Bribes

Remember when bribery was illegal? That was before the nazi in chief of the fascist states of america declared that it was a smart move to let a foreign government give you an airplane as a present. Our new air force one, which will stop being air force one and become trump’s personal plane once he leaves office, assuming he leaves office before he dies.

Yeah, this country fucking sucks. Can you imagine if Barack Obama told the public he was taking a passenger jet as a gift from an Islamic nation? Fucking fascists.


Change of subject. Two things to look forward to this week. First, I have my three year post-gastric bypass surgery check in at the weight loss clinic. I expect them to tell me that I am the greatest patient they have ever had, and that no patient they’ve dealt with has ever had such overwhelming success with their post-op program. I am hoping for a plaque or something to honor me.

Of infinitely greater importance, my step son Harry is going to graduate from the University of Vermont this weekend. I am so proud I am so proud I am so proud I am so proud. Did I mention how proud I am? We’ll be heading up there after work on Friday. I am really looking forward to it. I don’t know if you can tell by the context of this paragraph, but I am really proud of Harry.


Okay, Robert. Back to work with you.

Economic Blackout

I don’t know how many americans are in on this plan, but I am. Friday, February 28th, let’s not spend any money anywhere if we can avoid it. Let’s see if a big chunk of the population can make a small ripple in the billionaires’ bank accounts and then see what happens.

I’m game if you all are.

#ProudBlue#50501MovementDon’t forget! Stay home if you can, don’t buy gas, don’t order online, don’t spend a dime. Make your voice heard with the economic blackout on 2/28.

Goal Within Goal Within Goal

So I am doing this 50 songs in 90 days challenge thing. If you have spent more than two seconds on this little pagey page you might have seen me post something about it.

July 4 through October 1. 90 days. Three calendar months. I also have a personal sub-goal along with the 50 songs thing. It’s to do an RPM Challenge style album in each of the three months. That’s either 10 songs written entirely within the calendar month, or 35 minutes of music. In July I somehow, magically, ended up with 20 songs. In August I only managed 14. Those combined with a few songs that were started in one month and finished in another had me at 42 songs on September 1st. That means that in order to finish the album in a month for September I have to get to 52 songs. Okay. I can do that.

I have a third goal now. It’s a mini-goal based on the three times in the past that I have completed the 50 songs in 90 days challenge. The first time was 2014. I ended the 90 days with exactly 50 songs finished. There was a 51st song but I never finished it. I still haven’t. The next time I completed the challenge was in 2020. I finished with 51 songs. Suck it, 2014! I beat you by one! The next time I pulled it off was 2021. I finished with 52 songs. Victory is mine, once again! 2021 rules, 2020 drools!

That leads me to this year’s goal within a goal within a goal. This year I want to get to 53. 50 songs completes the main challenge. 52 will give me the secondary challenge. 53 will give me the third challenge. I have 40 songs complete right now and nine more in progress. I have to finish those nine and then add four more.

I can do it. I think. Yeah, I can do it.

But first… it’s bed time.


PS: Still not watching the debate, but social media (which I know is an echo chamber based on my personal political beliefs and all) is hinting that Vice President Harris is effectively mopping the floor with the fascist fucker’s Nixon-esque flop sweat. Sounds epic.

Feeling the Need to Scream a Little

So the orange pile of fascist goo has had a day. First he had his classified documents court case dismissed because… well, because the judge overseeing the case was one of his appointees. The “legal” reason the judge used was that the appointing of the special council was unconstitutional? Based on which constitution, I wonder? I don’t think she was referring to the US Constitution. Maybe she was referring to some theoretical post-project 2025 constitution? Who fucking knows.

After that, the orange shit clown announced his running mate. It’s a maga piece of dung from Ohio, JD Vance. Is senator Vance open to being murdered by the maga cult the way the orange nazi fuck wanted his last VP to be murdered? Is this Vance dick a pro-gallows kinda guy?

There is no hope for us, is there.
