8.366. A New Day

Happy New Year of the Blog!

Okay, well, I kinda forgot that this was going to be that day after all the hype about writing it up big the day of the new year. Was it actually yesterday, or is the 366 actually the day? Was last year a leap year? I know none of these answers. Here’s what I know: I’m in the second year of the 8th era of the ten minute rule. Funny how eras and dates work, eh? Been thinking about that in terms of how the Japanese shape their own system as well as the Aztecs. Here we just go with “Jesus died, so that’s our reset.” Needless to say I have problems with the format. I try to limit the things I allow myself to have a problem with to the span of one hand. It’s like that four burner philosophy so many business people use, but for other people’s bullshit. To quote another trite business phrase, “I don’t have the bandwith” which is utterly true. Traditionally, Burners are Family, Work, Health, and Friends…. Can you guess what two live at the back of my stove? My scale can argue for one of them.

Meanwhile, I am still supposed to be reflecting on a year gone by. I don’t have time for it (bandwith again…). Instead, I have just enough time to share…

Some Thoughts:

  1. Absolutely Bonkers Headline of the Day: “Hawks plan a Magic City tribute night with lemon pepper wings, T.I. and merch” For context, Magic City is a Strip Club. A strip club they are referring to as a ““iconic cultural institution,” Just saying…
  2. I also could’ve gone with “Viral phenomenon in Argentina has young people identifying themselves as animals” with that Hopper movie coming out, this hits a little bit on the nose as of late…
  3. Things I think I think: Students don’t want feedback so much as they want fans and a pat on the back.
