Am I the only one who gets emotional looking at younger photos of our kids who are now teenagers. All the cliches apply here about the nature of childhood etc

I’ll never afford a cottage, but if I ever did have one, I’d have signs in large print down by the water that’s say things like:
“nothing to see here, keep paddling”
“why are you staring at us”
You know, really bring the community energy to the non primary residence.

Once of my great life regrets is not skateboarding way more when I had functioning knees.

If nothing else, Taylor Swift has me referring to other groups various periods of work as “ERAS”.
Like today, I wrote how I love hearing that RUSH is back, but the first song that came to mind is New World Man from their lesser appreciated “Signals” era.
the word rush is written in red letters on a white background

I love when fucking idiots I grew up with talk shit about Greta, like they have a clue of what dedicating yourself to something at this level is about.
I mean, happy Thursday

I’m not quitting music ever, but I do have an upcoming job interview to possibly help diversify my life slightly.

I feel like we are living in a time void of critical music reviews. Where has the 1.5 star review gone and simple statements like “nothing exciting creatively here unless you like things that have already been made”.
Hehehe
Sunday musings for those couching it through their day.

My accumulated personal debt is likely higher than the average CFL salary and if this, I am not proud.

Our lives run in mild contradiction to the world around us out here in the suburbs
We own a 900sq foot house & can’t afford the lives we live as it is let alone trying to hang in with the world out this way.
That’s the Tuesday report
