Genuinely Quirky Things

Hi, Are you ready for 2020 to be over?!!? I sure am :p Welcome Spain to the family of listeners. Riley is hanging in there, some mushrooms started growing in her soil. I am considering going back to school. Like I told my therapist and grandma… there is not much to report on right now, haha. Thanks for stopping by! Topics start at 7:26. "To when I shaved my head" "To when I magnified sunlight" "To...

10 days baby!! Until, you know, Christmas?? I bought myself the Billy Boys Cologne Roller from https://edccrate.com to celebrate. Make sure to use coupon code GQT15% Stay tuned for an update :p There are deep levels of vulnerability in here which include tears and the Lord. Just a reminder of how a journal or diary is an unfiltered log of your thoughts, this podcast is for the most part similar (I...

17 DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS!!!! I said I was entering Narnia as somewhat of a joke, but Riley is entering her dormant stage for the fall and winter! My therapist is helping me a ton through this time, and I am grateful for her. I am grateful for people. I am grateful for love. I am grateful for you! I would love to hear stories from people who are listening, tell me about you and how you found Genuine...

24 DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS!!!! Thanks for letting me be here, your motivation is greatly recognized. Hello Pakistan and Germany! In the episode I only recognize Pakistan, but since then Germany has joined. I am grateful and thankful to see this list of countries growing. We are at 15 now, woahzerrrr! To those I have not recognized… Thank you as well and I love you all 😊 Two songs are mentioned… “Bor...

Hellooooo, Riley is my mental health :) These topics are fun. Welcome Sri Lanka to the family of listeners! Someday you can find me at an amusement park, preferably Cedar Point, but probably just Six Flags west of Atlanta. It's getting colder and Christmas is in 38 days! Topics start at 4:04 "To when I love roller coasters" "To when I was surrounded by open space" "To when I saw hot air balloons"...

Yo, Here is the Instagram link to my lion drawing: https://www.instagram.com/p/B1ihmvbBchI/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link Thanks for being here. Within 24 hours, my relationship with Riley (my fern) came up in conversation three different times. So, I might as well tell you too… We’ve gone through a lot between toxicity, control, smothering, distance, silence, brokenness, new environments, and most...

Greetins! There is a slight weight to this episode, but I would be lying if I said life were perfect all the time. Fall, election, Halloween, seasonal affective disorder (S.A.D), pandemic, etc. Thanks for making it this far 😊 Topic one and two include some side chatter of two hard times I witnessed, I did not include too much information though. Riley got hit hard by the hurricane but still stand...

Hi! 59 days until Christmas 😊 Hope you are doing ok. What’s it like out there? I will forewarn you this episode isn’t necessarily weighty but does lead into some important life questions. Some of dad’s wisdom comes in at 4:36 to 4:45 including the word “die.” Our last topic goes in depth on the importance of Jesus being a servant (13:06 to 19:08) which includes a few scriptures, see below for tho...

Thanks for tuning in this week! Wow, sometimes things DO get difficult. As we know, it will be ok and you are your own worst critic. Shoutout to one of my favorite countries and my friend (you know who you are) for teaching me this phrase I will never forget… “Ne jemi ndryshe” which is Albanian for “We are different.” Twice I mention the book of Genesis from the Bible, the second time I read a scr...

Hey there 😊 I hope you are all staying ok, hang tight. HUGE thank you to all the countries so far (as far as data shows) for tuning in!! India, the United States, Nepal, Bangladesh, Norway, and the Philippines. I did some improv for the first time since March. I have converted back to putting liquid dairy creamer in my coffee due to it reducing the acidity (my dentist agreed with this theory.) I’...

Here’s the promised picture of Riley, I layered Sphagnum Moss on her soil and sprayed her down with insecticide… https://www.instagram.com/p/CF-7oQRD4vi/ Shoutout to India for listening the most in the last 2 weeks! Thank you everyone else too… The United States, Bangladesh, and Norway even! Thank you thank you thank you😊 Also, after a month I organized my room! Not completely but it’s a start. A...

Hi! This might have the most focused yet tangential intro, but I am super proud of the transition out of it! This episode is a little on the “real talk about the valleys in life” side with some injected funnies. Topics one and two lead up to three which is the big kahuna (12:16 – 15:20.) We ALL go through hard times. I even read one of my favorite comfort passages of scripture to you. On a side no...

