My kiddo wanted to watch ‘Cats’ and I thought, sure. Why not. How bad could it be? Holy guacamole friends, this valley is so uncanny I feel like I’m losing my flippin’ mind. I can only keep my eyes on the screen for a few seconds at a time. So uncomfortable. Who thought this was a good idea?

Who’s gonna be the first person to say “I know he did it and I don’t care.” Or has someone said that already?

Man, last night was a breath of fresh air. Probably the first time I’ve felt some hope since election night ’24. Yes, a lot of bad shit is going to happen over the next 12 months. But a path out of the wilderness has been illuminated.

My kids are watching the 1995 classic ‘Casper’, which is presented in glorious Standard Definition. After a few minutes the older one asks, “Is this what movies used to look like?!” Yes. Yes, kiddo. It is.

Why is it whenever you need to sign something important you instantly forget how to write your signature? Your hand is like, I dunno bro. Never done this before. It’s just squiggles. SQUIGGLES.

Dang, August ended and I forgot to mark its passing by listening to the Taylor Swift song. It did indeed slip away into a moment of time. I didn’t sip it away (like a bottle of wine) so much as power chug it like a 40 of malt liquor.

As a long time fan of the Boss, I’m always amused whenever some stupid fucking news item causes folks to start posting Springsteen lyrics. Keep ‘em coming, my friends

Yeah, Post Malone is cool and all. But I’ve always preferred Pre Malone. If this joke has already been made, fuck you. I didn’t see it.

Man, I wish someone, ANYONE - member of congress, CEO, podcaster - would just admit this was a terrible fucking mistake. Come on y’all, you’re really gonna stay silent while this happens? We don’t have to go down this road. This is a choice.

What I struggle with the most is letting go. The world as we knew it probably can’t be saved. Everything is not going to be ok. We’ll be forced to witness an unbelievable amount of destruction and just hope at some point there will be a chance to rebuild. God help us.
