I'm still figuring myself out.
Don't know if this has been discussed anywhere else, but my hypothesis is that the reason Jason Bateman's character in Dodgeball is the way he is is because he's been hit in the head A LOT by dodgeballs.

So, I have a specific beer (Sam Adams Utopias) picked out for when HE shuffles off this mortal coil (no matter how it happens)....
I think I should pick out something specific for when Putin dies as well. Something really strong and cellar-able, probably a good barrel aged barleywine...

I made a decision recently that if I'm getting tickets to a concert for "me", at like a big venue, I'm splurging for the field or the pit or similar. No more nosebleeds. I'm 52 and I can afford it.
I just spent $278 to be right in front of the stage for AC / DC. Hopefully they live to next year.

TBC, if you're all like "We should go back to running our own datacenter", your datacenter will go down as well.

This Piece of shit ICE Agent is wearing an airsoft mask. They're great for not getting hit in the mouth by an airsoft pellet, not sure what he thinks it's gonna do for him.
Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

First shower beer in a VERY long time. I'm trying to get back on the bike regularly, and a shower beer is what I get after a ride 😁

I've driven 2500 over the past 4 days. Round trip from Denver to Eugene, OR to move youngest into an apartment.
I'm so fucking glad:
1. to be alive
2. to be home with Ethan, Amy, the dogs, the cats, AND MY OWN FUCKING BED AND KNOWING I DON'T HAVE TO DRIVE FOR EIGHT FUCKING HOURS TOMORROW! :)

I like to think of myself as an okaly intelligent person.
Uhaul Guy (UG): I can't let you take the trailer without hooking up a wiring harness on the vehicle.
Me: Why?
UG: Uhaul won't let us
Me: Why?
UG: You'll get pulled over for no brake lights
Me: (in my head) ... I'm such a fucking idiot.

Just because someones parents are MAGA doesn't mean the kid isn't a liberal. I know there's been a lot of wishful thinking going around from both sides but I'm honestly not sure if we know the truth yet (Unless we've got something solid in like the past 24 hours)

To be clear: Political violence is NEVER OK.
In the US we seem to not want to speak ill of the dead. Such BS! you CAN (and SHOULD!) talk about the dead with truth!

Saw Shin Godzilla for a 2nd time recently (At the Alamo), and boy if it can't be also seen as a metaphor for idiot management that yet again need to be bailed out by the people that get shit done.

Yesterday: We watch Blade, where they resurrect the blood god "La Magra"
Today: I donate blood with my "Blood for the blood god" shirt.
Coincidence?

In Vegas for the weekend, and I try to hit up local comic shops when I'm visiting places, see if they have anything I want, as I'd rather support local shops anywhere than support Amazon.
Found A copy of The Question Omnibus so I had to have it! More than I was planning on spending but OH WELL!
