Audio (MP3): 20180728 - Do you wanna know what will really suck?

It’ll be when you notice that the someone who you’ve spent years of your life with is now gone. You’ve already grieved in the months since they left and now it’s been a few years and then you realize again, for no apparent reason, that they no longer live in the home you once shared.

And you’ll think about all those moments you let slip away when you could’ve held her hand but instead chose to be grumpy because he didn’t do the laundry that one time.

If I never hear Black Hole Sun ever again, my life will be only that much better.

This is exactly how I feel when I hear it:

Today will be your best day ever.

And is it just me or do the uncurled white flowers look like mini ice cream cones?🍦

How cool is that?

Peeps, this is an augmented reality photo taken from my side yard, facing south.

If you look for the brightest star just bottom left of the moon then what you’ll really find is Mars.

The app I’m using is Sky Guide for iOS. You’ll love it.

The goal of brushing my teeth isn’t to get my teeth brushed.

It’s to brush my teeth.

“We want to know what you think” is the subject line for this here email.

Yet the From address is donotreply@photo.walgrees.com.

And then the Reply-to address is donotreply@mail.walgrees.com.

You’d think that if they really did want to know what people think, they’d allow us peons to reply to their incoming, unsolicited emails.

Maggie and I are seeing YouTube sensations, Dan and Phil, at the Rosemont tonight. Security was making people put their phones down so as to enforce the “no photography” rule but I took a couple of pictures of their sound boards anyway.

Also, I think I may be too old to follow YouTube personalities. Dan was born in 1991. One year after I graduated from high school. Phil was born in 1987. I was only 15 at the time but still.

Wherein fate is for people who have given up, part 3 of 3.

I’m going to jump right in because this story is already long enough in my head. And it’s taken far too long to write. I’ve grown weary of fate and all that it doesn’t have to offer. I’m ready for closure.

So there’s this lady I kinda work with, helping with a project of hers. I get the feeling she got a few dysfunctional nuances about her. Most likely some anger management issues stoked by a little low self-esteem.

My heart goes out to her every now and then, when I see her socially wobbling. My own self-esteem has been a struggle for more of my life than I’d like to admit. So sometimes I want to give her a shoulder to lean on until she can find her balance. Watching people wrestle with and within themselves is heartbreaking.

For all the attendees that opt out of emails, they won’t receive any of the emails moving forward correct?

As I’ve said 6000 times before, correct. I didn’t build you a system that would blatantly ignore the fundamental principle of unsubscribing from an email list.

But maybe I should have. So that way when you ask me this question I could say, “Oh, they’ll still get the fucking emails whether they like it or not.”
