I just want a place to deposit my brain droppings and enjoy other kind-minded people.
Wish I knew why Apple Music’s shuffle function is absolute shit?
I have a 10 hour long playlist comprised of 156 songs and every time I put it on it is the same random order. It is designed to be played on random/shuffle so it is different every time.
BUT IS ALWAYS NEARLY THE SAME!

I respectfully dropped a Michael Stanley Band song in a meme I reshared on instamagram and now I am just listening to the album. Funny how that works sometimes.

That Chase commercial about the guy whose dream of renovating his kitchen is the only thing perpetuating his will to live makes me happy I chose to follow myself.
Every day I wake up happy even though the world often makes me sad.

Dang. I really should try harder. Today I made some decently good money doing what I love and I didn’t curate my wares until last evening or even have them priced till the beginning of the vintage flea.
Notes for next year to improve upon, I suppose.

As a whole, that might have been my favorite episode of SNL that I have ever stayed up for.

Were I to make a playlist called “Songs That Made Me a Bum in The Eyes of Society” all the songs would be based around the joys of freedom.
Now I understand why “they” deem critical thinking and rock ‘n’ roll as threats to the figurative “machine”.

It is frustrating when you are talking to someone in person or through text and you think to yourself “She sounds like realtime AI.”
Strange days indeed.

Keep pushing people out, little by little.
Do it.
Keep alienating people.
Do it.
We are all so dumb.
Just do it.
See what it gets you.
Money can’t buy decency.
But fear can.
Just remember that, “they”.

Seems like we often immediately pick up our phones after having a feeling of disconnection from another human being, close or not. Feeling spurned yet still.
Then immediately turning to a device that is now actively designed to further disconnect you from humanity even more for solace.

You can start a cult without starting a cult just by being good, and absolutely true to yourself.
Leading by unique example is the most powerful yet quiet way to convey your light. Whatever that truth may be.
We all have worth and something to offer one another.
I believe in everything.

I say MERRY CHRISTMAS.
I say it at the mall.
I say it to strangers.
I say it while walking along with my
d!ck out, that I paint grey and tape little elephant ears and eyeballs to.
And then I run up to people and try to put my fingers in their mouth.
AND I WONT APOLOGIZE.

My lifelong obsession with sounds/vibrations continually makes more sense the older I get and the more I learn.
While I wasn’t looking for answers to such questions, knowing more feels validating at the very least.

I have ad-libbed some truly tasteless alternate lyrics for “Holiday Road” during my life but the chorus is so fun to sing.

We all live life but that we get to participate in it in our own unique ways is neat.
Nobody should be forced into a homogenized existence just because the median finds it acceptable.
Exactly as I am is how I can best serve myself and society.

This will be my last meaningful Wrapped as I begrudgingly switched over to Apple Music back in October.
