No DMs. I'm from the Central time zone. I like liking things. People are inherently good. I do theatre and film sometimes. I'm getting greyer and rounder, but that's okay.

Welp, I did decide to come to Japan in September, I suppose I can't complain about a typhoon....

Day 10 in Japan. It struck me that kids still walk home from school. Meanwhile, my old high school got shut down this week because kids brought guns.

I'm fucking amazed that we're experiencing racial cleansing in America and there are people who still blame it on Hillary Clinton. Un-fucking-believable.

Well I didn't expect a weird mashup on "9 to 5" and "Don't Dream It, Be It" to be stuck in my head, either, but here we find ourselves.

A kind journalist was nice enough to look this up for me, unbidden. I remember this front page. Reading it with my Mom. 1987. Bless you, baseball.

I wrote a little dribble on FB about Seven Gratitudes I have. I'll just post the last couple here: 6. I'm grateful for a world that had Dolly Parton and Tim Curry, although I wish they could have done a duet together. Can you imagine? 7. I'm grateful to have friends that, yes, CAN imagine that!

My nephew is trans. He's 22. He never played sports. Here in Oklahoma, his elected representatives don't mind making his existence as a human being debatable if it curries favor with the electorate. I think the OK GOP has changed in the last 20 years. It's not about liberty anymore.

I know that baseball is a weird game. The Dodgers' num. 7 hitter makes more than the GDP of some nations. But if the #Brewers can be relevant for this much of my lifetime, don't you dare tell me I'm stupid to hope. My 12yo. self has been right about a lot of things. And I'm 51.

It's obviously not the tragedy of the situation, but it also sucks that they're disparaging the name of Abraham Lincoln. Sorry, sailors: ending slavery was the original wokeness and you're collateral damage.

It's a weird thing, telling the guy who's been your best friend since you were fifteen, to go fuck himself, 36 years later. Kinda really hurts. Definitely not the person I wanted to be. Get me out of this fucking state. Nothing here for me anymore.

Into my fifties, weird question: did I change or did my friends? I'm the one who's still single and has no kids, but I feel like they want to make me out to be the guy who changed. I love my nieces and nephews. And yes, I have changed. I just haven't changed into what you have.

I did something good in the universe today. Put on my big theatre voice and kept a young guy from beating up a young girl in the middle of a grocery store parking lot. Voice and Diction classes coming in big for the win.

I realized today that there could be a show where someone asks the protagonist, "Who are you, Wikipedia Brown?" Then I also realized how many people wouldn't get the joke, and wanted to hang myself immediately.

There was a girl I liked named Dolores. She said, "When the violence causes silence, we must be mistaken." ICE agents are still doing evil. The Department of War is still doing evil. Silence isn't evil. But it's a mistake.

I blame every classical composer since Bach for how fast piano keys are striking in my brain right now. Girls. Futures. Possibilities. Waking up in the morning. Cue the first movement if I should fall in love...? It could suck. Then, "Possum Kingdom" happens. What should I listen to?

Top panel is tiny planet Mercury in relation to the HUGE Sun.
Bottom panel is a similar image, a tiny "close ad" button in relation to the fingertip labeled "my finger" which fills nearly the entire panel.
