Chey’s Lounge

For years, I’ve considered writing about what I’m feeling, the stuff I’m interested in, etc. Now is as good of a time as ever to start I guess (I don’t think there’s ever a good time, so I finally started). 

I somewhat recently began jotting down ideas for jokes for the first time ever. Years ago, I read Larry David has a little notebook to write down whatever pops into his head. I definitely am using my phone and not physically writing it, but I’m finally taking that little nugget of information and chomping down on it. I must admit, I’d love to visit the graveyard where my seemingly funny ideas (to me) are laid to rest. The notes app and my iCloud will be that for me now. Come to think of it, if I really cared, I would back that stuff up. Can’t trust any company! 

So yeah, I started a list, “Things”, of funny memories and ideas to maybe become jokes one day. I consequentially ended up starting a second list of topics that came to mind where I kind of want to explore further Much further than a little joke. A small, quick haha. I aptly titled that one “Ideas.”So here I am. Day 2 of actually writing stuff down. Exploring. Not actually using the ideas found in “Ideas.”

So, where are we going? Well, despite the technical difficulties trying to get this readable to others, my general stupidities, and likely founded insecurities, here I am, writing a little bit. I feel like I have so much to say, it makes me want to just say nothing. I wish writing was like piano sheet music. I have a lot to say and sometimes I want to talk about more than one thing at the same time. I guess that’s why I was drawn to Chicago style citations, footnotes are actually gods gift to me in particular. Speaking of citations, I have been thinking about school the past few days, especially a class I took during my masters, U.S. Constitution and ethical issues. I really wonder what it would be like to be enrolled in that course today. It’s not like we did that deep of a dive into it all, but even in the shallow end of constitutionality wave pool, there’s a lot under the surface. There is literally so much I don’t know. I guess I can’t swear over it, but I am completely sure that I have merely a rudimentary understanding of our laws. There’s just so much. I’m not an expert in the Constitution either, but at least it’s accessible. The Constitution is (at this point arguably theoretically) what each law in our country should be held up against and be in compliance with. Laws should be written with the spirit of the Constitution in mind, not just written in a way where they can use certain words and phrasing to leave them open ended enough to be used for or against one, depending on the situation. I feel we’re getting further from a country built upon these values each day. I’m pretty strong believer in following the law, but far stronger in the spirit of the law. I’ve been more and more discouraged, feeling others, especially those in power, feel the Constitution is a list of suggestions. Today, however, I did feel some were also concerned about this. I’m not entirely sure if that is actually a good sign at this point. I just want things to be good. What is good? Idk.. maybe we’ll talk about it. That seems like a good place to end it. A little hill hanger (cliff is far too dramatic). 

So where we’re going? Well, “girl we going to Islam!” – https://youtu.be/p5I-NwpngGA?si=OmIHMxj0MLvUHOE6
