It is hard for me to relax. Often times I find myself having the need to do something. As a people pleaser, my radar runs continuously with the expectation of someone asking me to do something. Even as I write this I feel like I should be more productive. It’s hard for me to give myself permission to just chill out. This is something I need to figure out. People have given me permission to relax, I just need to accept it as a grown person who should be able to make their own rules. I need to calm the “F” down. seriously.

It’s Left-Handers Day Around The World – Blaugust – #LeftHandersDay
International Left-Handers Day is an international day observed annually on August 13 to celebrate the uniqueness and differences of left-handed individuals. Being left-handed can be difficult in a world designed primarily by right-handed humans. Studies suggest that approximately 10% of people are left-handed.
I am proud to say that I am very left-handed. Special people are born blessed with this gift. Many remarkable people are left-handed such as my Missus, Prince William, Oprah Winfrey, Lady Gaga, Barack Obama, Eminem, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Buzz Aldrin, Lebron James, Jon Stewart, Babe Ruth, and Morgan Freeman are all terrific southpaws.
To all my left-handed friends, we are truly in our right minds. Have a great left-handers day to all the good people who observe.
My Name’s Origin Story – #Blaugust
My full name is Anthony Leon Burgess and here is how my parents named me.
Anthony – comes from my maternal great-grandfather’s last name it was my grandmother’s maiden name too.
Leon – is my maternal grandfather’s middle name, the name he went by his whole life.
Burgess – is my last name as you can figure out.
Names can be like trademarks. I like this combination. However, everyone knows me as Tony, a nickname derived from Anthony. Tony in my mind is the greatest name for a mafia kingpin.
Dreams Can Be Weird – #Blaugust
I would say if you are living you are also dreaming. It is not the type of dreams about prosperity and possibility, but those dreams you have at night when you are asleep and your subconscious takes over. Your mind has to process the stuff that you input over time.
Sometimes it’s good stuff but other times it’s not very pleasant. My dreams are often weird and I suppose most people’s dreams are strange come to think of it. Dreaming is healthy and necessary. Dreams have different meanings and are more symbolic of something else in your life. Let’s just hope that dreams don’t turn into constant nightmares. Those aren’t fun.
The interpretation of dreams is the royal road to a knowledge of the unconscious activities of the mind.

If I Had A Shop, It Would Be Retro #Blaugust
I love retro and nerdy things so I think I would open a shop where you could buy vintage tech, media, clothing, and collectibles. Also, that shop would be where you could get retro treats like soda, candy, snacks, etc. As my generation gets older, having things that remind us of our childhood would be comforting. Newer generations might appreciate antiques from the times of the generations that came before. Just imagine the things that you would find in a store like that.

The Wheels On The Bus Go Round, School Begins #Blaugust
The school busses were out and running this morning, a sign of students returning to the classroom. On Facebook, I have seen many of my friend’s children in their first-day-of-class pictures. Back in my day the kids used to go back after Labor Day (in America). Now they go back in early August. I am hoping those kids will have a great year in the classroom and beyond. May they also be safe and secure. Let’s hope the lessons they learn this year will make the world a better place for themselves and for everyone. Do a good job kids.
