Wild fire anxiety is a whole new level of anxiety.

I used to fear the cold but this heat got me pretty freaked out here lately.

So this is the firey summer of hell I was told was going to happen when I grew up. I just wish it happened when I was more grown up, or like - not at all because this is more than nerve racking.

Which was more embarrassing than anything.
I took it apart to see my solder wasn't really doing much and I have yet to make an attempt to solder it back.

I soldered a new pick up into a tele a few years back and thought it was alright. I typically have some kind of dirt pedal turned on and I never noticed there was pretty significant hum coming through. I noticed when someone interested in trading plugged it into a clean channel and backed away.

I am HORRIBLE at soldering myself.

Spent two hours doing sweet fuck all when I could've been at Home Depot picking out a new hedge trimmer

Yes, I am pretty drunk in Pet Smart.

The Left: We should try to design city infrastructure closer together so all necessities are accessible within a 15 walk.

The Right: So they wanna build walls and keep you enclosed so you can't leave your area and they call it the 15 minute city and it's part of the secret UN Agenda for 2030.

I've never said this before because I live in Newfoundland and have never had to say it before - but we really need some rain.

The "classics" station just said "back to the summer of 08" and I yelled for the entire length of the song that followed.

Certain places road maintenance is considered "job security" so it's being done half assed by contractors going after contracts paid by tax payers with the intentions of being re-hired to repair/fix/maintain in a few years.

People make careers out of the same stretch of highway this way.

Anyone notice Doom - Doom II is free on Switch right now? Good one to have poked away.

By "Hometown Boy" I really mean "Smalltown Boy"

My neighbor is blaring quite the version of "Hometown Boy" and it's a struggle now to let sing along loudly at the highest pitch I'm capable of.

I'm really mad at myself for leaving my bluetooth speaker on a jobsite.

People replace the social aspect/going out to meet with friends for drinks at a bar with staying in, drinking at home and hanging out in a discord chat.
Instead of "lets me up for a drink" it's become "grab yourself a drink and hop in the discord!"

I think this is where I became "old fashioned."

My beard is rapidly turning into this grey/white blend and making me look 20 years older than I am. But if I were to shave it, I'd just look stupid. It's a real catch 22.

You're right though.

I hate the "pendulum swing" with society.
Just before Covid there was a huge push for supporting one another and understanding mental health struggle with a real "it's cool to care!" message attached.

2025 you're encouraged to be a selfish asshole and "only look out for yourself".

It's bullshit.

What if Wednesday was like a mid-week mini weekend when we start trying out 4 Day Work Weeks?

I saw Slayer in 2019 yet somehow Gwen Stefani last night seemed to be 10x louder.

I'll confidently stand on my chair with my hand raised to shout "oh oh oh, this IS the one I really like!"
Second favorite to Alligator, or maybe Boxer?
Second or third favorite album of theirs. One or the other.

I don't normally twerk my ass off to Hollaback Girl but that Gwen Stefani concert brought a lot of emotions out of me.

The Heavy Metal Festival is in town but I'm spending my time and money at Gwen Stefani and The Killers.
Young me is ready to beat my ass and call me a poser.
Old me thinks he can handle young me.
Future me has an existential crisis in the near future.

Surprised to say it but Happy Gilmore 2 was a pretty good movie.

Just had my annual bottle of blue mountain dew

I don't know why they didn't call them frosted flake pops. Instead they named them frosted flake glazed donut holes.

I don't like how often the trex bot beats me at chess. Like, I'm more or less ashamed about it.

HOW BOUT DEM JAYS HUH
