Sometimes, better than nothing is as good as it gets.

I feel like I'm running out of time. I don't feel that I'm going to die sooner rather than later. I just know if I don't do something, all of a sudden I'll be laying in a hospital bed in my living room waiting. A slave to Death.

Happy New Year. Now, get over yourselves and instead, make the world a better place because YOU were here!

"Let's pledge to do fucking anything -- add any skill, any improvement to your human tool set, and get good enough at it to impress people. Don't ask me what -- hell, pick something at random if you don't know. Take a class in karate, or ballroom dancing, or pottery. Learn to bake. Build a birdhouse. Learn massage. Learn a programming language. Film a porno. Adopt a superhero persona and fight crime. Start a YouTube vlog. But the key is, I don't want you to focus on something great that you're going to make happen to you ("I'm going to find a girlfriend, I'm going to make lots of money ..."). I want you to purely focus on giving yourself a skill that would make you ever so slightly more interesting and valuable to other people."

I bought linen sheets. They came in the mail today. I was reading the care label on them, and it says to wash them inside out. They're sheets. I can turn the pillowcases inside out, and one could make an argument that I could wash the fitted sheet inside out, but once it's in the washer it kind of just goes back and forth. I'm really hoping I don't screw this up.

Me: (Getting up early, and walking to my car to go to a chiropractor appointment)

My Intuition: Hey remember that one time when you made a chiropractor appointment, but it was for a different weekend?

Me: Yeah, haha.

My Intuition: . . .

Me: (After driving 10 minutes, and within 4 blocks of the chiropractor office) Wait. Why did you bring that up? Did I make an appointment for a different weekend again?

My Intuition: . . .

Me: Well, I don't think I did maybe I should check my email.

My Intuition: Nah, that's too much work. It will be quicker to drive the rest of the way and find out.

Me: Yeah, I guess I'll find out, Haha!

My Intuition: Yes you will

Me: (walking up and pulling on the locked door) Shit!

Also. . .

Me: (leaving the house)

My Intuition: You're forgetting something.

Me: What am I forgetting?

My Intuition: I ain't tellin'!

I made eye contact with a homeless woman on a street corner, then turned on my air condition seat.

To be fair, I was going to turn it on before I looked at her.

I wonder how much water we would save if we didn't have to let the water run to get to the hot water? And, how much energy we would save if we didn't have to stop and start so much while driving?

So, in the 7 whole days since student loan interest started accruing again, my loan has racked up $40.23. And, someone please tell me why it was a good idea to have interest start a whole ass month before payments???

I bought a few pairs of new shorts for work the other day. And while I'm standing in line at the coffee shop this morning, I discovered that they have two cell phone pockets and I don't think I've been this giddy since the last time I realized I had a box of cereal that I forgot about.

Why, and I mean this sincerely, why did the student loan interest accumulation get turned on a whole-ass month before payments start back up? Seems counter to what the whole student loan discussion has been about this entire time. I mean, maybe I'm missing something, I don't know something. Maybe there's a legit reason. But it seems like that thing where you ask someone to tell you that they don't get the student loan argument without telling you they don't get the student loan argument.

I was talking to this woman from Mexico who now lives in the States. I asked her if she liked living here, she said that she did but didn't feel as free as she did in Mexico. Intrigued, I asked her what she meant. She said, "In Mexico as long as no one has a problem, you can do what you want. Here there are so many little rules."

I think about that a lot.

"Jared Polis is an American politician, entrepreneur, businessman, and philanthropist serving as the 43rd governor of Colorado since 2019."

From Wikipedia

I had no idea we had that many Governors in the last 4 years. I don't remember voting that much. I know the pandemic took a toll but c'mon!

I just watched Guardians of the Galaxy III and I'm feeling some sort of way. I think I feel gratitude. I am grateful the Guardians of the Galaxy movies exist. They make being alive worth it!

"Shit, or get off the pot." I know what it means. But the reality is that after I shit, I get off the pot. So, I end up doing both.
