girl help I'm once again thinking about how Cosmo Cosma is heavily implied to be pro-astrophysics instead of pro "stars are ancient fairies holding giant wands" and this is apparently his biggest secret he refuses to admit to anyone including Wanda

Well, that was that then. Brad had himself a New Years Resolution. His resolution was to not have a resolution for the year that was new in the moment where he was. That was on the beach in Santa Monica at the end of 2023.

While he was there staring into 2024, he was also giving up lent for lent, and trading in Columbus Day for an Akron knight. He would just need to convince Elton John to take a holiday to Ohio in October. It was a good thing leaves died pretty. He could use that to his advantage.

If that didn’t work out, Brad would try a different time of day. Akron Dawn for example could score an obvious sponsorship assuming people in Ohio did their dishes upon waking up. It sounded like something people in sensibly sized Midwest cities might do.

The notion never crossed his mind in Brad’s 22 years living in Los Angeles. Why would anyone born and bred in Southern California ground themselves where it could crack open and swallow you whole at any second? Midwestern sensibility just didn’t stack up here.

Akron was in Ohio right? Brad could never be sure even with a smart phone in his hand. Miss Information was everywhere and there were no places to hide. How would you know where to go anyway?

All the cities in Ohio looked exactly the same to Brad. You could be in Toledo or Cincinnati, and it wouldn’t make a lick of difference even if you were at the local library checking out books. As long as ‘Ohio’ was somewhere on your library card or drivers license, you were golden.

At least that’s what Brad imagined. The locals likely didn’t feel the same way.

On the eve of a change in one of many calendars used across the globe, Brad took a minute reflect upon what had yet to happen by asking questions in the present tense.

Did all the oceans in California look the same to people from Ohio? Those from the two bucks an eye state (post inflation), were human beings dealing with a relative relative spendy reality. That part was clear. The rest of it got fuzzy as he didn’t know anyone from Ohio he could ask.

Brad wasn’t sure how many oceans he was looking at in the first place. They all kinda mixed together with few if any official boundaries. To call the water in front of him by one name took it from Will Rogers in Cali all the way to Bondi in Australia, but it was hardly the same water. The whole thing read as a gross over generalization as everything Pacific.

Each day it was less and less surprising to Brad that more than 90% of the sea floor failed to be mapped. We as a species held not a clue as to what was down there yet some of us were already taking tours of outer space which was technically nothing itself. Was that not why we called it space?

Whatever.

Brad didn’t want to put too much into space tourism or an overrated holiday like NYE, or even Christmas for that matter…

Brad stopped himself there. If he took that thought any further he could start getting answers. That could take him into resolution territory where he resolved to not go yet already was.

The annual practice never played out well for Brad despite being out himself. While others made money Brad beat himself up. By the President’s Day circuit party he was always in a downward spiral. If Brad ever OD’d it would likely be there smack dab in the depths of the Southern California rainy season swallowed whole by the first round of judgement preliminaries for White Party in Palm Springs.

Seeing where he was, Brad pulled himself off the bitter party of one path to that of personal responsibility. No one besides himself stuck around any NYE resolution to ensure he followed through. It may be paid for but did it matter where the money came from? While the commitment was squarely his, it often turned out the enthusiasm was not.

Brad paused to fix the back of his swimmers. They began riding his youthful 22 year old butt muscles while doing all this thinking. Did he really workout every day just so his clothes could malfunction?

Maybe. He could def take the notion somewhere sexy. Too bad there wasn’t a pen and paper around. Was this why people wrote their name in the sand? That whole notion read downright silly standing so close to the world’s biggest eraser.

When all was said and done, the greatest part about having a perky butt wasn’t sex or attention. It was having a place to set things down where no pockets were available. Brad always offered the space to others where he could think enough to do so. Ironically, the last thing he wanted to be was an ass.

The notion spurred another thought. Brad would ask Chris to look for a date on his butt when he came back from the concession stand with lunch. All this male beauty comes with a shelf life apparently so his boyfriend should probably know when to stop eating it. To that, and out of respect for himself, he should probably check Chris’ butt too. Brad needed some action and the whole notion just brought forth was good enough to jumpstart a very fun afternoon.

These things only needed to be paper thin with two men in the equation. An impromptu hamster inspection of the men’s locker room at the local gay watering hole instigated a wild three way with Brad and Chris’s neighbor Luke just a few hours earlier. Unsurprisingly, not a single hamster turned up at the gym, but the whole debacle did put a new spin on wood shavings.

A rouge wave reached high enough to grab Brad’s attention and bring him back to the present tense. Brad looked at his phone but he didn’t have any gauge as to when he and his thinking drifted off. Well, at least he came around this time with his swimmers still on. He lost two pair just in the last 24 hours.

