show. I get stressed out when I have to make big decisions. The kind that could be life changing. It's not easy sometimes, but I have a good feeling about what's holding me back. Also, took a trip down YouTube and watched some Beastie Boys (which is really stroking my mojo). Furries aren't just a sex thing. Go figure.…

Dove's latest ad on Facebook did not go over well and they don't have a great track record. When a friend has a key to your place it's very possible for them to just show up and scare you in the middle of the night. Romance then and now.

Prom season is here! Emma Stone turned down a La La Land inspired proposal. When the Today Show uses Buzzfeed quiz* (I kept referring to it as a study - correction, it was a quiz.) as a source.

I'm back from my trip to South Korea! It was a nice break from my phone. Nothing like going to another country without an international plan to cut you off from your phone.

Twenty One Pilots made my day when I saw them take off their pants at the Grammy's. A reporter called Melanie Trump a hooker in, what he thought, a private con…

Fake news is everywhere. It's hard to tell with some stories without research. Starbucks has been the victim of a meme criticizing them for vowing to hire refugees, but not veterans.

Kids aren't angels, they aren't perfect, in fact - they are dumb. At least they do dumb things. The ridiculous thing they are doing now is the salt and ice challenge. Parents are using their kids as props in protests. Kids may see their teacher's calling for the murder of people. Do we really know what teachers are telling kids in school today? Som…

Finally back after being that cold that was going around and being derailed. The Women's March was amazing! Parts of it. They had some parts of a good idea. I get it, but I don't agree with everything. Pro-life women had different experiences. It just depends on what you read. A man decides to test fate by making a phony 911 call and then pointing …

Is it really worth it to fall for click bait? For a guilty pleasure maybe. What about headlines? I've seen some that are misleading and really don't bring any value. However, when I see the headlines about the Flip or Flop couple develop, I give in and click. Now I have to know what's going on. Would you pay the state to watch porn? It's a no brain…

Hipsters do the dumbest things. Using your hair for violin strings is thrifty and all, but why not cut the hair off before you play? Deconstructed food. Stupid.

What do this new wave of feminism have in common with bullies? They are bullies. The Sandy Hook Promise releases a PSA focused on recognizing signs of bullying. Witnesses and the bullies themselves may not see the effect they have on their targets. Some people don't realize they are bullies - like modern feminists. They blame men for ridiculous thi…

Small Thanksgivings are the way to go. Easy clean up, no over stuffing yourself, and the guilt trip to the gym won't be a thing. I say range free, but I meant free-range chickens.
