In a weird confluence of events, a mosquito just up and died on the wall in my home. Apparently, the poor creature was so worn out by existing that it didn’t even have enough energy to obey the laws of gravity.

A dead mosquito somehow attached to a wall.

What we didn’t understand at the time, was that “10 million strong and growing” wasn’t talking about kids eating Flintstones Kids Vitamins, it was specifically talking about the army of blood cells strong enough to combat the germs that come from drinking water from the hose…

You know, I don’t expect my body to to still act like it did in my 20’s, but it would be nice if my body didn’t constantly give me some new sensation/symptom to Google every few days.

Today has required a lot of me, from car matters, to air conditioning repair, to navigating upset family, and seemingly everything else imaginable. I’m just gonna listen to Dido and try to let it all go. Perhaps tomorrow will be better…

Dido album cover “life for rent.” The song “White Flag” is playing.

This strategy makes it easier to tell people that I’m “going out” and doing stuff all the time, which makes my life sound 200% more interesting than it actually is.

It’s not an easy path those of us who are kind travel, however, when all is said and done I would rather be remembered for my kindness, compassion, and decency than for anything else I’ve done.

Sometimes, I forget people actually think about me and that I’m a real person that other people know. To be fair, they only think about me like once a year, but it’s pretty wild when it happens.

Nothing is impossible, simply mathematically improbable. As DM, if I tell you to roll a d20 and you hit a natural 20, I will let you do the impossible. I’m in the business of making a great experience for the players, including epic victories. Thats the beauty of playing a TTRPG.

Watchmen meme

Rorschach says, “A natural 20 shouldn't be automatic success; some things are impossible.”

Dr. Manhattan replies, “If it's not possible, don't make them roll dice.”

Dr. Manhattan destroys Rorschach.

Wish I had the startup necessary to open a place like this. I imagine there is a good community of people that would really vibe with this concept. #WritingCommunity

In Japan, a new trend called Jucy Book Rave has people going to nightclubs just to sit quietly & read books while a DJ plays ambient music

Don’t worry about me. I’m fine. I’m just having an allergic reaction to living.

Your brain doesn't need more cheap dopamine. It needs connection, sunshine, nature, water, rest, exercise, and some good music. Coffee or tea helps.

I’m at that crucial part in my own character growth arc where I have identified my flaws and the problems that need to be solved, but I’m feeling shackled by the years of poor decisions that led me to the circumstances I find myself in. Nothing I’m trying to fix is working.

She is right. The song “Radiohead” by Talking Heads is better than anything recorded by the band Radiohead. I said what I said.

A man at a music store says, “I love Radiohead.” A woman next to him replies, “Me too.” The man is thinking about the various albums recorded by the band Radiohead. The woman is thinking about the song Radiohead by the band Talking Heads.

This is the kind of punk Christianity I can get behind.

They hated Jesus because he told the truth.

Jesus says, “POSER. POSER. POSER. youre all posers. none of you are real punks.”

I know this is a shot in the dark, but if you know of any remote Recruiter job opportunities where you work, let me know. I am still working (been there 7 years), but the handwriting is on the wall and I think it’s time line something new up before the other shoe drops.
