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.

Debate

Tonight is Presidential Debate night here in the USA. I am not watching.

Any time I see that fascist piece of dog shit I want to punch something as hard as I can and I really don’t want to cause any damage around the house tonight.

Fuck that fascist asshole. I hope Vice President Harris verbally kicks his ass all the way back to the stone age from whence he came. Prick.

Optimism?

I can admit when I am wrong. It doesn’t happen often (that is sarcasm, it happens constantly) but when it does I can fess up to it.

When the media was going on and on about Joe Biden dropping out of the race I was very much a pissed off red head. No way. We held the primary. He won. That’s it. Yes he is old, but the nazi orange shit clown is old too and Joe is WAY more stable than that putz was even in his prime. I wanted Joe to stay in the race.

Then he dropped out. Shit. That’s when something I didn’t expect happened. Kamala Harris stepped up and somehow… magically… unified the entire party. Suddenly we were all on the same page and ready to go. Had that ever happened in my lifetime? Maybe late in Obama’s first run we might have felt something like this, but I don’t think it was this intense. Maybe it’s a social media echo chamber kind of thing where the algorithms are only bringing me people I agree with (yes, I know that’s a big part of this) but come one, folks. The transition from the Biden campaign to the Harris campaign was electric. It felt GREAT.

I will admit it. I was wrong about wanting Biden to stay in the race. Given what we know now, that would have been the wrong move.

Now we are adding Tim Walz to the ticket as Harris’ running mate and that unified feeling has intensified times a billion. Where has this guy been all of our lives? I feel so good about the state of things right now that I could almost be described as… I don’t want to say it but… I could almost be described as feeling patriotic. Almost. Who the hell saw that coming?

Harris/Walz in 2024. I might want to throw some more money at them. Bring it on!

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.

I Do Not Want This

I hate that nazi mother fucker with every fiber of my being, but I want him to lose the election in humiliating yet legal fashion and then I want him to spend the rest of his miserable life in jail.

This is not the way we do things in a free and democratic country. This is the way they do things in the type of country that that orange nazi shit heel fucker wants to morph us into.

I absolutely do not want this. Never. I don’t care how much I hate someone, I do not wish violence on anyone. We should be better than that. We should be more evolved than that.

Guilty

I’m late to the party tonight because I’ve been driving all day but…….

Good news, even though I’m sure he’ll never set food in a jail cell. It’s still good news.

Vote

Tonight at just after 7:00pm I cast ballot number 345 in Methuen, MA precinct five. It was just under an hour before the polls close. It’s 8:00pm as I type this so I can now say past tense, the polls closed.

There were no races of consequence, really. One local race was unopposed, another had about 15 candidates for 35 seats. Another was President Biden running against a few people I’ve never heard of who have zero chance of winning. There was one two candidate race. Maybe my vote will have meaning in that one.

That’s okay. I feel like a hypocrite when I miss an election. Even when there are no races that require a large turn out. We’ll have one of those in November this year. Vote against the fascists. Vote against the maga cult. Vote against trump. Vote for Biden. Vote Democrat. Let’s have a blue wave. We have eight months to organize. Let’s do it.

Indicted Again

Third time is the charm? This is the one I’ve really wanted. String him up by his treasonous toes.

He’s still going to win the nomination by a landslide though because half of the people in this country are at best fascist sympathizers. There is no America left to save. Not really.

More Indictments Coming?

Trump went on his nazi social network today to tell us that he may be getting another indictment soon. This time for his actions on January 6, 2021.

Good.

Also, finally.

That’s what you get when you try to overthrow my country’s legally elected democratic government. I hope they throw him in jail for the rest of his life.

Granted, as much fun as all of these indictments are (this would make it three, and Georgia may soon make it four), I think the fun is wearing off. I think now what we need is some convictions. Especially convictions that are paired with long prison sentences.

Nazi filth like trump belong rotting in jail.

Donald Trump has been Arrested

It’s not as awesome as I would have thought, but it’s still pretty wonderful.

CNN Reports: Donald Trump under arrest ahead of historic court appearance

The arraignment was scheduled for 2:15pm, which was about 25 minutes ago. The hearing will not be broadcast so we won’t get to watch live. I don’t know if there will be video released after the fact. I hope so.

There are apparently 34 felony counts. They are all business related though, at least in part due to the Stormy Daniels hush money. None of them are related to his attempted coup on January 6, 2021. The nazi prick needs to go away forever for that, but I’d be okay with him already being in jail when that particular sentence is announced.

I was also hoping we’d get a mug shot to revel in for a while, but some of the stories I’ve read say he is not going to have one taken. Other stories say it’s unclear if he will or not, but it’s seeming a little doubtful. Oh well.

Happy Trump has been Arrested Day!
