No, I didn’t get a big check at my doorstep a la Publishers Clearing House. But hey, a band is a band. 🤑
Switch was such a fun experience. And now only 228 days until ya’ boy can get back to wrecking shop on the game show circuit. 😏
Happy 28th Wheel-a-versary to ya' boy.
Why yes, I knew what this was before I chose my 3 consonants and a vowel. In hindsight, I should've gone w/ Z, 4, Q, and the Batman symbol to mess with everyone.
(Side note: Maybe I should use this thing again.)
Three takeaways:
a) This is like Live PD on crack.
2) With a year and change to clean this up, this is gonna' look even BETTER, which is saying something.
iii) They better have one radio station dedicated to Latin freestyle and another dedicated to Miami Booty Bass. OR ELSE.
Tonight’s spread.
One day I’mma feel dangerous and give out Haw Flakes. (My Asian peeps know what’s up w/ them.)
Andrew Yang wasn’t wrong when he said “Politics is just show business for ugly people.”
Are most of those songs in your GP cheese? Sure. But lactose-intolerant folks aside, WHO THE FUCK DOESN'T LOVE CHEESE?! Literally -and- metaphorically.
Real talk: Revealing your Guilty Pleasures music playlist is adjacent to posting an Instagram thirst trap insomuch that both only serve to fish for affirmations from others―the former being that those songs you're ashamed about liking aren't actually all that bad.
Watching the Apple keynote. Good thing I’m not wearing pants because LAWD that iPhone 15 Pro Max. 🥵
I’m lowkey embarrassed about how much I legit wanna check this out. I’m a sucker for deep dives on Brit’s ouevre. *heh*
Also, the Pop Pantheon podcast is terrific and any of y’all who are pop music junkies should totes give it a whirl.
Just took codeine for this nasty cough I’ve been dealing with all week. Had to chase it with Gatorade.
I hafta ask: How tf do cats in the South drink that stuff w/ Sprite for recreational purposes?! 🥴
I wish I had this superpower for real life.
Just got out of a focus group where they strapped a weird-ass swim caps w/ nodes on me to track neural activity and glasses that constantly flashed bright white lights to track retinal activity.
P sure my brain is mush and I’ve been brainwashed to assassinate a pop star. Don’t report me. 🤫
🎶 “SoCal is where my mind states…” 🎶
I neither hate nor love “Old Town Road”. (It comes off as Kid Rock’s “Cowboy” for Gen Z, but that’s a tangential discussion.)
And I’ve never listened to “Last Night” until just now. Woof. 😒
Its lone saving grace is that it’s < 2:45. Even then…
Powered through a 8.5 hour drive from LV with just one break to fill-up.
Shout out to the Pop Pantheon podcast for giving me 7 hours total of fascinating deep dives into the oeuvres of Katy Perry, Spice Girls, and Paula Abdul.
I’m not like a regular hetero guy. I’m a cool one. *hah*
At a Wheel of Fortune contestant alumni reunion thingamabob this weekend. It’s so wild to hear people come up to me and be like, “You’re Mel Baltazar! From 1996, right?”
Like dawg, what am I, a Playboy Playmate? 😂
I have NFI about the difference between Corona and Corona Premier, but I just had the latter at a local sports bar and I feel like I should be WinnieThePoohTuxedo.png.
Had a blast catching up w/ Jason Enos tonight. (Y’all DDR heads should remember him as the Product Mgr. of that series out here.)
Aside from the reminiscing, my big takeaway from our convo was “Dark Black Forest” (Part Two) exists. And the world deserves to hear it. 🎧
Oh wow, that actually makes perfect sense. I, too, listen to music/podcasts while trying to get tasks (mundane or otherwise) done. Not sure if it’s analogous, but I reckon it’s worth noting.
Gave the new Carly Rae Jepsen album a spin just now.
It’s a cornucopia of different pop flavors (especially in the first half) and that’s not a bad thing at all. She pulls it off rather seamlessly.
Chalk up another W for the pop princess. 🙌🏽
Thanks mang.
I’m still trying to wrap my head around the concept of how an amphetamine like Adderall -helps- a brain that already races at light speed. Not that I’m anywhere near medication stage or anything, just kinda spitballing possible scenarios and stuff.
Talked to a therapist today. (Achievement unlocked?)
The suspicions I’ve had about myself having adult ADHD aren’t totally baseless. After an initial screening, I checked enough boxes to proceed w/ more testing. 😬
Kinda scary but at the same time, getting closure on this would be kinda nice.
Who’s got two thumbs, drank half a can of Monster, and then five minutes later took a 30-minute nap? ☠️
I may need to start mainlining cathinone at this juncture.
Oh no. 😕
Hoping this is just an outlier and not a recurring theme. 🤞🏽
My phone autocorrects “girl” to “gurl”.
Not exactly sure what that says about me, but I’m lowkey impressed that iOS gets me.
Relatable. Also, this is damn near how I became well-rounded with my musical knowledge in my formative years.
Currently reading “Stay True” by Hua Hsu. This passage hit me so hard. Like someone put a decoder ring to my formative years and now it all makes so much sense. BRB, need a moment
Speaking of scents, what colognes/fragrances have y’all been rocking lately?
My current go-to has been Atelier Orange Sanguine with a top splash of Maison Francis Kurkdjian Aqua Media Cologne Forte. That orange/citrus note fused with aquatic x Matcha Green Tea is a legit summertime BANGER.
Possibly my goofiest impulse buy of the year so far.
And it smells AMAZING.
Seriously, why blow $365 on a 50 mL bottle of CREED Aventus when you can get a similarly rich pineapple scent for less than 3% of that?
Gimme a hell yeah.
