Jailbreak

I have to admit that while jailbreaks are becoming harder and harder for the community to come out with, I want to say that I really appreciate their efforts to jailbreak the iphone and hope that there will be one for the iphone 8 and ios 11. My phone again lost the semi-tether for several hours and it’s painful. My folders are set at 5×5 icons instead of the annoying 3×3 that apple restricts you to. I have six icons in the dock instead of the four apple also restricts you to. My productivity being jailbroken is so much more than the apple walled garden. I understand their reasoning for fighting the jailbreaks… security. But honestly, many apple ‘ideas’ were simply taken from the jailbreak community and pushed forth as some innovation from apple. I don’t see apple innovating much these days, just tweaking and changing as technology improves. *sigh*.

I’m just glad rejailbreaking is simple for what I have right now and my device is back to normal. I hope not to have a restart anytime soon. What a hassel.

(spoiler alert) short review of wonder woman (spoiler alert)

This was an unexpected and unscheduled stop at the movies tonight.

My mother had fallen asleep before my uncle could call and I was trying to figure out what I was going to do next.

Work on my book? Get a snack since dinner left me a little hungry? Get to sleep early even though I wasn’t yet tired?

None of the above it seems.

break through fear

Running has been an off and on passion of mine since high school. It didn’t start with myself though. Like many things in life, motivation was kindled from the opposite sex. I was attracted to someone that joined the cross county team and so I did as well. I liked running already so it wasn’t a hard choice either and the high school girls I went to school with looked good in their short outfits. It’s easier to keep pace behind someone that you really want to keep looking at. Continue reading

Food separation

I would agree with most of my friends that I tend to be a food separatist. You know, we’re the people you see eating that work on one item at a time on their plate, sometimes even going so far as to physically separate the food items into discreet and noticeable areas to better delineate the differences.

So yes, I think I do tend to pick at one thing and then move onto the next. But after a recent experience I have new insight into why I, who knows about why others do it, might be like this.

Bad joke

I was going to tell my new doctor a joke to explain why it isn’t always easy to remember to take medications everyday when I’m traveling but he didn’t seem like he was in a chatty mood…

“I want to take Ginko but I keep forgetting.”

Squirrel!

Not equal yet

Unfortunately I’ve found myself sucked into the social media thing and tend to quick post something instead of taking the time to flesh out thoughts into my blog, including yet another book i started writing and will likely not finish. Today is supposed to be international women’s day. It was interesting to learn that women can also practice misogyny. I presumed it was just a male against female thing.

One of my dating apps was advocating women taking the first step. So, why don’t women? Belief in ‘traditional values’? Would they have to acknowledge the fear that men may face asking out women? What other motivators/demotivators play their role in this? As a male or is and probably will remain a mystery.
