The Knicks gave the game away. Then the Spurs handed it back.

Celebrities used to be super famous. Everyone knew who Johnny Carson and Jim Brown were. Nowadays 99% of celebrities are people that nobody ever heard of and know nothing about. And it’s probably 99.9%.

Thus far I’ve managed to keep to my New Year’s Resolution of only playing one game of Sudoku per day. However, lately I’ve been playing it like Jenga, trying to put off the cascading autofill completion for as long as possible. Last year I was playing Sudoku like Frogger, constantly leaping from one available square to another. Next year I’m going to go old school and play with paper and pen.

You get to pick your own classes. I think I picked well. Pretty sure I got something out of every class that I took. Freshman year I took one class that might seem a joke. It was called Chorus Vocals or something like that. My parents thought it was a waste of a class. But I’ve spoken loud and clear ever since. I’m not sure how much of that came from a singing class. But some portion. I took a drawing class and use those skills all the time when preparing visuals for presentations. Not that I draw them. But at least I know what I want them to look like. Then of course I took a ton of math, physics and computers, which were valuable skills back in the 90s. I’m honestly hard pressed to think of a class that didn’t work out. I took three Accounting classes, the basic starter, Accounting for Managerial Decisions and Accounting 2, just to get beyond the mechanics and into the concepts. I took an education class where I taught at a prison. I took a business communications class where I learned a lot that I’m not bothering to use in this post. Dude, if you didn’t get anything out of college that’s on you. If you want to argue that it should be more affordable or that the name of the college shouldn’t matter, fine, I’m with you. But didn’t learn anything? No. Maybe now, if you already learned everything on YouTube. But, back in the day, no.

Wish someone had mentioned this 33 years ago. I would’ve applied to Apple. Instead someone showed me this magazine devoted to Apple products and every page had these snarky comments about how people who used Microsoft were morons. I’ve avoided Apple products ever since, so as not to be on the same side as the bullies. I’ll admit it. I was wrong. I had an emotional rejection of Apple marketing that caused me to ignore a good company for decades.

Once I made a post about this. Thinking that it was an interesting factoid. And I received dozens of seemingly bot comments telling me how stupid, unaccomplished and terrible I am. I don't know if Rick Barry paid for the hate trolls or maybe whatever sneaker company endorses his. But the point is I was not saying a comment meant to be negative. It was just a fact that people could take however they wanted. But since that post I get zero traction on anything I post. Like not only did the Rick Barry defensive trolls attack me on the thread but they did something to turn the X algorithm against me. And, again, my post wasn't anti-Rick Barry. I'm a fan. It was just a factoid. I've made plenty of posts in the past criticizing all sorts of things. The X algorithm didn't shut me down until I posted a neutral Rick Barry fact. So, everyone be very careful when replying to this.

The government doesn’t stop the fraud because they want the money in the economy. The government doesn’t give money away to honest people because that’s communism. The government enforces a system where honest people have to do all of the work and criminals get to spend all of the money. Your tax dollars at work. But Massie and MTG are the traitors. Because Drumphe is a grand master at inter-dimensional chess. And if you dare expose his impotency he’ll rip your arms off like an angry Wookiee.

God is good. We’re all agreed on that. But is there perhaps an evil entity that also has super natural powers? I know there’s worse things in life, but here’s what happens to me. If I’m doing nothing, watching TV for example, nobody bothers me. The super natural evil of the universe is fine with me watching TV. But if I start to clean something, repair something, improve something, build something, create something or do anything else productive all of sudden the super natural evil of the universe starts hitting me with everything in its power to distract me. Now, I’m not a complete loser, so I have managed to be a D1 All American, had a successful career and family, created several graphic novels and produced one movie. So the evil of the universe isn’t mopping up the floor with me. It’s more like a siphoning situation. Like the evil senses me being productive and wants to ride it like a wave. I’m being energetically taxed. Like, I can produce the movie but the evil one is going to extract an equal amount of work out of me but focused on its projects. Or if you just watch sports and drink beer all day the evil one will never lay a hand on you. Apparently those activities are fine by the evil of the universe. No tax on sloth.

@davepl1968 That’s not retirement. That’s focusing on work of your choice. Which is great.

How amazing of a country is America? The goal of 90% of the countries in the world is to destroy America. But year after year, decade after decade, century after century every person that is sent to infiltrate and destroy America keeps ending up just enjoying living in America.

Calling in sick would require claiming to be sick. After about a decade of never using a sick day HR told me that I could use sick days for dentist or optician appointments. I told them interesting concept, but I work from roughly 7am to roughly midnight each day, so 20 minutes in a dental chair isn’t exactly going to require a sick day.

@Thomas1774Paine I’ve been patient. Literally waiting years. But it’s not going to change. Or if it does I won’t be a witness to it. You show up every day and tell your audience how stupid they are. You don’t offer (m)any solutions. Just insults. I’m done. Hope your fans enjoy being insulted.
