Wife: you're only as old as you feel. Me: if that's the case, I need to get out there on the front porch and tell all those damn kids that get off my lawn.

Oh man, that video package at the end of #AEWdynamite tonigh... I don't know how I held it together, but holy crap, man. Consider my heartstrings tugged. I'm practically on the verge of tears right now. R.I.P. Pak.

I'm still on the fence about whether or not I'm going to be able to do tonight's aew dynamite. I've been in kind of a bummed out headspace of the last few days as it is, and losing Pak definitely didn't help anything in that regard. I just don't know if I can hold it together. I really don't. 🥹

#NowWatching Tires. Not going to lie, I don't usually go in for raunch comedy like this nowadays, but something about this show just keeps me hooked. Looking forward to watching more later tonight. Even if I have to suffer through Netflix with ads now.

Saw a post on here earlier today that reminded me just how unwelcome us third party voters are on mainstream social media. 😩 You think I'd be used to this by now, but I guess I was just expecting Bluesky to be cooler about it then hell site or Zucker Country.

R.I.P. Pak. My brother-in-law forwarded me the news just a minute ago, and I'm still shocked. This is not been a good weekend to be a professional wrestler.

And on this evening, I officially ran out of Dungeon Crawler Carl to listen to. At least until book 9 comes out. Whenever that might be. Holy monkey, what a ride! Admittedly, I did like some books better than others, but the series overall is well worth the time.

Apparently, last week, I made 35 cents in revenue on my self-published efforts. Yay me! I know I could probably make more if I charged more, but I never saw the point in charging 10 bucks for a 100 page PDF.

Well, I'll say this much: I was expecting the Titans to do a lot worse than this. Still bummed out we lost, and still contemplating the mystery of why every team I love sucks like a hoover, but all things considered, it could have been worse.

A #wip I've been stuck on for months to the point of shelving it indefinitely just managed to get on shelved. The writer's block I've been encountering for months finally broke, and I suddenly found myself adding two new chapters! Still don't know if I'll finish it, but I'm making progress again.

Well, for sure, 20 year old me would be pleasantly surprised to find out I do eventually get married. Then mortified when he finds out I became a father. Probably important to note that 20-year-old me was a dick, and I'm glad to have left him behind.

In the early 2010s, I started a short story called The Banjo of Unspeakable Horrors. The story itself didn't go anywhere, but the banjo I designed was pretty cool. Cool enough to make me forget any stance I have on the banjo.

In my series, The Starship Spacy McSpaceface, there are two characters who deserve a good punch in the face. LaRita Nolland: self appointed co-captain with a high opinion of herself., . Bobert Shannon: the ship's pilot. He gets away with everything because he's banging the boss.

Yeah, I've been hearing a lot of trash about the wolverine game, but I have to wonder how much of it is legit, and how much of it is the "fuk U git gud" crowd bitching about catering to those filthy casuals who don't like balls hard video games.

And here I thought I was going to be able to watch Titans football, now that there's so many options. Paramount has plenty of football games, but none of them are the titans. The local CBS affiliate isn't interested. All I get is silence if I try to listen on Titans Radio. Fucking hell!

PET PEEVE OF THE WHENEVER: when people on Instagram, or YouTube shorts, or whatever make a video, and feel obligated to zoom in super close to their face when delivering the last word of the punchline. As if to imply I'm too stupid to know where the punch line is, so here's where you laugh.

Funny to think how 20 years ago, David cage was one of my inspirations, and I was convinced Quaantic Dream could do no wrong. 20 years later, I am now convinced that Indigo Prophecy was a fluke. And even THAT game kind of age like milk in a way or two.

Again, all dating/ flirting advice from hot people is utterly meaningless. They could do literally anything and it would still work 90% as well as whatever technique they think they’ve mastered. Take notes from the popular ugly people instead

I'm putting my money on the table, and I am predicting that in the 2030s, acapella will be the most popular form of music. Partly as a result of anti AI sentiment being at an all-time high, but mostly because I think it would be funny.

In the early 2000s, Dave Meinstein created The Society of Men Unafraid to Love Unicorns Visibly (SMUTLUV). IT WAS TREATED AS A JOKE BACK THEN, BUT WITH THE 2010S COMING AND GOING, AND GROWN MEN ADMITTING TO LIKING My Little Pony, I'm starting to think Dave might have been ahead of the times.

Unfortunately, I'm not going to be able to catch All-In in real time. I know every woman ever hates it when men says something like this, but I'm babysitting while the missus is out. And I know how bloody these ppvs get, and I'm trying to be the responsible dad and not subject the toddler to that.
