Random Thoughts On A Thorsday

I suppose I should begin with a few observations from yesterday...

It didn't matter whether I was in a blue or a red 'hood. Everyone on the road drove like an aggressive asshole. It was both remarkable and scary at the same time. Our freeways are notorious for road rage incidents, and when I drove Miku at 70 mph yesterday I thought we were going to get run over. That feeling never went away when I upped it to 75. Ara ara!

Everything seemed normal at the boot store. I picked up two pairs, and I already have my eye on a Winter pair in case I follow through with my wish to take Artoria up to the mountains. We have some lovely places to visit for a day trip or an overnight stay.

I also wouldn't mind owning a pair of cowboy boots once I lose more weight. I once did the Boot Scootin' Boogie in my early twenties cosplaying as Billy Ray Cyrus with diamond stud earrings while everyone else in the club was a Garth Brooks clone. 

My regular dance partners back then  were a pair of tall blondes, and yes I'm going to write about them in my book. I have a fun story that involves how they helped me end my beer league hockey days. I might even post it on the blog.

The mood at the comics shop wasn't somber, and the collective was to let everything burn to the ground. I don't blame them one bit, and I'll harp on this observation just as hard as I lecture men my age and younger to step up their cardio for... um, reasons: Democrats lost because they abandoned the working class for a voter block that will never change sides. 

Watching the DNC play themselves is like a man or a woman ditching their perfectly fine partner for an unattainable Chad or Stacy. I hate using incel vernacular, but it perfectly describes this biennial embarrassment.

I didn't get a good night's sleep last night and it's because I was reminded of my brother's ongoing health issues. With every passing day, I'm getting that morose feeling that I really didn't save his life when I called 911 nearly six months ago. I won't say specifically what happened, so I'll leave y'all with this warning to scare the shit out of you.

If you're not feeling okay, please don't hesitate to seek professional mental help ASAP. Don't ever suffer in silence or worse yet take the easy way out. Ever. If you try and fail at it, you may end up a lot worse off than you were before and without any hope of improving.
