One can find someone who is their friend, is someone they love, and with whom they have a great sexual relationship but still get zoned into “it’s complicated”. If reality wasn’t so messy, and we didn’t have such fucked up childhoods, my ride or die and I would be a perfect couple. Instead we’re sometimes fuck buddies, sometimes lovers, sometimes friends, sometimes play relationship. It’s complicated.

Neither will my parents, but that’s a different story. On the other hand I can spend 30 seconds walking to the end of my driveway and back to retrieve my mail and my dog thinks my return is the second coming. Pick those you invest yourself in wisely.

Begrudgingly, if they’re down for the cause. The rule that only those who “return” from exile in Northern Europe get to hold positions of power still applies.

Israel’s big reveal is going to be that they did in fact send an agent to the western hemisphere hundreds of years ago just to bury some golden tablets in upstate New York and will be activating the entirety of Deseret with the phrase “Hie to Kolob”.

I’ve pondered on the idea that, although not comfortably, you could in theory have any bone in your body surgically removed and live to see it. Except your skull. You’ll never see your own skull.

According to the Pope’s biographer, when the guy complained about his depiction the Pope said “My jurisdiction extends only to Heaven, not to Hell. In Hell you must remain.”

Nah, they’ll survive. It’ll just kill all the buds on your trees and your bulbs that were duped into poking up.

Pops is gonna get recalled for one last tour in Iran.

“I am quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away but with blood. I had, as I now think vainly, flattered myself that without very much bloodshed it might be done.” -John Brown

The war isn’t just with those in power, who as someone else pointed out are far beyond the reach of the average American, it’s with our neighbors and family members that support these leaders and policies. This administration is the fruit of a rotten tree, remove it without addressing the roots and it will just grow back in some new form, maybe next year, maybe next decade. Our elected officials that oppose this admin on paper do nothing with their power to stop it. Our courts either rubber stamp it or when they do rule against it get ignored because law enforcement is complicit.

A lone wolf might strike back here and there but such actions don’t make a difference because they are quickly neutralized, their targets are easily replaceable and elevated to martyrs.

Until the opposition has some semblance of unity, leadership, and the resolve to see through what is started to the brutal, bloody, bitter end; this is America. We’ll either keep telling ourselves “next election, next release of files, next court ruling, next protest will change this” and live under perpetual disappointment and tyranny (at home and abroad), or we’ll accept violence and gamble on which side has a better resolve. Gonna get real ugly once that Rubicon is crossed, and we all know it so that’s why nobody wants to be the first. Just ask true American hero John Brown.

Couch potato.

Where’s Inigo Montoya when we need him?

I mean, it brought at least two people together.

My neighbor is a Vietnam era Marine. Looking at him you’d expect him to be that kind of guy. We live in a neighborhood with a large Hispanic population and have been having problems with wannabe ICE cruising around trying to identify homes where they live. Watched old boy stroll out of his house casually strapped (open carry state) and up to a car load of cousin fuckers who he sent skittering when they stopped to harass our Hispanic neighbor’s kids. Ironically the dad of the kids they were there to harass is a “Fuck Your Feelings” flag-waving Trumper 🙄

Still can’t hold a candle to Dizzy.

Disney should be preparing a lawsuit to halt “Agents of Shield”. Not because they care, but because nobody fucks with the Mouse’s IP.

He’s a vampire wizard, of course he was that old.

But jokes aside, yes. Old enough he witnessed the last public execution by guillotine in France, met Tolkien personally, and while his tales may have grown a bit, he’s one of the inspirations for Ian Fleming’s James Bond. He famously told Peter Jackson people don’t scream when they get stabbed in the back, they just go “uh”. Also performed heavy metal. He’s genuinely pretty badass.

Back when I was booking shows it was great because you could blast a small event and know it was reaching a lot of people. Bands would share it, every band member would reshare it. But then I noticed the growing discrepancy between the amount of people who claimed they’d attend online and who showed up. Like so much on FB, the illusion of being a part of something became more important than actually being a part of something. But yeah, for a brief moment there was a bit of “social” in social media. Then came the yelling.

Christopher Lee was some sort of agent as well. However, joining the Sith, becoming an vampire, and cutting down the forests of Isengard are kinda dick moves.

Plenty of keep our lives exciting by addictionmaxing. Food, booze, cigarettes, drugs, sex, gambling, shopping, animal hoarding…
