Sean Spicer Needs to Lose His Job – 4/11/17 Edition

I can’t even put it into words.  The level of stupidity is beyond anything I’ve ever witnessed by a public speaker before.  It’s astounding.  I have a hard time believing it, really.

To say that Adolf Hitler never used chemical weapons… Is Zyklon B not a chemical?  Is it not a weapon?  Is that what Mr Spicer was trying to say when he continually argued his point?  Then to say Hitler never used chemical weapons on his own people?  How many dead German Jews does it take before one accepts that he used chemical weapons on his own people?  One Thousand?  One Million?  What’s the definition, Sean?  Please share your reasoning with the rest of the Nation.

This is unforgivable.  The fact that the fascist piece of shit president didn’t fire him IMMEDIATELY tells us all we really need to know about this administration, doesn’t it?

I can’t believe that this happened today.  During Passover, no less.  I can’t believe this is what has become of my country.

Procedures

We are a touch less than a year and a half on from my step son’s type one diabetes diagnosis.  That was the scariest thing I’ve ever been a part of.  Since then he’s had frequent check ups and his handling of his blood sugar has been closely monitored.  A few weeks ago his doctors saw something that deserved a closer look, and today he went in for a couple of procedures.

He was nervous about the IV, but he wasn’t nervous about being put under, or about the procedures themselves.  My wife and I were nervous enough about those for all of us.  The staff treated him well.  They explained everything they did at every step of the process, and worked very hard to make sure the IV process went as smoothly and painlessly as possible.

In the end, everything went by the book.  We have to wait a couple of days for the results, but the doctor who handled everything said it all looked good to him.  My step son is incredibly brave and unbelievably tough.  The universe keeps dealing him a weak hand and he keeps rolling with it and turning the lemons into lemonade.  I’m very proud of him, as always.  Good job, bro.

Mental Illness? Aka Does Anyone Else Do This?

Tell me if this is a common thing, or a sign that I have mental problems…

We can all agree that the greatest candy the Earth has ever known is Cadbury Mini-Eggs, right?  That’s indisputable.  When I eat a bag of Mini-Eggs I like to open the bag, pour the contents into a bowl, and then eat them…

…one color at a time.

That’s not unusual, is it?  Everyone does that, right?  I’m not mentally defective, am I?

Yeah, I probably am mentally defective.

10 Years

Today is a special day.

Untitled

This photo has special meaning that relates to why it is a special day.

10 years ago tonight I ate dinner at a different Outback Steakhouse location.  The one in the picture is in Methuen and the one I went to 10 years ago was in Lowell.  The Outback isn’t the special thing about today.  What happened at the Outback, now that’s the special thing.

10 years ago today, I went on a date with a really nice woman.  I had a great time.  It was the best first date ever.  That first date lead to a second date, and a third, and a within a couple of years it lead to marriage.

Yes, that’s right.  10 years ago today, my beloved bride and I had our first date.  That was the first day of the best 10 year stretch of my life.  I love Jennifer more than words can describe.  More than any words I could ever come up with at least.  She is everything to me.  I adore her.  I love her.

Defenders

 

I was talking about this with Mike the Bass Player at the gig.  We feel like, after the awesomeness of 2 seasons of Daredevil, and Jessica Jones, and Luke Cage, that maybe the reason the Iron Fist season was only so-so (by comparison) was because they rushed through it to get to The Defenders mini-series.

That’s fine by me!

Pissed Off Red Head

This is an “I’m a pissed off red head” post and it has nothing to do with Donald “Fascist Piece of Shit” Trump.

It’s March 31st.  We have a gig tomorrow, April 1st.

We’re at the start of a weather forecast that’s calling for something along the lines of 13-20 inches of snow between tonight and tomorrow.  Tomorrow morning I have to make the drive to Concord for one of the kids’ school events.  It’s a 40 minute drive without traffic.  I expect the drive to actually run around 3-4 hours.  Then I have to get home in time to load out of our rehearsal space and load into the bar and set up and soundcheck and oh my god my head is going to explode at the thought of how horrendously shitty tomorrow is going to be.

Mother nature is almost as big a piece of shit as Donald “Nazi Pile of Pig Filth” Trump.

Almost.
