I’m moving on. Quitting my job.
For several years I have worked with produce. Loading it. Sorting it. Checking the quality. A man can only do so much of that before he destroys his liver through alcoholism.
The liver is a very important organ. Why do you think they call it that?
I need a change. I pride myself on having worked a wide variety of jobs. I have gassed up airplanes, sold pot, cooked, detailed limos, waited tables, painted houses, babysat, dog walked, landscaped, sold vacuum cleaners, pretended to be a psychic on the phone, changed oil, hauled garbage.
I feel I need to add to the list one more time. True, I am getting older now, at a point when a person should be looking for stability. But I get bored.
One more notch on the blue collar belt before I keel over and die.
Plus, my boss is a colossal dick….
So my computer died.
Don’t you hate it when your computer dies? I’ve had computers since the early 90s and they all die. One day, they just won’t turn on, usually, or you will get an error message and BOOP that’s it.
These days, I go in knowing they’re going to die, so I don’t really put anything on them. This time, I lost some writing, the spreadsheets I built for stock trading (rebuilding them WILL be a pain in the ass), but other than that, nothing much. The entire Night Court series. Some Dirty Jobs episodes. Pictures of this girl’s ass and feet I took (with her permission and encouragement). No biggie.
I am now on a backup laptop. One day, it will die too.
Computers are temporary. Like flowers.

MGMT - Time To Pretend
MGMT - Time To Pretend
Jesus H. Christ what a massive bookcase!
I try to be nice guy and help out my friends and shit, but this was a MASSIVE bookcase.
“What’re you, the fuckin library?” I said to him.
See, this is why I don’t recommend owning a pick up truck. People always got something for you to do.
He is now in the process of buying me alcohol. It better be a lot.
A Columbia professor contends that 'white supremacist' is the new 'racist'.
In Time magazine, Columbia English professor John McWhorter, says that now that the term ‘racist’ has been used so sloppily by the left, they have to switch to 'white supremacist’. Racism, I guess, no longer has the same cache. I previously wrote about this, in 2015 even. Here. I was quite worried about the word being hollowed out and rendered meaningless, because, you know, there are still real live racists in the world, their hearts filled with hate, but I didn’t express that in the article. I expressed only sarcasm and irreverence because I am sarcastic and irreverent.
Racism is now a word everyone discounts: “Oh, she’s a racist? So you mean she doesn’t agree with you?”
The same fate seems to be in store for white supremacist, too, now. Groovy. You on the left are doing a bang up job of name-calling.
The problem I see here, is what I call 'holy warrior-ism’. Jihadism, essentially: “Our opponents don’t have dissenting opinions or differing beliefs. They’re fucking evil.”
Whatever. The Crusades were an utter failure, too.

What's wrong with factory jobs? Unless your against the US producing their own commodities.
You miss my sarcasm and irreverence, my anonymous friend. There ain’t one goddamn thing wrong with factory jobs. Indiana even gets to keep some more. I voted Trump hardcore. It was the darkest circle I colored in.
Garth Brooks says he’s willing to perform at the Inauguration.
OMG “Friends in Low Places” would be perfect!
All of these “deplorables” crawling out of their trailer courts and pick up trucks and dwindling factory jobs and voting that crazy bastard in.
It would be a thing of beauty.
“Blame it all on my roots,
I showed up in boots
and ruined your black tie affair…“
Sheer brilliance.
Q: Why is the sky blue?
A: Because if it was green we wouldn’t know where to stop mowing.

What do you think of the pipeline protest? What do you think of Trump's statement on flag-burning? What do you think of his cabinet picks? What do you think about Breitbart and the altright?
Jeez, somebody is questiony.
1. I think the pipeline protest is fine. They got the right to protest. Also, private landowners got the right to have them removed. I don’t follow it very closely, but I think they are on public land now. Have at it. I don’t much care.
2. I think burning the flag is freedom of speech.
3. I don’t really care. I have noticed they’ve been called a bunch of racists, but it’s 2016 and they call everyone racists. Ho hum. We’ll see how he does.
4. I only learned about Breitbart after the election. I went there and it was too ad heavy. Slow loading. Seemed click-baity to me. I left.
5. I only learned about the alt-right recently as well. Accusations of racism again, which these days I always take with a grain of salt. Racists now range from those who are actually racist to people who disagree with the Democratic Party’s view of immigration. I looked them up on Wikipedia and it said they were racist. Ho hum.
