Hard to admit, but we can't make it inside to tomorrow's Greensky Bluegrass show in Miami. So were pivoting & going to enjoy the weather & sit outside of the small & awesome venue, & have a picnic while taking the boys to their first show.

So I made a playlist years ago while sitting in a pub in London. I was inspired by what was being played, warm ale, & fish & chips. Listening to it todsy for first time in a year or two. Felt like sharing. Enjoy.

Recommended to apply for a jobfrom an in-house employee. So I applied yesterday. Got an email today saying I'm impressive, but they're interviewing others. I'm not even getting a chance.
What's the fucking point anymore?

Just skimmed a story on Bleacher Report about the starting 5 for each NBA team so far this season. The 10-2 Pistons got a D w/a -10.4 net rating. And, this is why analytics have ruined sports. They have the 2nd best record in the NBA. Wins > Analytics

This is what I don't understand about the 7 Dems & King voting to end the shutdown. They were promised a vote about ACA in Dec. But were they the only Senators shown a GOP plan or Trump's concept of a plan? If not, what else were they promised that others weren't?

Found out a cat scan that I needed to check abdominal/pelvic pain potentially due to hernias will cost me close to $3000, & that's w/my shitty ACA insurance. Appointment now cancelled!!

Just recalled a dream I had last night about meeting Mike Gordon at a coffee shop & praising him for his interview w/Rick Rubin on Tetragrammaton. Then he gave me a high five. Which leads me to ask, does Gordo give high fives or not?

Was this charade just part of Trump's concept of a plan?

Hey @schumer.senate.gov @booker.senate.gov Let's actually make the ACA affordable. Fight for Americans like me who may not be able to get quality coverage for me & my family. Americans are being held hostage by needing a job for health insurance. That's insane!! Do not give the GOP a win.

@schumer.senate.gov what did you do? Who's benefitting here? Primarying against the GOP isn't enough anymore. The Dems need to have the balls to stick it to people like the GOP. Do something & hold the GOP hostage. Fix the ACA. Fight like you've never fought. Trump is going to use this as a big win.

Got a dose of reality today & it was hard to hear.
Last 2 years, since losing my job, has been up & down. I'm applying, getting a lot of no, if anything at all. I'm freelancing, but it's not enough. I'm yelling, angry, & bitter. Trying to remain optimistic, but it's hard.
Advice? Jobs?

This @detroitlions.bsky.social beatdown should have come in last year's playoffs. Keep running up the score to get revenge from last year, '99, '91, & '82.

I was told today to "just get a job". I wish it was that easy. So who out there is handing out jobs w/a decent salary, health insurance, etc.?

Fucking hit the wall earlier today. Have loads of regrets for how I treated someone. The stress & exhaustion is real, & I was an asshole.
Also feeling demoralized & weirdly uplifted. May have 2 new contracts from 2 vendors for jobs at companies who didn't interview me when I applied. What!?!?!

Trying this again. 2010 Alpine Valley. When leaving the venue, someone started the most random call & response, "When I say mayonaise, you say nipples." Who are you? Where are you?

Hungry, but no desire to make something. Have deadlines & want to work out, but not motivated. And, want the Lions to make a move, but I'm sure they won't & continue w/no Super Bowl appearances.

Who likes the career path you took? Why? Why no? Has anyone changed careers in your 40s+? Difficult?
Looking for some advice since I'm thinking of changing careers since it's difficult to get something full-time in my field.

Bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, loss. Got outplayed. Made too many mistakes. Bad play-calling. Looked off on both side of the ball. And, w/Packers loss, we could have been atop the North.

I really hope that Campbell is just playing poker when he said he didn't think the Lions would be active at the deadline. As good as this team is, they have holes & need a player or three (DB, Edge, & OL).

Going from a game in which the Lions were led by the Legion of Whom against the Bucs to what we see on the field today after a bye is quite a contrast.

This was leftover from a Halloween party at our house. Who does this? Perhaps someone pulled a Halloween trick because it's definitely not a treat.

Just off the phone w/my dad. Talked sports, which I love doing w/him. Talked about U of M football & point spread. I don't understand why anyone would say "Team X won, but they didn't cover." The belief is they're not as good as what people think. Who cares? A win is a win. Wins > point spread
