This was a text from a friend. He shared this after reading my story about the FBI arresting my girlfriend.

For those of us who watched the movie Final Destination, it makes me wonder if this wasn't one of those moments.

And once we let go of the pain, we will not allow what we've lost back into our lives.

Her: I'd love to get together with you sometime.
Me: Have you read any of my stories?
Her: No. Should I?
Me: I write honestly about my life, so read them, and if you still want to go out, I'm game.
Her: Okay.

That was a month ago today, and I've not heard one peep from her. 🀣🀣🀣

And this is why I will never again... NEVER again watch one single second of ANY @cbsnews.com or show, movie or @cbssports.bsky.social again.

This only works for awhile. If you have to do it for years and years (divorced with kids) it is exhausting and will crush your soul.

I've been to all but 5 countries but where I really, really, really want to go is Ushuaia but I fear I may not return if I do.

Maybe if his wife became a REAL Christian, she'd demand the release of the full, unredacted Epstein files because @jd-vance-1.bsky.social is obviously very comfortable covering for pedophiles.

Her mom walked in and I yelled, β€œTWO!”
Mom looks confused and I said, β€œI’m a music agent!”
Mom (a college professor) inquired, β€œCounting Crowes?”
I laughed and said β€œYes!!”
Mom said, β€œWe’re very close to a murder!”

If you get this humor, you are my people!

Yesterday at a Halloween event, I saw one of my young friends who has the last name Crowe. I saw her and yelled, β€œONE!”
Everyone was confused!
I said: I came as a music agent!
Everyone was confused! [1/2]

Been a busy month... just got back home to maintenance and security tearing the neighbor's door down... apparently she superglued the lock on her apartment and another neighbor's (who stole her man!) before turning in her keys. They mentioned an arrest warrant for "destruction of property." #drama

Mike Johnson, in his every breath, shows just what a good Christian he is and how devoted to upholding the constitution he truly is. /sarcasm

The FBI Arrested My Girlfriend I dated her and grew suspicious, and then the FBI got involved.

I've mentioned this several times in passing, and people have asked for the story, so here it is! BTW, this was my last date... February 4th, 2015.

Charlie Kirk has been shot and killed. (*cough* Thoughts and prayers *cough*)
Here's the question, was it another MAGA or a gay lover? (I'm betting on a gay lover.)

Watching Star Wars 4 and the scene where Emperor Palpatine (Darth Sidious) tells Luke, "Strike down your father and your journey to the dark side will be complete," and I immediately thought of my ex and her kids. 🀣🀣🀣

What Authors Need to Know About the $1.5 Billion Anthropic SettlementΒ  - The Authors Guild Today, Anthropic agreed to pay $1.5 billion to settle claims that it downloaded pirated books to train its AI systemsβ€”the largest U.S. copyright settlement in history. The parties in Bartz v Anthropic...

So, if you're a self-published author with legitimate ISBNs BUT have NOT registered your works with the copyright office then Anthropic and other AI platforms can use your works without paying you!

That's the gist...
