It’s hard to use Daylight Savings Time as excuse now that we have social media and auto-updating phones. It used to be you could use the time switch as a valid reason for running late. Not anymore. Thanks Internet.

Audio (MP3): 20180310 - Reassuring our fellow humans

The scene is a parking lot. An elderly woman is walking up ahead of me as I’m driving. She looks fragile, defenseless, and unsure.

She sees my truck and a look of terror comes across her face. While it’s not a monster my Dakota is still 4000 pounds of machine.

I slow way down as I go around her. I wave and give her friendly smile. She looks relieved and waves back.

She’s still smiling in my rearview mirror as I go around a corner and loose sight of her.

Reassuring our fellow humans, even strangers, is one of the best things ever. And it costs nothing.

Audio (MP3): 20180309 - Something Just Like This by The Chainsmokers and Coldplay

Peeps, here’s your batman-with-his-fists Friday jam. I know I’ve said this before but I absolutely hated songs like this in another life. Jams like this would come on when I was a teenager or in my 20s and I’d turn that shit off.

I was pretty dumb and pretty snotty when it came to music. But I guess more than that I’d never felt the magic with another person they were singing in their ballads. My gut reaction was then to always condemn their melodies. Fuck them guys like Coldplay.

And then after my first divorce I learned that being alone was my choice. It wasn’t fate or destiny. It was my shitty attitude.

So in the here-and-now I know what they’re talking about. I’ve felt something “just like this” and it changed everything.

If you never have felt a love song then don’t worry. That feeling’s out there. It may be just around the corner. A person you may or may not know is waiting, is looking for you, too.

But first don’t be an all around jerk. Throw away your bullshit and open yourself up to nonfictional fairy tales. There’s a love song with your name on it. Somebody’s holding out for a magical adventure. Just with you.

Make sure you’re ready for them.

And then hold their hand when you run away together.

My parole officer won’t let me leave the state.

Happy hump day, peeps! May your grass be golden, your skies be blue, and patriotism be true. 🇺🇸

Before you anarchists internally scowl remember there’s a difference between devotion to your country and devotion to your government. I, for one, do not welcome our new corporate overlords.

Peeps, here’s Thurston Moore live on KEXP back in 2014. Settle in for 32+ minutes of guitar and gab. I’ve always enjoyed how Thurston just beats the shit out of his guitar.

I really do have this trust in muse…and that’s sorta proved to me through the years to be the best thing is to really let inspiration sorta define your decisions.

When I try to force creativity it just comes out as bullshit. Some days I don’t have anything to say so I don’t say anything.

However, when anybody says, “I don’t own a television set” I wanna roll my eyes. It almost feels like a backhanded slap of judgement. Good for you that you don’t own a TV.

However × 2, Cease Fire is quite good:
