Running With Dragonballs

Taking a much needed Saturday in, so watching Kevin Smith The 4:30 Movie, since it's streaming on Pluto.

Seems pretty solid so far.

I appreciate it and I didn't take offense.

It's one of the reasons why it's hard to talk about, bc most assume I'm not doing X thing and offer advice I heard often or have already done over and over.

Though I know it comes from a good place.

Lol, I actually do all those things.

I'm probably more social than most, have a bigger group of friends than most people, and have plenty of active hobbies.

Meeting new people is not the issue.

Trust me, I done everything one would suggest/advice.

Been single for almost my entire life, and I made peace with it. I rather think about everything I do have (and lucky to do so) than dwell on that one thing.
That said I went to a wedding over the weekend and it hit me hard how much I still want that feeling and realistically I'll never have it.

One of my favorite pictures of me in a while.

Gives both "promo shot for a debuting late night show" and "cool principal at photo day" vibes.

Over the weekend I went out and became an ultra marathoner.

First 50k, under 5 hours and good enough to take 2nd place.

The heat was killer but the people were amazing. Every runner from 10k to 100k was grinding and encouraging and the volunteers kept pushing us.

Amazing experience.

But it also shows how it's important to step out of your comfort zone, to make connections and friends, and enjoy life outside. And that you're never too old to start doing this.

There's stuff that doesn't hold up but for a 2000 era movie it's less than expected.

Also still very funny and sweet

Rewatched 40 Year Old Virgin.

I think it's even more relevant now?

The three friends all have toxic masculinity traits and are not happy, and it ends up being Andy, someone that is kind, respectful and thoughtful that has the best relationship and teaches them that.

I don't know if I'm the first one to think it, but Netflix should get Tango studios to make a #kpopdemonhunters game.

Hi-Fi Rush already shows they can do a game mixing music and action, so it's a perfect fit.

Scary moment last night, got a call from a friend telling me they were having a mental health struggle and were afraid of hurting themselves. Needed company.

Drove down and spent time with them. They thankfully seemed to do , we talked a lot.

YouTube video by Wyrm the Eagle (CotC SPOILERS) Elder Mark gets a wakeup call

Remember when Craig of the Creek did an end of Evangelion riff?

What an amazing show this was.

The story that Dan told on this week's Bombcast about his dad (who they just had on the Dump truck last week!) paints him like such a horrible person that I'm amazed they thought it was a good idea to leave it in

Been rewatching Cougar Town and it's genuinely underrated but man, Travis and Laurie ending together feels all sorts of wronh still.

Thursday night run.

Weather was almost 90s so I dialed it back and just listed to an audio book.

Anxious People is one of my favorite books but My Friends may top it.

I was tearing up already in the first chapters.

End of an era.

Been lurking/posting on the PA forums since the 2000s till now, long after I even stopped checking the strip.

It was a bastion of civility when compared to other forums of the era. A lot of my progressive evolution is because of stuff that would get discussed there.

I appreciate you calling The Miz one of the greatest pro wrestlers.

Completely agree of how underrated he is!

Ultimates continues to be so fucking good.

I'm not perfect but I like to think I always been pretty accepting and inclusive.

I think it's bc I been the outcast and the bullied, so it formed empathy and not wanting others to feel that way.

Maybe we should teach bullying more. Just gotta tread the needle so they don't become chuds/incels.

I guarantee that people will use the new no tax on tips to justify even shittier tipping.

Watching Tropic Thunder for this time since it came out and it's kinda wild how the opening fake movie looks better than most movies out today.

Been struggling with sleep anxiety for a few days now and it's the worst.

I had issues with loud neighbors keeping me up now anytime I lay In bed I get anxious whether it'll be a sleepless night.

Trying some meditation app/sleep techniqued before I go to the doctor for it.

The biggest downside to being someone that tries to include everyone is that when you're excluded it hits even more.

Had a great morning that was brought down by seeing I had been excluded from friends outdoor gathering.

Listening to Nextlander going over their thoughts on the Giant Bomb situation.

It's basically an hour reminder that corporations suck and grind everyone and everything down to just get another penny.

I saw I had almost 200 credit from Amazon on my CC. I was confused bc I hadn't ordered anything but she looking into it, turns out it was a refund from a previous order.

From Feb 2023!

I just assumed I had gotten it/forgotten about it..

For a second I was wondering if my podcast app was not working because I didn't see a new Bomb cast.

Then I remembered everything.

“I asked ChatGPT,” well I asked your mom and she said you’ve always been a disappointment

Oh man, a show hasn't made me laugh and smile like this in a while.

Trying to spread out the episodes rather than binge them but also need to get through them before I cancel my sub.

I wonder if GTVI is the one game that just skips Series S.

I dunno how they get that running on it.

Hell, I'm wondering how the PS5 will handle it.

I think the WWE vs AEW fighting between fans is one of the dumbest things in the world.

Like a bunch of options are good!

Specially like times when a bunch of wrestlers just got let go from one company

I feel like you often hear how hard it is to be an introvert but rarely hear that being an extrovert can be a bummer too.

Like today, hanging out with friends and I wanted to keep the party going but everyone was pretty much done.
