BIG POTATO ONLINE

Cynical about life, serious about vegetables.

PL

Hi there! I’m Grzegorz, a man blessed with that utterly average name that perfectly matches my personality. I’m also a father of two kids who force me to pretend I’m responsible and sensible. The battle for the last piece of chocolate in the fridge makes my life even more chaotic.

Of course, I’m also my wife’s husband — a never-ending journey through a labyrinth of surprises. What’s my role as a spouse? Well, I’m the chief executor of urgent commands for the sake of our household ecosystem. I’m also an expert at asking questions laced with magic. Sometimes, these questions leave my better half speechless, making her ponder the very meaning of being a wife.

Our home zoo is enriched by two fluffy, food-obsessed guinea pigs. Who’d have thought such tiny creatures could stir up so much emotion and noise? But at least they’re great friends for my kids and know exactly how to demand attention.

My big hobby is my modest vegetable garden. Yes, I love watching plants grow slowly, only to consciously ignore the fact that I have no idea what to do with them afterward. At least I can show off the photos on Instagram! When I’m not in the garden, you’ll likely find me in front of the TV or computer — movies and video games are my escape from reality.

Of course, virtual pleasures don’t compare to family outings in nature. A walk in the woods with my wife and kids is a true escape from daily chaos. Beautiful landscapes, peace, fresh air, and sometimes even encounters with wild animals. A wonderful closeness to nature — as long as we ignore all the comforts we left at home!

But that’s not the end of my quirks! Other little things that interest me include:

  • Paleoastronaut theory — what if aliens visited Earth thousands of years ago?
  • Taking photos, especially the kind no one cares about.
  • Collecting bottlecaps as proof that I’m a serious adult.

On top of all this, I run this blog, where I share my extraordinary thoughts — fascinating only to me and a few friends who, after hours of pleading, finally visited my site. But that won’t stop me from continuing my writing career at an epically monotonous level. I won’t change the world, but at least I put a smile on my wife’s face — she still pretends to listen!

Since you already know almost everything about me, it’s time for the final piece of this puzzle – my presence on social media! If you feel like wasting a few minutes of your time or just want to see what new things I haven’t come up with, feel free to follow me where the servers are overheating from the lack of my content:

  • Instagram: Where I stalk people in the middle of an existential crisis.
  • Facebook: Where I drop in to overzealously correct spelling and grammar in random comment sections.
  • X: Where I am present, although I miss the days when it was the bird app.
  • Bluesky: Where I created an account, mainly to claim my username before it was too late.
  • YouTube: Where I run a reality shorts show about the birds in my garden, who are much more talented actors than I am.

I would be incredibly pleased if you subscribed, liked, or at least thought warmly of my profiles.

Well, that’s all about me. Glad you’re here — now brace yourself for a thrilling journey through my averagely average life, which I try to make slightly less average, even though I’m really just another Grzegorz in the crowd.
