Melting Bananas, My Phone Roams, and the RNC

My apartment gets hot.  If I were smart I would start renting it out as a Bikram Yoga studio.  I am at the point where I hibernate in my bedroom with the AC unit.  To demonstrate just how hot it is, I purchased bananas 3 days ago.  They melted.  Actual mush for produce that had been sitting on the counter for 3 days.  I've never seen anything like it.

My mailbox says I have one unread email.  I have been through every mailbox.  Twice. There are no unread emails.  I feel like it is one of those April Fool's pranks that Google pulls only it last all year for me.

I got myself a new phone plan recently.  Same provider.  Different plan.  The service is so much worse.  I'm not even sure how that happens, but I get voicemails 12 hours after they are left and service cuts out.  It even has me "roaming" like I am using a car phone from 1992.  

I'm not sure what to say about the first night of the Republican National Convention.  I mean, Duck Dynasty and Charles in Charge don't exactly scream "Make America Safe Again", but I guess that's why I'm not a Republican strategist.  Funny thing is that Charles in Charge or the lawyer from Arrested Development was asked by Donald Trump to speak at the convention a week before the event.  A week.  Talk about grasping at straws.  I'm not saying I have my schedule mapped out to the minute, but you would think that someone would have said, "Hey guys, we have this really big event coming up and we need speakers.  Think we should get on this?" perhaps a couple months out.  Just a thought.

On that note: all I am saying is that if professors at EVERY COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY in the U.S. have access to plagiarism software, don't you think the RNC could have run their speeches through something similar?  There must be an app for that.

Why Dry January Sucks -

Each year for the last ten or so I attempt to do some form of holiday excess cleanse.  This isn't unique.  I have read a lot about different experiences people have had with not drinking for 31 days to start the year and they are all the same and very different than mine.  So here goes - This is my experience with not drinking for the month of January.  Ok, so maybe not the entire month... 1.  I woke up the morning of January 1st 2021 and....made myself a mimosa.  So right off the bat, dry January fail.  Whatever, we had leftover champagne and not so fresh OJ in the fridge.  This was me dedicating myself to being less wasteful in the new year.   2. As soon as I had that first drink, what the hell, football was on, may as well head to the corner store for a six pack and a pack of smokes and really get after it.  Please note, I do not smoke, it is just an expression.  3. I head to the corner store to buy some Powerball tickets and another six pack.  I walk back in 20 minutes later wi

Oprah, Arby's, Do Not Disturb

Life has been relatively amazing the last few months.  I decided to take some time off to travel, visit with friends & family, and to write/work on some creative projects/focus on the next career move.  A few thoughts: 1. When I am driving down the highway and I haven't seen an Arby's for a hundred miles.  I will say to myself, "Where the fuck is the Arby's?"  That said, I visited an Arby's that was OUT OF ROAST BEEF.  It was the low point of the last 4 months.  2. The movie "The Big Short" is listed under the "Comedy" section on Netflix.   Can we all agree that is a sick joke of some sort?  Yes, the movie has a few zingers in it, but a movie about millions of people going broke and losing their homes is not what I would consider "funny".   3. I'm not saying I want Oprah to run for president, but I certainly wouldn't bet against her.  Her ability to connect is what Hillary lacked.   Oprah is great an

We Have All Lost Our Minds

I was having a conversation last night where the words, "Each day is worse than the last" were spoken.  I'm not sure that I'm there quite yet, but whoa.... we are at an 11 and need to get down to maybe a 4.  I am friends with people from a whole lot of walks of life.  Some incredibly liberal and others incredibly conservative.  There is one underlying theme that I can see in both sides.  They absolutely, 100%, without question, think the other side is wrong and they are right.  It is tough to watch what is happening to this country.  Nevermind the fact that we are living in this turmoil daily. I would ask my conservative friends - was life so bad under Obama?  Do you genuinely feel that he was trying to hurt you and your family?  I really don't.  You may disagree with his policies, but the entire idea of wanting to end two wars, keeping the economy upright, not wanting our planet to melt, and getting people healthcare isn't exactly a reason to hate the guy.
