Don’t smoke cigarettes is cool if you didn’t grow up in a world where they were handing you cigarettes when you were seven years old.
I quit heroin. Fucking heroin.
Do you know what I can’t quit? Smoking.
I was given my first cigarette when I was five years old. I was smoking a pack a day by the ripe old age of 12.
I was addicted enough that I went out and cut grass entirely to buy cigarettes. My brother and I robbed a delivery truck and took several boxes of camels. I was 13 when we did that.

My wife had me submit my dna to ancestry. I didn’t want to do it, but she was so excited because no don’t know my family at all.
You want to know what my traits said?
“You probably play a musical instrument.”
If my dna can tell people that I play music, what else can it tell?
You’re damn right it’s luck. Almost across the board as far as I’m concerned.

You know, maybe I should start taking vitamins. I might have some memory or energy.

I don’t know what happened to me yesterday. I usually have 2 eggs, a piece of sausage (maybe an extra half a piece depending on how the kids eat), and two pieces of toast. I can go without food the rest of the day on this.
Here lately I’ve cut that down to one egg so I can have dinner with the kids.
Yesterday I was still hungry so I made a grilled cheese sandwich. Then another. Then another. Then one more.
Didn’t even eat this morning.
I’m also underweight a bit.
I guess my body had had enough of too much of not enough.

I really am haha.
I’m glad I’m not in the public spilling my guts to strangers anymore. That until the kids grow up or the wife gets sick of me and leaves me.
I’m sick of me.
Yesterday I got a sewing needle out and lost it, spent two hours panicking and looking for it. Found it where I looked 10 times.
I’m so exhausted.

Oh yeah I play everything. I was a kid with severe adhd, got kicked out of band rather than taught.
I mean, not the end of the world. Some girls liked my music and I was stuck in home economics where Sarah and Sue sat on either side of me and fondled me. God their names sound made up and typical. Looking back, what I was making was so cheesy, I don’t understand how anyone liked it.
As a 13 year old boy, I went from hell to heaven when I got kicked out of band.
I wasn’t heartbroken about it then haha. Sarah broke my heart when an older friend took me to see her and I ended up waiting around at the park while they hung out in a car without me. I probably dodged a bullet, but I cried myself to sleep that night.
I see her around town from time to time. I don’t think she even knows that she broke my heart. :p Doesn’t even have a clue. She thought I was as wild as she was. I guess that’s why it pays to be yourself. Tell that to a teenager though.

My god. As a musician who really wishes someone had been interested enough in my talent as a kid to try to teach me how to actually do it, I envy those people so much.
I had people like Paul McCartney reassuring me, he and other musicians who couldn’t read music.
Now that I’m older, though, I really wish that I could just tune into it all. I’ve tried, but I just don’t fucking know where to start.
I come from a family full of musicians. My grandfather had one grandchild out of 17 grandkids who wasn’t a musician. He never played, bud he was always singing and whistling.
None of us read music.

I have somehow avoided Amazon all these years. It’s easy for me, nothing I require is connected to Amazon.
I’m sure there are aspects of the business that I can’t avoid that I don’t even know I’m being dragged into, but I don’t spend my money with them.
Anytime I can’t find something somewhere else, I just move on and forget about it.
The only times I’ve ever been bummed about it is when I’m working on some small project and the parts are half the price on Amazon. Most recently, it was parts for an arcade machine.
If I’m being inconvenienced, I don’t even know it.
I walked away originally when they acquired cdnow.com. I last visited the site when it began redirecting to Amazon.

Yeah it’s really interesting just how broad it can all be.
- Comment on Surprise! 3 weeks ago:
It is definitely a spectrum. My best friend of the last 20 odd years once said to me, “I’m theoretically bisexual, but honest to god bisexual in some ways. Theoretically in the sense that I cannot imagine myself being emotionally intimate with a man, but I wouldn’t shut it down if I ever found myself in a position where it was working for me. Honest to god in the sense that in the exact moment of peak horny, I am attracted to both men and women.”
Every serious relationship he’s ever had, he’s had with a woman.

Well, yeah, you can call it “paused” if you want to. The cruise control definitely stays on though and resumes the set speed when you stop accelerating. It completely disengages when you brake though, so I’ve never thought of it as turning off when I accelerate, only when braking.
- Comment on Tesla loses Autopilot wrongful death case in $329 million verdict 4 weeks ago:
I’ve never had one that turns it off if I accelerate.
They’ve all shut off if I tapped the brakes though.

- Comment on ‘If I switch it off, my girlfriend might think I’m cheating’: inside the rise of couples location sharing 5 weeks ago:
I can’t imagine having something like this.
You know what kind of couples I have known who use it?
Yep. That kind. The constant accusation, constant fighting, constant chaos kind. The same kind who share a Facebook account and all that.
I guess my bias there would be that those would also be the kind of people who advertise it.
I was standing beside an old coworker one time when her husband called, “babe, don’t freak out when I start moving. The boss is sending me to harbor freight to pick up some things.”
I got a call from her in the middle of the night one time, “I’m sitting by the lake and I’m about do drive my car in and kill myself.”
She knew her husband didn’t like me so she thought I wouldn’t call him. Well, I called him. “That bitch is lying. Life 360 has her sitting at her mom’s house right now. She just fucking wants attention!”
Still, I called a friend and asked them to drive by and see. Yep. She was at her mom’s house.

Well, I mean, if a person wants to ride a bike 40 miles for 4 1/2 hours to the nearest Walmart I’m sure they could.
About 4,500 people live here and most of them have cars or they’re stuck.
We have public transit but about 30 people use it. My neighbor said it’s a 2.5 hour ordeal to go to the post office when he could be there and back in 20 minutes in a car. He got old and lost his license.

No one is traveling on a bicycle or walking here. These roads are empty, there’s nothing there. I live in one of the most rural places in the country (United States).
It was seriously 20 miles straight with no houses, wide road, 25 mph. In residential areas there are still 25 mph speed limits.
On our 4 lane road, bicycles are not allowed, yet the speed limit was only 35-40.
Where there are sidewalks, the speed limit is 25 mph. If there are buildings, 25 mph.
Empty roads with nothing but fucking trees should not be 25 mph.
In all of my years driving on those roads, I don’t even think I’ve ever seen a bicycle. A couple of those tiny, slow motorcycles, maybe. I guess they call them scooters
- Comment on Welcome to petty lane 1 month ago:
Everywhere in my town was 25mph until about 10 years ago.
A local politician got a few speeding tickets and went nuts over it, now it varies from 25-60mph. Engineers were brought in to advise on safe limits.
Him getting those tickets was one of the best things to ever happened to me. It was so miserable driving so slow on big open roads. I could probably sit down and figure up an insane amount of time I’ve saved over the last decade (if I weren’t an idiot).