Now where was Chris with the food? Brad was craving curly fries and a big fat dill pickle.

What has replaced parabens and is this replacement harmful or not as well-studied as parabens? Are they as effective at preventing microbial growth and extending the shelf life of products?

In recent years, many companies have moved away from using parabens in their products and have turned to alternative preservatives. Some common alternatives to parabens include phenoxyethanol, benzyl alcohol, potassium sorbate, sodium benzoate, and ethylhexylglycerin, among others.

Like parabens, these alternative preservatives are intended to prevent microbial growth and extend the shelf life of cosmetics and personal care products. However, like all chemicals, they have the potential to cause skin irritation or allergic reactions in some individuals, and there may be some concern about their safety over the long term.

Phenoxyethanol, for example, has been the subject of some controversy due to concerns about its potential toxicity and its potential to cause skin irritation. Similarly, benzyl alcohol has been associated with allergic reactions in some people.

At present, there is not enough research to determine the long-term safety of these alternative preservatives. However, regulatory agencies such as the US FDA and the European Union's SCCS have evaluated these ingredients and deemed them safe for use at the concentrations typically used in cosmetics and personal care products.

Ultimately, the choice of preservative is up to individual companies and consumers, who may choose to avoid certain ingredients for personal or environmental reasons. However, it is important to note that preservatives are a necessary component of many cosmetic and personal care products, as they help to prevent microbial growth and ensure product safety and efficacy.

The other day, out of sheer morbid curiosity I fire up the YouTube for a little nu-metal catharsis with the new-ish Limp Bizkit album from 2021. They hit that first guitar chug on the opening track “Out of Style” and, God damn it, it’s 1999 again, gimme my backwards hat and my parents’ rusted out Ford Escort, lets f’n gooooo!

“Dirty Rotten Bizkit” hits and it’s like... You know, hate on this band, hate on nu metal, like, the embarrassing masculine performance of it all, but this was part of my--*our* collective history. You’re kidding yourself if you didn’t hear Nookie and nod your head, or try to scat-growl with Jonathan Davis, scream with Chester Bennington, or shout the opening lyrics of Last Resort.

Apparently nu metal is having a resurgence among the weren’t-there Gen Z nostalgics, and if this is true, you know, I’m kind of here for it. As YouTube Essayist F.D. Signifier lamented on his stream a while back, it’s been a long time since we’ve had this crazy ass metal psychology in the mainstream zeitgeist. Think of all the memes we’ve missed out on! And a friend and I talked about how the best metal now is the Doom: Eternal soundtrack and the Guilty Gear Strive soundtrack.

“Dad Vibes” is practically a perfect song for geriatric millenial dads: Embarrassing but strangely self-aware. Wait, is the 20 year evolution of Limp Bizkit resulted in self-awareness? Well, yeah. These songs communicate that Durst and Co knows who they are, what their legacy is, and isn’t afraid to take tongue-in-cheek shots at themselves, act like fools, but are still *kinda* cool if you squint and look sideways? Because “everybody needs some hard core fucked up bang your head shit.” Durst’s raps are beyond embarrassing, but has Limp Bizkit gone into the so-bad-it’s-good territory?

The second half drops and... What’s up with all the ballads? What’s up with the actual-factual grunge song? Wait, is that a *political* song about the pharmaceutical industry? What is going on here?

The closing ballad “Goodbye” is infuriatingly catchy. It’s like cotton candy, there’s nothing to it, but why has the hook been mental gut-rot in my head for a week?

Is Limp Bizkit Still Sucks a good album? Not particularly, but it is very interesting, and more than a little fun. It’s ironic that my first Shelf Life write-up is about an album that does not have a physical version to put on a shelf, so here we are: I don’t think I’d want to put Limp Bizkit Still Sucks on my shelf. But you know what after 3 listens, I’m kinda wondering about that... la di da.

My mistake,

Thought this year would bring something different.

And I'm the same old story,

Haunted memories.

All the way (all the way),

All the way from the warmth of your hands.

You wouldn't even let me hold them.

Another one, so over them.

Kill me twice, finalize my shelf life.

Now you're alone, do you feel any better?

Left to commence, and a heavy head.

(Leave me!)

The brightest of wizards I bit her and love came on gushing out!

(Leave me!)

Guzzled some lizards my skin turned to scale felt it wrap around!

(Leave me!)

Payments get vicious account gettin' roasted and flayed!

(Leave me!)

I started a party, and partied, and partied, and flew away!

Please don't feel like I'm attacking you.

I did some things too, and pushed you away.

It needs to, the feelings of the past will surely fade through.

To live another day.

Look like I was someone I could barely recognize.

Hope it's not too late to scatter this disguise.

My mistake,

Thought this year would bring something different.

And I'm the same old story,

Haunted memories.
