This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source. Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

So obviously I ran out of good days I could remember. I did take a vacation from it all last week and that was quite a few good days but overall this was a difficult exercise. All exercise is difficult for me so I shouldn’t be surprised.

Marrying my wife was one of my favorite days but I also really enjoy the first day we spent together. It wasn’t anything fancy. We were just together and I knew it was what I wanted for the rest of my life. It was a good day.

It’s time to share another good day. Christmas of 1984 was a typical one with presents and food at my grandparents. After the 3 hour drive home we were headed to bed when brother noticed we had a 2nd set of gifts under the tree at home. It was a huge surprise for a 6 year old.

Instead of counting down bad days I’m going to share good ones. When I was around 15 my dad took me fishing out on the ocean. I hooked a fish quickly and he shouted, “That’s my son!” to all the other guys fishing on the boat. It was a great day.

I fully expect four years of turmoil and uncertainty. Like before I’ll look for comfort and strength among family, friends, and strangers.

25 more minutes is too long. I’m going to bed. Had I gone to bed a half hour ago I could have been in a deep enough sleep to not be bothered by my neighbor doing fireworks joylessly in his driveway.

Thanksgiving went off without a hitch unless you count having to have it over a week late due to everybody being sick. We even managed to get the tree decorated.

I let my curiosity get the best of me. I watched one video of a mole being lazered off and now the Instagram algorithm thinks I want to see nothing but laser thing removal.

I’ve been coughing for three weeks now. My ribs hurt and there’s no sign of it stopping. #manflu

Maybe I was too harsh about double neck guitars. Probably not but maybe.

The biggest thing I’m looking forward to right now is a Weinerschnitzel being built in my area.

Weather forced me inside this evening. I had my heater but the snow was all like, “Yeah, no.”

I’ve given this a lot of thought. A double necked guitar isn’t cool. I don’t care who’s playing it. Yeah, you can get your 12 string part in there and also play your solo without switching but nobody really notices the 12 string part. Just play your six string. Be cool.

I have no idea what’s going on and I kind of like it. Sooner or later I will return to the doom scroll but for the holiday season, Biden is still the president and there’s visible kindness in the world.

If they weren’t such monsters I’d think they were kind of a cute couple. JD clearly thinks so.

I wonder if I could get away with describing every fuck up as “perfect.” If I break a coffee cup I could just tell people I made a perfect cup of coffee.

It feels weird not having family members to argue with. Thanksgiving in the ol’ echo chamber I guess. Maybe I’ll try to work “strawman” into conversation during dinner tonight.

I always feel like a piece of shit going to Starbucks on a holiday. I know they’re going to be there whether I go or not but I feel like if none of us went they wouldn’t open and people could stay home. My coffee is good and I tipped well but I still feel like a douche.

I love my echo chamber or as it’s more commonly known, a place where there are people I agree with.

So let me get this straight. They’re upset that their shenanigans turned Twitter into cesspool and now they want to come here and they’re mad that they can’t be shitty?

This morning I hopped into the old truck and my blinker was going faster than usual. I know that this means one of the bulbs is out. $4 for a two pack and a little jiggery pokery with the tail lamp housing and I’ve got a working brake light again. Being raised poor taught me how to fix stuff.

I got the latest COVID booster this morning. I’ve been getting them since the first one was made available. According to right wing media I have now died several times. My arm hurts and I feel tired which I know is irritating my wife but she’s screaming in her heart instead of being mad at me.

I ordered progressive lenses for my new glasses. I hope it doesn’t come off as virtue signaling.

I was trying to do some music in my journey to put out some amazing content for my 11 followers. Then I was all like, how do I get music to go here. Then I had to go to the bathroom. After that the moment had passed. Enjoy.

I just found out that Jimmy Buffet doesn’t sing the Piña Colada song. It’s not as impactful as you would think but I thought it was important to mention it.

I recognize that I’m not a content machine. I’m good for one moderately decent joke per month. The 1st around the corner though so I’m going to work on it.

I didn’t do many of the things I planned on doing this weekend unless you count getting froo froo coffee which I had planned on doing as being a thing. I did fix my wife’s car so that’s something. Maybe I’ll do some laundry.

Yeah, I’m religious. I believe in the holy trinity.

I’m not much of a Taylor Swift fan but I really want one of those bracelets.

I cannot stress enough how much God needs your money.