Don't be misled by the episode titles. Well, mmmm, yeah. The titles are a naturally accurate depiction of something on my mind, which I'm sure you've figured out by now. Hurricane Sally made her way inland and Riley and I made it through, she did lose a few more fronds though. I think she's gone through 15-20 since January? Atlanta is nice and I've visited 7 mail courier locations so far! In regar...

Check out my friend Adam’s hand-crafted artwork! https://www.instagram.com/hu.dun.it/ This marks 25 weeks of 90+ overall genuinely quirky stories from my life. It has been quite a nerve-racking and hard, but exciting journey. 25 episodes in and wow have I learned a bunch! If you are just tuning in, this is your first time, or are somewhere in between… I want to extend a warm thank you. Thanks also...

Hello again :) Riley and I made it! Including backtracks we logged 3141 miles between Seattle and Atlanta. I am grateful for good friends who let you sleep in their home, eat their food, drink their water, use their wifis, watch their Netflix, pet their dog, etc. It’s been a rough week trying to micromanage finding a place to stay but I found one! Somehow finding the time to edit hadn’t been a hug...

Enjoy this video of my drone footage! https://youtu.be/wBZUTGvhJ4M "To when a poor landing is painful" "To when shoes are a collection" "To when I was in Air Force ROTC" "To when organization is displayed and makes sense" Maggot talk (17:01 to 17:27) DISCLOSURE : GOING ON TANGENTS MAY OR MAY NOT BE INVOLVED, THIS SHOW IS CONVERSATIONALLY TRUE TO HOW I SPEAK. Please consider sending any comments or...

Greetings from Idaho! Idaho? Why am I in Idaho? Getting from Washington to Georgia via car without driving through Idaho would take longer. I made it to Twin Falls safely though 😊 I only drank 32+ ounces of coffee and am still awake in the wee morning. Thank you for rocking and being you! Riley (my fern) has been hanging in very well too if you were wondering. "To when accidents do happen" "To wh...

Hi :) Life speeds and slows so sometimes you fall off track, but give yourself grace. It is ok ok ok! The intro pre-roll includes talk of acupuncture (0:00 to 6:56.) Washington does not want me to leave as it has been calling me to go on lots and lots of hikes with people I love. These hikes include… The San Juan Islands, Mount Rainier, Olympic National Park, North Cascades National Park, Mount Ba...

Episode 20! I had zero expectations of whether or not we would make it this far, thank you! Like I have said before “I’m just kinda doing it, ya know?” It’s definitely fun, challenging, and has also brought a new and interesting way to how I maintain tangential focus during actual in person conversations with people! "To when I got my first library card" "To when we kept track of reading" "To when...

I hope this finds you enjoying something :) Yesterday felt like the most present I’ve ever been in ocean water. I actually felt the tide rising on me within a handful of minutes as I was skipping rocks with a friend! Not something you can control. These topics are overall a sweet vanilla icing on a piece of carrot cake. "To when a Capri Sun was a hot commodity " "To when you cannot live alone" "To...

Thank you for stopping by :) I do mention a few perhaps sensitive things which have been marked with time stamps. It is very very hot outside, well here anyway, so grab a glass of cold water and sit back and look up at the sky! “To when I overcame part one of two in fishing” (Includes intermittent and descriptive talk about worms… 4:01 - 9:09) "To when I fell in love with farming" "To when I did t...

When life changes happen and you lose your sense of control, eat ice cream and drink water! I don’t actually talk about eye dilation in this episode I just wanted to gain your attention, although, I DID just have them dilated. Everything checked out :) “To when I danced too hard at a wedding” “To when mascotting was my only form of exerCYse” “To when I owned a water bottle for 8 years” “To when I...

I am finding it fun to experiment what hours of the day my mind is best able to think thoroughly, there are no clear conclusions yet. Thanks for stopping by :) “To when I didn’t know what politics were” “To when I don’t follow rules” “To when my attention span runs very short” “To when I got super interested in owning a lightsaber” DISCLOSURE: GOING ON TANGENTS MAY OR MAY NOT BE INVOLVED, THIS SHO...

You will find nothing mildly offensive in this episode, I will refrain from exacerbating stories for a while. I feel you and pray ya’ll are doing ok :) The sun came up today and there is a good chance it will tomorrow. I will see, well, talk to you next week! :p “To when math books and 6th grade math were the coolest” “To when we built with those rod things” “To when I kidnapped my friend’s shoes...
