My name is Brian; it means “to rot.” Husband, Pops, assembler. Bad attitude, terrible posture. Minneapolish, by way of Rockford, IL. my opinions are your own.
Can I still use the coffee mug though?

Oh my goodness I never thought I’d have to say this on Bsky, but “RIP your replies!”

Whether you think you can or think you can’t… you’re right.

(Maybe wear some pads and a helmet just in case)

Finding comfort in watching Reno 911 reruns and spotting guest characters played by people I’ve become a fan of since the original airing of the show.
@daveholmes.bsky.social as Leslie Frost just got me!

I call my vape a “baba” now. Thanks, Vic.

Until then, I’m listening to this song on repeat:

Goddamn I am way too sensitive to be on social media. Let’s hurry this workday along so I can go home and play medium-loud guitar and look up salmon recipes, ok?

I don’t have any of that second part here. Just the everything sucks part!

You have to stope comparing yourself to George W., Vic.

Has anyone ever thrown *both* shoes at your head during a press conference?!

That was one of my first CDs I ever owned! But the first time I heard the play it was a dubbed tape of the Michael Damian so I’m revisiting that one. I’ve seen Donny live a couple times though!

So far today I’ve listened to three podcasts and The Thermals and the Michael Damian recording of the Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. I think I need to re-up on my ADD meds.

A little blizzard won’t keep me from my grilled meat!

Should be cleaned up for my 4:30am commute on Monday right?! 😅

‘Bout time someone addressed these fucking rumors.

I’m on a huge Beatles kick right now. Where should I start with the Kinks?

Tonight’s dinner is pasta 3 ways:
Dairy free Mac and Cheese,
Spaghetti with meatballs,
Spaghetti Aglio e Olio

Not because I’m an amateur short-order cook, but because my children are picky eaters and i like to pretend I’m fancy with simple ingredients.

“You can’t go home again,” only applies when the food stops filling the void.

(For the uninitiated, Rockford, IL has tons of amazing food. Tonight, it was the pizza for me)

Telling on myself here, but prior to listening to this week’s episode of The Neighborhood Listen on @cbbworld.bsky.social my only frame of reference for the idiom ‘sixes and sevens’ was in the song “Don’t Cry for Me Argentina.”
I’m now champing at the bit to use the phrase within earshot of my kids.

Turns out the van is a total loss. Just went and cleared all our personal belongings (also, a bunch of garbage thanks to children).

Thank you for your service Kia Sedona 🫡.
Even though I was looking out for them, I still managed to hit a deer on my way home today. It rolled around a bit then got up and ran away, still being chased by the buck that ran it into the road. I wasn’t hurt and was still able to drive the van home.

Tis the season 🙄. Look out for deer!
