There’s a bunch of avoidance of the logical process going on in the Herald article below, but I love the comm chatter in the video 😀 My immediate response is, “advanced drone.” Just because your tech can’t keep up doesn’t mean someone’s tech can’t keep up. But, wouldn’t it be rad if aliens stopped by, thought, “Nah bro, too cold,” and went to an inner planet? Source: you can get a media-sensationalized info dump here.

This is glorious. I need to find a way to incorporate, “by the divine grace of the infant Christ,” into a book. Got my days wrong and ended up alone in a room with my boss and the President of Ireland while I was on ketamine. https://t.co/gSjPY8WjKL — Seamas It Ever Was (@shockproofbeats) May 3, 2018  

There’s a school of wisdom that says you shouldn’t change more than one thing at once. Why? If you do and something gets destroyed, you can’t be sure which change caused the failure. Since I’m more into positivity than dire gloom, I rephrase this as, If something turns amazing, you’re not quite sure which thing brought the sunlight in. I think around July 2015, we were advised our home was being acquired under compulsory acquisition provision within the Public Works Act by the Greater Wellington Regional Council. I posted on Facebook about it in early August, but since Internet stalkers probably can’t read it, here’s what I said: Yo. The Kitney and I have got a few emails on this over the past couple o’ days. The short version is that yes, this does effect us – our home is one Read More …

Much as it pains me to admit it, I’m not perfect. Realizing this about the age of 35 came as a huge shock. Since then, I’ve spent time ‘looking back’ and ‘getting laser focused’ on what I did wrong (or, to be nice to myself, what I might have done better). Below are my collection of thoughts for the 2017 calendar year. Laugh, cry, or ignore. And always, ever onward. Health I left the Death Star in January 2017, with a litany of health issues. My goal during 2017 was to get my shit straight. Sort out my body to become a new Adonis. Meditate daily to settle my head. Turns out, no. While I’ve got my health back to what most people would call “pretty fit,” it’s not where I thought I’d get to. A variety of challenges caused Read More …

We’ve all got ’em. Before we get stuck in, I want to share this outstanding video from Will Smith. I’m tired. Mostly, I’m tired about trying to understand what I should be angry about these days. There’s someone, somewhere, right now, who wants me to be angry about a particular thing. Friends, I’m just about done. There’s only so much rage my heart can hold, and it passed the safe levels a year or more ago. Now we’ve set the tone … One of the things that grinds my gears is the concept of absolutes. Red vs. blue. East vs. west. Left vs. right, cats vs. dogs, whatever. The way I see it? There’s far more things we have in common than not, but the current skein of the media, your Facebook feed, or even dinner party conversations is about taking sides. Read More …

In my quest to bring a few popular Facebook posts back from the brink of being locked-in, this one is replicated below. via GIPHY We’re right on the edge of something particularly awesome. I know this is probably the view of anyone at any given time in history – you know, that guy who’s sitting around the first human-made fire. Screw collecting burning trees struck by lightning and trying to keep ’em burning: this dude’s rubbed some sticks together or whatever, he’s got fire on demand, he’s getting warm, and that dude’s saying, “Man, being a human is awesome, and we’re right on the fucking pinnacle of achievement here.” The more specific awesome thing I’m talking about here is equality, but we’re not quite there yet. I think we all have a part to play, through our own personal platforms. Read More …

With the recent Facebook changes, I figured it was about time to drag a few posts out of there and pop ’em here. I’ve replicated this one below, in case there is an end-of-times event where it disappears from the source. I realized today that not *everyone* is an asshole. Bear with me. This might take a while to break down. You know how people are getting depressed or anxious more in today’s world, right, this isn’t exactly news. There have been more meds proscribed for more conditions than ever before, and if you don’t know someone suffering from depression or anxiety you’re probably an insensitive jerk or living in the woods wearing nothing animal skins, and if it’s the latter you’re probably not reading this anyway. I’m wondering, you know, about why this is. People are talking about how it’s Read More …
