I know that I am supposed to be level-headed but firm when calling my representatives about issues...but I'm that didn't happened today. I just left incredibly scathing f-bomb filled voice messages for my PA "representatives" to get Elon Musk out of shit. I know nothing will come of this.

If you're protesting tomorrow: "I invoke my rights to silence and counsel and will not answer questions without my attorney present." MEMORIZE THAT, because aside from asking if you're free to leave (or providing ID if you're in a stop and ID state), that's the ONLY thing you ever say to cops.

2025 is definitely going to be a ramp of my reading habit that I've put into practice in 2024. My wide-ranging book collection touches on philosophy, art, metaphysics, spirituality, science, sociology, etc. A true liberal arts curriculum. One stand out book: Finite and Infinite Games by James Carse

Something that's been on my mind a lot lately....the amount of trash along the banks of the Yellow Breaches by house. It's apparently a world class fly fishing destination...and the shore and trails are littered with bottles, cans, and trash. I need big ass waders to go clean this shit up.

I spent a significant portion of time over the weekend meditating. My daily practice I akin to a gym workout....making it a daily habit, progress is progress each day, and trying new things is a welcome activity. Anecdottaly, my practice has greatly reduced my anxiety...and eroding my cynicism.
