Something About Current Events

January 24, 2026 Tony Burgess Leave a comment

Another person was murdered in Minneapolis today. It’s a place that didn’t ask for the trouble it’s in right now.

A Winter storm is headed to our area. We are hunkering down for the next couple of days.

The United States is a horrible place because of our vile president and his government.

The world seems on fire. So much shit is going on.

Current events are sad, depressing, challenging.

I am feeling it all, and it’s a lot to deal with.

Somehow the Hunger Games movies are offering some comfort.

Lord have mercy.

Something About Feelings

January 18, 2026 Tony Burgess 1 Comment

I have talked about feelings before, and I have a few more things to say.

Everyone has feelings. They are wonderful, but they can also be a problem. I struggle with my feelings because I feel very deeply about things. A lot of times I don’t know how to manage it out of fear and perhaps some societal norms that men have about the subject.

Dealing with one’s feelings and emotions takes work, and I don’t always do my best there. Knowing your feelings requires you to sit with them and hope for the best. All I know is that “everybody hurts” sometimes, and that time can heal how you feel.

Feeling Friday

This has been a weird and sad week for many reasons. I am into my feelings at the moment. Life is what it is and we just have to endure what is happening in the moment. Dealing with stuff hopefully will provide room for happier times down the road. To those who are suffering you are never alone.

Stuffing Stuff In A Box

July 9, 2023 Tony Burgess 6 Comments

I don’t always deal with stuff I am going through when it is happening. Stuffing stuff in a box is typically what I do. Feeling your feels is hard and there will come a time when you have to deal with it all. Many of us just want to move on to the next thing before doing the work of reconciling with the people and things at the moment we are in. Of course, there are people like me who don’t take the time to resolve and reconcile. There are times when life makes you open those boxes and you have to deal with the stuff you find in them. So, the best way to move forward is to stop stuffing and start dealing. It’s a good thing for everyone to do.

Feeling All The Things

April 23, 2023 Tony Burgess 2 Comments

In the past few years, I have not been myself or the person I was in 2018. That was five years ago and much has happened since that time. I got older, lost my dad in 2019 (that took a lot out of me) then COVID happened and of course, the political shit we seem to endure daily. During that time I have been moody and frankly not a lot of fun to be around.

The one thing I can say is that I can only be myself and the person I am at that moment. Pleasing people is a hard habit to break and I still find myself being a slave to that.

I feel as if I am giving off an aura I think that repels some people. I am hoping that gets better as I go along. Being real means being authentic whatever that looks like. People should have the freedom to feel all their emotions and hope that others will be there to help pick up the pieces.
