When doom scrolling through all the ugly try to remember to love something as much as Rosie loves Red Ball.

I was rereading some old philosophy texts and came across this idea that all rights are based on a universal core of the right to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.
Wouldn’t that be a cool basis for a country?
Someone should try that.

Not how I expected it to be.

Don’t you dare take the X out of my Xmas.

There are only two Christmas song worth a damn:
Christmas Card from a Hooker in Minneapolis
-Tom Waits

Fairytale of New York
-The Pogues

I found a four leaf clover
In my yard today
It had one leaf missing off it
But that was okay
Looking it over I could easily see
Four is only just one more than three
That's close enough for me
Must be my lucky day
-Todd Snider

I’m going to spend this holiday forgetting about everything else going on and just be thankful for the great Kris Kristofferson’s Silver Tongued Devil album. Feels like something we could all agree on.

“People are strange: they are constantly angered by trivial things, but on a major matter like totally wasting their lives, they hardly seem to notice”
-C. Bukowski
