Laz: "And I took that personally..."

It's March 4th (get it?). Here's proof I was a super marching band nerd a million years ago.

When your tattoo artist does a Valentine's Day sale, you get a couple's tattoo referencing your favorite gay pirate romcom.

It's been nearly 18 years since the last time I competed in a forensics tournament. Apparently that is the amount of time it takes for former speech nerds to be able to use "quote" as a noun.

This truly is the end of an era. I'm not sure how I feel about this.

These stupid mother fuckers are going to close hundreds of nursing homes, homeless shelters, abuse shelters, and transitional housing for hundreds of thousands of Americans including veterans, seniors, women, and children. These fucking monsters. Flynn is such a piece of shit.

She did tell us to beep her in the event of the apocalypse.

There are 84 days until the JTARF Marathon and 84 songs on the playlist for that race.
The first one is "Ole" by the Bouncing Souls. It's just one of those universal "get pumped" songs.

I have degrees in both political science and human resources management. I mostly use them to explain, "That's not what DEI is" and "Yes, you can be fired for saying bigoted shit. That's not at all a first amendment issue."

The next four years are going to be exhausting.

Sean and I figured we'd give ourselves something to laugh at and watched "Man on the Inside."

There were laughs, but we largely just ended up sobbing and yelling "Dammit, Michael Schur!"

Sometimes the words of a favorite book come rushing back:

"A wall is the defense of a country that values inaction. But a wall imprisons the people of a country as much as it protects them."
- Christopher Moore "Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal"

Same weekend as the Broad Street Run!?!? I'm taking this as a sign that the universe really wants me to get into that race so I'll already be in Philly that weekend.

Just so there's no question as to what I'm about.

Time for the emergence of a new Nazi-punching superhero.

Just going to leave this here.

"If I was of the Greatest Generation I'd be pissed
Surveying the world that I built slipping back into this
I'd be screaming at my grandkids, "WE ALREADY DID THIS!"
-Frank Turner

We really took Tom from MySpace for granted. Those were simpler times.

Felt like a fitting first post here.
