I don’t know if this has always been the case, or if it’s a new thing. Almost every night, as the sun sets, I find myself getting increasingly worried about things that range from unlikely to extremely unlikely. It’s as if the sun represents hope and possibility, and as it sets, I feel like yet another day has gone by, and I have too little to show for it. I don’t really have a clever rejoinder, other than to say Carpe Diem!
As I mentioned, a couple years ago (almost), I experienced some strokes, and I was hospitalized for a couple months (during which time, Queen Elizabeth died, in case I wasn’t confused enough). Anyway, during the time I was drugged in the hospital, I spent some time hallucinating. Specifically, I thought leather was made from human…
Something that gets on my nerves _and_ seems unnecessary & unhelpful is people acting against their own interests. I know a guy, and early in the year, he was lamenting to me that children should be prohibited by law from getting sex-reassignment surgery, to which I say /shrug.

A little less than two years ago, I had a series of strokes, which was extremely disruptive, but I fully acknowledge I was extremely fortunate. I will also add that “fat-shaming” is unhelpful (get a better hobby), but I don’t believe in “Healthy at Any Size.” I saw numerous overweight people at rehab. That is…
I’ll admit I had the lyrics of this song wrong and my childhood best friend was right. Alas. At the beginning of Ministry’s “Just One Fix,” two guys are talking, and one says “Give me the Thorazine” and the other replies, “You don’t need the Thorazine.” I always thought he said, “Give me the force”…
Once upon a time, it made sense to be very explanatory to get the desired results, but that approach is now backwards. Instead of things getting easier for people, people gotta start getting (way) smarter. Things that were once intuitive are starting to seem advanced. It’s getting scary.
